out of last nights game i think there needs to be a few changes.
D.hickey is a given had a great game in the 2s made linebreaks and agrassive in defence, although miles mcafery scored i dont think he offers as much as hickey does.
i think steve brandon needs another chance. someone who scored 9 tries in 2 games against shore and kings must be decent, and i dont think the wingers in the 2s were better tham him anyway.
they might think about swapping liam walker but may not be necessary had an ok game however has to work on his kicking in game play and goal kicking

on last night the players who have a NSW chance are:
GPS 4/5 there f**kin huge and were soild
CAS 6 his a freak NSW for sure and i reckon australia aswell
GPS 8 miles was pretty good but i think his a flanker? was one of the only good riverview boys
CAS 9 dont no his name but you could tell he goes to knox he played pretty well
GPS 10 played bad and aint that good but the CAS 10 was pretty bad aswell and liam has a great repution
GPS 12 he wasnt that strong but the CAS 12 was sh*t and adrain made heaps of great offloads
CAS 15 was very good and just ran it at brandon
GPS 15 second best on field behind O'Sullivin
also the 2 joeys guys who came on one of them was hickey i think the other was dicembre were very good
where was kingston did nothing at all and you cant blame an injury and brandon choked and was one of the worst but his got hope he scored 9 tries in 2 games
look out for dill walford from joeys played 2nds against shore and kings his very small but will play 1st again this year

So tell me, is O'Sullivan in his last year of school ? And I might very well need to whack me head against the desk a few times but I really didn't think Steve Brandon went that badly. He threw a shocking pass at the end when he'd looped around to make the extra man but apart from that I don't remember him destroying any furniture. And as for wingers the two in GPS 3rds (Manners & Bills) had great games. www.footypix.org

I have no idea why they rate Walker from Joeys. I was at the game yesterday and his performance did ntg to change my mind. He has no flair, no speed off the mark, a **** kicking game both as a playmaker and a goal kicker. He is a half back at best. Full stop and there are better half backs around than him. To top it off make him capt, its a joke. GPS will not win with him controlling the game, mind you Joeys would be well served to put him at half back, but the 2nds fly half whilst brilliant is too fragile, although he has great skills.
Great games from CAS no 6, GPS no 8 and of course GPS and CAS 15. If GPS 1s want to win agst CHS and avoid some embarrsment of finishing last, they need to get rid of the no10. He just doesnt have the skills. Give the GPS 3rds guy a run even.

I can't imagine him getting over Stirzaker or Roundtree even if he did play half.

Keliti, Hanga'ana and Walker were all ***king terrible.
That Moss kid got way too involved and overplayed his hand. Did some nice things but he's not the superstar he thinks he is.
Woodhouse was GPS's best and that 6 was CAS's best.
Wakim was very neat.
The Joeys prop who played number 3 for GPS 2s definitely deserved to be in GPS 1s.
Thought the GPS 1s second-rower from View was good but played quite wide, more of a blindside role.
The tiny Joeys winger in GPS 1s is electric but lacks the basic catch-pass skills. Looks a lot like Billy Slater did when he first started in the NRL.

No he really wasn't. Hate to say it but after yesterday's game i can almost safely say that we have reached that age where fobs no longer dominate the game, their once dominating size and agression has been matched by many other players this applies to keliti, sam and adrian although Usssia still dominates. if it wasnt for reputation there is no why selectors would look at sam or adrian for nsw selection

Neither had I, but must agree he gave GPS no direction at all

Sadly the best number 10 in the GPS was stranded standing at outside centre in the 3rds for half a game - Carmichael

You're right, he wasn't ****. But for a guy with that build, he was a massive letdown. He passed when he should've gone himself and he'd go himself when there was an overlap out wide. He didn't try and run through the line, he'd brace himself for hitups so that he'd bounce out of them without going forward. That's why he was able to get all those offloads away but not to players running onto them. Someone like Zippa was far more effective than Hanga'ana was because Zippa actually used his size to break the line rather than just bounce off it.

u obviously havent seen adrian play before because in every gps game i have seen him play except for maybe riverview last year he made at least4 or 5 line breaks... last night he played woefully by his standards and i can assure u on friday u wont be saying the same thing

As Robbie Deans said recently is about brains not brawn, and Keliti, Adrian and Sam are sadly lacking in that department. O'Sullivan was in the right spot at the right time last night and time will tell if he can go the distance. He definitely has the athletic ability.
