i'm leaning towards it, i really am, i know someone else on here has said how grix and myler were quiet second half, but monas i think came on after we started taking control, and grix is doing a lot of organizing. There were a few people ed off at him in the first half when he put that kick through on the second, i wasn't too bothered, i'm happy for him to be backing himself if he feels the chance is there, and king wasn't too far away from that and sherrife was.



i'd also as saddened as said take the briers/saints emotion thang out of it, thoguh i've never subscribed to that personally as i've seen lee take them apart on one leg a few years back, saints still won and the focus was still on briers choking at KR again, i'd rather keep that out,



though as said, if he's fit, smith will put him straight back in.

Arguably not, although its almost certain he will play. Whilst we have struggled to function without Briers in recent years (and I do have to point out that I'd happily see him play till his 70's if it were possible), on evidence of the last few games, I've seen enough to think that may be changing. And its very heartening to realise this.



Personally I think Briers will have the game of his career next week though. I just got that feeling.

I like Grix, but not at halfback. I think It's because I've been spoilt watching Briers for so long. I expect everyones brain & hands to work as quickly as Lee's does, so when there's a mortal at halfback, it frustrates me.



When I review Grix in reality - he does a cracking job at halfback.



When I review him replacing Briers - I want him arrested.

What about Grix and Briers at half back and Myler on the bench?

Spot on. There doesn't seem to be as much flair in attack without Briers but the strange thing is, we're finally improving in other areas therefore we're a solid team across the board without him.



Its crazy.

which is exactly what we've been clamouring for, for years now

We might be EVEN better with Briers playing....

We will be, without doubt.



Back to Myler & Briers, maybe start Grix at 13.



Harrison on the bench. Harrison, Higham, Solomona, Wood.



Sorry Vinnie, hard lines. Harrison played within himself for me last night, I've no problem with that like, he had cycling shorts on too, maybe he had a slight strain or likes to feel 'compact'.

Been a long time coming hasn't it.

I did think about resting Harrison...

Or maybe with consideration of certain hairstyles within the squad this season, Ben feels he needs to take it to a new level with his bush? It could be a competition or something. I still think Vinnie's hair is awesome. He's got a total baby face to go with his fro.

His workrate is phenomenal. How he's still standing come the 80th minute I'll never know.
