I’m sure Nathan Cleary dreamed off running out wearing that famous number 14 shirt worn by all the great halfbacks he grew up watching

I prefer 1-13 … I can handle squad numbers for a tournament where you have a squad … what the Aussies are doing is ridiculous and obviously taking the ######

Yeh it’s #### Parkinson , he replaced Perenara on the elite panel and has got plenty of good write ups but I’m not really familiar with him tbh

The Hammer has signed for Redcliffe on a two year deal with the incentive being he’ll play fullback

There was talk of Martin moving on as well , not sure if that one has legs

I’ll stretch this out and say it’s a squad … Men’s and women’s tournament officials: Atkins, Grant (NRL); Badger, Kasey (NRL); Bowmer, Dean (RFL); Casty, Ben (FFRXIII); Child, James (RFL); Furner, Darian (NRL); Gee, Adam (NRL); Grant, Tom (RFL); Griffiths, Marcus (RFL); Hicks, Robert (RFL); Horton, Neil (RFL); Kendall, Chris (RFL); Klein, Ashley (NRL); Moore, Aaron (RFL); Moore, Liam (RFL); Parkinson, #### (NZRL); Poumes, Geoffrey (FFRXIII); Raymond, Wyatt (NRL); Rush, Liam (RFL); Sharpe, Belinda (NRL); Smaill, Michael (RFL); Smith, Jack (RFL); Smith, Todd (NRL); Sutton, Gerard (NRL); Tamarua, Rochelle (NZRL); Thaler, Ben (RFL); Turley, Warren (RFL); Vella, James (RFL)

He isn’t . Put Herbie in that Penrith team and Crichton in that Broncos team and you’d see . Herbie has been a standout in a team nowhere as strong with nowhere near the quality through the spine to give him the same number of opportunities

Pleased to see Herbie in that team . He had to play to blow the cobwebs off and hopefully he comes through with flying colours I think he’s very important

This exactly . It’s all on the day . On home soil I expect us to beat Samoa. But the fact we’re having discussions like this is a big tick for the tournament

I I do if we dont get vaguely back onto world cup players and squads

I’ll unashamedly say I love the new incarnation of All Creatures Great and Small . Last week was particularly poignant

I hope Forest give Cooper a longer run after where he’s brought them from and the huge number of new players they’ve got .

Unlike me who used to ring the speaking clock just to talk to someone . I rang the Samaritans once and they hung up . Luckily I like my own company

Probably my fault how I’m reading that…
