maybe i wont put segeyaro in it
Actually, up until the last game, I thought McKendry was playing ok. In the trial against Parra they had Humble at Half for a period and then Austin and I thought Austin was the better of the 2.
As for Grant, I really wish he was back in the starting side.....I understand what Cleary is doing trying to bring Grant in after 20 to give some more impact but I really think he should be starting.

Actually would be a bad move, he will get straight back onto FB,Twitter,Instagram, to keep up with all his friends back home, with no spotlight on him, he will be at the pub constantly, he needs to be supervised and have people enforce what ever sanctions the NRL puts on him...
P.S Pretty sure Robbie Farah told the Prime Minister of Australia to hang herself.... what did the NRL do?

FORMER Australian captain-coach and St George legend Ian Walsh has died, throwing the rugby league world into mourning.
Walsh, 80, who returned to his home town of Forbes a decade ago, died after a long illness.
He was a giant of the game in his playing days as the 1963 Test captain, leading Australia to its historic Ashes triumph against Great Britain in England with wins in the First Test 28-2 at Wembley, 50-12 in the second Test at Swinton before losing the third Test 16-5 at Leeds.
It was the first time an all Australian side had won the rugby league Ashes in England. The only previously successful Ashes-winning team was the 1911-12 side that included New Zealand players.
Walsh described he historic Ashes win as "the greatest moment of my rugby league life. We had finally done it."
Credited with establishing the template for modern day hookers of intelligent running from dummy half, Walsh joined St George from the bush in 1962, playing in five winning grand final sides in the club’s record run of 11 successive premierships between 1956-66.
He was captain-coach of the 1966 side that won the grand final 23-4 against Balmain and the 1967 side that lost 12-11 to Canterbury in the final, ending St George’s record run.
Walsh played 25 Tests between 1959-66, toured with the 1959-60 and 1963-64 Kangaroos and made two tours to New Zealand.
He was a strong contender for the Australian Rugby League team of the Century in 2008 and was named in the NSW Country Rugby League’s Team of the Century.
He also coached Parramatta in 1971-72 and for more than a decade was a forthright and fearless rugby league columnist with The Daily Telegraph.
Team-mates and friends were mourning today when they learned of Walsh’s passing.
"He was a great player and a great man. I toured with him in 1967 and played under him at St George," said Immortals fullback Graeme Langlands.
"It’s a sad day for rugby league."
Former Test forward Noel Cleal and Walsh founded a strong friendship in recent years based on their rural upbringing.
"We both loved the bush. There was never a better man to go camping and fishing with than Ian.
"We talked a lot of football. He was a great companion and a great footballer."
Funeral details are yet to be announced.
