Side vs Blues

[Paddywhackers]

By no stretch of the imagination am I a Maxwell fan, but you're right, he was good against Melbourne. In fact, if it weren't for him and O'Brien, things might have got ugly.

Me either, I have my favourites but will always call a spade a spade, Maxwell has been good lately.

I am vey happy that Pendles is back in the team. And exited about Reid's inclusion. I really hope e takes this opportunity with both hands and shows us all the talent he has got.

For pick 8 in the superdraft, this guy has to be good doesn't he?

He is very young and very skinny but also has smarts and height, just as likely to get flogged as he is to kick a few. On the balance I think he was put in the side to stretch the Blues structure, he would not have been considered if Rus and/or Rocca were fit so again a good sign of our depth when we can bring in a quality tall forward and argue the merits of it. Will be a key player in future but would have been happy to see him play out the year in the 2's.
