Indeed. Captain head hunting sick note is absent yet again from the named 17 to face the Aussies. I'd have given it to Graham in the first place. Tough as they come and a true leader

That's not what it says on the Sky Sports website article this morning....'following protocol naming unchanged squad'.....but could be a couple of changes including O'Loughlin who is recovering well apparently.

Your missing my point mate, I know he's gone to the NFL, to be a punt returner. You put punter, which is the guy who does the kicking out of hand. I thought the wink would have given it away.

Ahhh right I totally missed the wink
Always find it weird that people pick up on such small detail though but cheers any way

Hardly picking up on a small detail, I knew what you meant. I just thought the sight of Hayne punting in the NFL was pretty funny and I thought you'd get that.

No I would defo call it small detail and I wish I did find that funny, to me its just another one of our stars that we will potentially lose to another code, I guess this time at least its not union

I'm gutted more than anything

He's trialing. He hasn't actually signed for anyone yet has he.
I think he'll find it hard. Not to be the athelete, as he suits it well, but if he is kick return team, he has limited game time, and if he is wide receiver, he has a lot to learn and will be a year before he plays at any level if you ask me.

Seriously, you can't see the funny side of Hayne playing as a punter, who comes out now and again to punt the ball when the team doesn't make 10 yards. Sorry for trying to make a joke out of it then and ftr I wasn't calling you out for making a mistake, so stop being so touchy.

Like Poptart has said above, there's a very good chance he may not even get picked up by a NFL team and be back before we know it.

I tried to watch an NFL game last week; how that turgid, stop-start nonsense is so popular is absolutely beyond me. It's like someone sat down with rugby and deliberately tried to spoil it - then added Power Ranger outfits, just to compound the misery.

You've seen the new Salford strip then.

I really hope England win, for both reasons of our success and their failure but I worry that too many people are calling them weak when in reality, apart from the back row players playing in the front row, we'd happily have them playing for us.

Inglis, Cronk, Smith in any team is capable of winning.
