Here's my post again.....I've highlighted the bit your laziness/tardiness missed.
BTW, Knock Down Nigel and his everlasting bumper book of Spin refers to Nigel Wood...he's a rather large chap who runs the RFL and has recently discovered the art of the spin-doctored press release.

Don't know him. So you're attempt at being funny FAILED.

Manly NEVER played.

I think I'll take Rooster's local knowledge rather than GF's ability to copy and paste from the internet.

For this weekend, I'd go with Gigot and Drinkwater in the halves and give Farrar an interchangeable wing/centre spot alongside Atkins on the right. I think the really important variable is how Drinkwater shapes up behind a weak pack (hopefully bolstered by Dollapi).

Not true. He played all of the 2013 season in NSW Cup and was 18th man for first grade on a few occasions.

Sorry I'm showing my ignorance here, I did not realise NSW cup counted as first grade. I would have assumed that counted as Reserve Grade with NRL being first grade....

Have you ever watched an nsw cup match?

Let me say the nsw cup matches I watch (over 10 games a season) are near enough super league standard, it is high quality stuff!!

It's still not first grade.

True, but it is not part time stuff aswell.

Each nsw cup team are feeders for a nrl team. From my recent chats with rooster, he knows (and take it from me he knows) and I know that the pool of talent there is breathtaking. Also all these players are one step away from an nrl start. With this in mind this is what makes the standard so high, the dream of making that next step.

Do not consider nsw cup a sub standard level. It definitely is not!!! The guys are as fit as there counterparts in the nrl, they go as hard as their nrl counterparts.

NSW cup is a good standard of comp, but it is not FIRST GRADE! Hope that clears this up
