[QUOTE="ak47, post: 96108"] Latham reckon he is good chance to make RWC But if he doesnt Watch Clinton Shif have a great season in QLD, and take the honours Trust me..............its not a biased comment or view.........he was the #1 FB statistically in RL the last few seasons, with only Minichello having better FB stats for 1 of the years These FB stats comprise of..........Kick return meters, Bombs defused, Tackles, Missed Tackles, line-breaks, kick returns, tackles broken etc Shif is a machine of consistency............he has taken the FB of the year in RL recently, only to have the usual incumbants in Minichello always take the #1 jersery...Hunt came in because of Lockyer combo. and yes he can adapt to union........like Rogers, like Tiquiri...in fact i wont hesitate to say Shif is a better athlete/player then Rogers...he can do everything better than Rogers except maybe with agility, darting and weaving, but he is much stronger than Rogers, can kick better (garaunteed), can pass better, can do everything better.......rogers was winger in League FFS.....Shif was a FB, come in 5/8th (fly half) on the last few tackles.......thus the balls skills are abundant. The reason why Shif only has 2 SOO appearances is due to Lockyer #1, and Shif on the wing wouldnt work when u have Hodges, Rogers, Tiquiri Sailor (of course this is going back years) If Knuckles is blowing up at the release of Rogers......it is clear it was perceived that Rogers was second choice FB....that being assumed, I cant see Gerrard, Mitchell getting in, when Shif is a better athlete/player in rugby League than Matty Rogers will ever be. Obviously S14 form will depict the outcome..............IMO Shif will have a stellar year especially now he has the opportunity to shine at #15 in QLD with Latham gone........I just hope the ARU dont go all "oh he's a league boy with no international experience we cant pick him" stance And yes Shif has Union background during his career aswell....he wont be a fish out of water in this game - ala Wendell Sailor [/QUOTE]
