Kenty

And Kentie, on the eve of Magic Round, this weekend is looming as a trial for many positions in State of Origin, particularly in the Queensland halves.

Well, his team's already picked, according to us, yesterday.

You were saying earlier that you didn't believe Billy took counsel from many other people.

Tanner Boyd, Jake Clifford, they'd have to be behind Sam, wouldn't they?

You can't hide the seven like you used to be able to, right?

He used to have that – remember he used to have that trip where – He used to trip him over his leg, yeah.

So Cameron Smith picked his team.

He didn't pick Reece Walsh at fullback.

Yeah, I don't know why.

What do you think about that?

The last thing on the halfback is obviously they have a lot of strike, whether they go with Walsh or Ponga.

Now they've got Harry Grant at nine.

They've got Munster at six.

So they don't necessarily need strike at seven, which is why some people are saying Clifford.

The thing to remember this year, Kent, is obviously we go to six reserves.

So it gives the coaches an ability to kind of carry a couple of playmakers in that position.

So just to update on the Metcalfe talk, he looks to be going to the Dragons.

The Bulldogs today have pulled out of the race for that.

They're saying they balked at his price.

He did meet with him for a full day, though, on Tuesday.
