I can't see Blair playing off the bench, he will be centre when Campese is fit (1st game), then stand off for the rest of the season.

Stan I hope you are trying to be being jovial rather than trying to make a serious point.

Terry Campese played 19 NRL games in 2014 despite being dropped when available for selection for the final 5 rounds. He played 17 NRL games in 2013. His horror injury seasons were 2011 & 2012.

The big issue with Campese isn't his current state of health it is whether he can ever be the player he was prior to his run of injuries of 2011 and 2012.

Any player can get injured at any time but your implication that Campese will inevitably be injured from round 1 or soon after is nothing more than self indulgent mischief making.

Terry Campese is a gamble of course. Even the very best players - and he does fall into that category -rarely fall into decline and than come back better than ever. That's a serious question mark. But not your ridiculous suggestion that immediate season ending injury is inevitable.

I am liking laughing at Stan's pessimism, although I do share it with less fervour.

Mainly I like laughing at Stan because he invariably has the upper hand on me.

He has really greasy hair though and a lisp.

And I have great hair, possibly beyond great.
