00:00Darcy Graham's had a bit of injury issues and Kyle Rowe looked decent in the chances

00:10he got in the Six Nations, so I think we might see probably, it's quite a tough choice because

00:16we know what Darcy Graham's capable of, but I think Kyle Rowe maybe gets the nod against

00:20Fiji.

00:21Then again, you're a Sail Sharks fan, Phil, so maybe you could tell us a little bit about

00:29Aaron Reid. What do you make of him?

00:33Aaron Reid is pint-sized gas. It's quite unusual, because it's quite interesting itself, because

00:38we tend to play him on one wing and then Tom Roebuck on the other wing. Actually, Tom Roebuck's

00:42actually just left the England squad, but they're very different players in as much

00:45as Roebuck's a big, tall player, not quite as stacked as Doohan, but he's in a similar

00:50sort of build. He's good in the air, wins high balls. Reidy is just about a five-foot

00:55and a fag packet, but he's absolutely like greased lightning. He goes round people for

00:59fun. He reminds me a little bit of Jason Robinson. He doesn't have Billy Wizards' kind of Vulcan

01:04ability to knock people down in a tackle, but he steps off both feet, he catches a ball,

01:09and he makes fantastic tries out of nothing. He's an X-factor player. I hope he does get

01:14his chance, like you say, if not in the big games, then maybe in the middle game, but

01:19he is one to watch, and I think if you get him a chance, a little bit of space, and by

01:24a little bit of space, I mean about two or three inches, he will absolutely step people

01:28and then burn them on the outside. So, real prospect, I think.
