Brett, kudos on the Quo reference. The power of the sponsorship dollar was alive and well yesterday. Funny thing is, it would have been more meaningful as both a selection and a marketing exercise if it was done post this week's games.

He is in form and I think would give the team more options if he was there instead of North. That and it is time for Ferguson to step in for Hussey.
