Stuart now a Shark, Kimmorly will be a Kangaroo

How fitting, Stuart joins the Sharks as the halfback position for the Australian side becomes available this year due the representative retirement of Johns. Who happens to be the halfback for the Sharks? Brett Kimmorly to our less learned friends. Just as it seems the position could become available to the exciting young prospect in Jonathon Thurston to call his own (which it should for this up and coming tri nation series) I'd bet that Kimmorly joins the ranks in the coming year seeing that Stuart is the coach of the Australian side. There has been much talk about the rift between the two dating back to the 2004 State of Origin series. I foresee this to be magically repaired as there is no way that Stuart would want the likes of Thurston to wear the hallowed No. 7 jumper that was once his. Even though the halves combination of Thurston and Lockyer has already proven to be successful (see result of 2006 State of Origin series) I can not see Thurston retaining the position for any length of time if Stuart has anything to do with it.
