Matai & Foran made the Kiwi side

 

[Fluffy]

No King or Kite, we got off easy

assuming Foran and Matai are in NZ so its 8 out plus 3 injuries

 

[Fluffy]

no Soward??

not a drag queens fan but soward had to be in city country

 

[eggson]

Does that mean Lyon vs Matai or Inglis vs Matai?

And assuming Matai and Foran are picked that's what, 8 Manly and i think 4 Dragons?  Great....
Lyon, Matai, Foran, Robbo, Hodkinson and possibly Stewart to play 80 mins.

Ouch

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Matai left and Lyon right will be the matchup I think

 

[Jethro]

8 players in total from Manly in the Rep Sides:

Lyon.............Australia
Watmough.....Australia
Perry............Australia
Robertson......Country
Stewart........Country
Hodkinson......City
Foran............New Zealand
Matai............New Zealand

I hope that they back up alright for Manly after the completion of the Rep games.

 

[Fluffy]

would expect all bar perry to backup barring injueries/niggles

 

[Dan]

We are looking VERY skinny next week. Maybe I shouldn't go tobrhe game

 

[Berkeley_Eagle]

Perry WTF, he looked lazy today

 

[Garts]

So we have 8 and they have 5!!!  Will be a tough ask to win this game, im just praying for no injuries!!!! 

 

[Utility Player]

Big George might be back for us as well.

 

[Matabele]

Congrats to Hodgkinson on a rep jumper so early in his career.  Says a bit about the NSW half stocks though. 

I would expect Kite and King will get asked to step in for injuries somewhere along the line. 

The usual crap where the Dragons are not asked the share the representative load.  City Country is a farce anyway, should be scrapped.

City Country is OK, why it is on the same weekend as the test though, I don't know. If they want to have 3 rep teams chosen they should give everyone the weekend off and play the rep games so as not to affect the comp as much as it does at the moment.

Agreed Mata. Hodko will have another feather in his cap to go with his QLD Residents Halfback honours from last year whilst playing for the Sunshine Coast Sea Eagles.

City Country dates from when the main comp was the Sydney (city) comp and all the good players were drawn to that comp. It gave the bushies a chance to show their wares and every now and then someone came from that match into a state or test jumper. Now it is an anchronism. No-one gets picked except players already in the NRL and they can be assessed without putting on this match.

It is a lame token gesture which does not cover up the dreadful neglect of the governing bodies towards bush footy. Independent commision where are you?

I don't understand how the new non-independant. (it's not independant - it's a consortium of current clubs from how I understand it) would put more into the bush or invest in new clubs etc.
