[Disco]

ha we have two threads that are a reverse of each other

 

[willstyles]

Thompson? Is that Lance or Troy? Either way....what the f*ck? Lance is a second-rower, and Troy is ordinary. I suppose O'Meley is out because of his injuries etc, but is there noone else? Honestly?

Orford did not deserve selection and has been rightfully left out. Not that Gower deserved selection either mind you....

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Is big Lance. His battle with Fitzgibbon will be a highlight haha

How over-rated is Hayne.

 

[willstyles]

Fair dinkum? It's Lance Lance? Napper will have a f*cking heart attack when he hears the news.

How robbed must Glenn feel? Can't even get a bench gig.

And Pomeroy?! Seriously!!! He's hopeless.

 

[Fluffy]

glenn should have been there, glad brett stewart finally got rewarded

 

[SilentBob]

Is Matt Cooper injured?

 

[fLIP]

I could name Glen ahead of about 6 of those blokes.

Sometimes I wonder if selectors watch the footy.

 

[KaZa]

oh dear. Blues? Goooorne.

 

[DSM5]

Couldn't make a blues winning team from both sides. Anasta, Hayne? Didn't anyone watch the Slime go down today? Why pick Tahu? he's of to rugby? WTF. Poor selections all round.

 

[fLIP]

I would personally go for this team. I'd like to see Orford get the job at halfback but he seems to be struggling after his ankle injury.

[Garts]

Not bad Flip, however I would go Tahu or Mini over Elmasri on the wing.

 

[Canteen Worker]

9 NSW players were in the test team - they were not considered for this game. Most of the test pack are with us - we are not without hope.

surely we wont go with Kimmorley.. Orford might choke but Kimmorley is an even bigger choke :S

 

[Matabele]

Ha! This will give Orford some incentive to lift his game for us.

 

[CliffyIsGod]

Did anyone watch Gower do nothing but drop the ball against the Raiders?

 

[Fluffy]

Ha! This will give Orford some incentive to lift his game for us.

i hope so but i see it like last year when he played poor until he was 100% over his injury.

 

[clontaago]

Reece Williams in for Maitua

 

[Fluffy]

he has been playing well - have him in my vrl team and he has picked up a few bonus tries, easily my best forward
