Joey was lucky

[Crushercleal]

Not sure Joey should have been picked to replace Barrett. Look - I'd pick a fit and in-form Joey first in any NSW team, but he just doesn't have the runs on the board this year. What message does this send to a guy like Matt Orford, who has played very well this year and busted his gut to play rep footy? I'm not Joey-bashing - the guy's the best - but only with some games under his belt.

I think Orford should have had a crack.

 

[Duff]

I'm not particularly a Gower fan but surely he would have to be ahead of Orford.

 

[byso]

imo He is in the worst form for years!

 

[Canteen Worker]

No fan of Kimmorley but he is the test imcumbent and from one bad game in which his forwards didn't do the job anyway he gets the sack!!

 

[Duff]

Yeah, but look at the way the selectors pick teams. It's not generally on this years form, more to do with some ranking system they have where Joey is #1, then Kimmorley & Gower swap for second. On form I'd say Tim Smith should be there, Choc should be a starter & Danny Nutley would be QLD's first picked.

 

[ManlyBacker]

What was your first reaction CW after SOO1. Every one else's was that Noddy put in an shocker, going or no going forwards - he just had an absolute shocker. I stood up for him recently but after that performance he's goooorne.

 

[Canteen Worker]

I did not think Kimmorley played well at all and thought he should be dropped. However I do think he was unlucky.

They are going the same way QLD did when they brought Alfie back. In some ways it is what Joey will bring to the camp - confidence, big match experience etc that they are banking on.

Guy is a champion and won't let anybody down.

 

[ManlyBacker]

Agreed CW. I am really looking forward to Wed night.

 

[PEPSI]

if there was no such thing as golden point, then Kimmorely "leads NSW to an amazing fightback to force an incredible tie!"

 

[Duff]

We won the game four tries to two. The sooner goals are relegated to one point or used as secondary scoring as a means to break ties the better. QLD beat us 9 - 8 a couple of years back & we beat them on the park 2 - 0. Goals cost Kimmorley & Watmough their spots, people forget that, they just look at the scoreboard.

 

[PEPSI]

agree Duff,

 

[Duff]

Glad to see you do Pepsi. Most people just say stop whingeing & look at the scoreboard. Mindless. I have harboured these scars a long time.

 

[Dan]

the scoreline didnt cost watmough his spot

Personally I prefer the "build a bridge and get over it" theory :lol: :lol:

 

[byso]

Watmough was "apparantly" involved in pre game shinanigans with Kennedy and the biggest fool of a coach Sticky didn't like him. So he's ousted!

 

[Ryan]

I'm suprise Sherwin wasn't looked at if Anasta is 5/8.

 

[Duff]

Cheers Fro. Wanna hear the rest of the chips on my shoulders? :0

 

[c_eagle]

On form I'd say Tim Smith should be there,

Ahead of Thurston?

 

[Fro]

Yeah, but look at the way the selectors pick teams. It's not generally on this years form, more to do with some ranking system they have where Joey is #1, then Kimmorley & Gower swap for second.

Isn't Tim Smith a Qlder?

and as for your chips mate, thats your business, a bit of salt and vinegar goes well
