Didn't know Cliffy was in contention.

By the way it's Cliff Lyons
and Jamie Lyon... not Lyons

 

[mwsneagle]

My bad... did love watching Cliffy though.  😉

Great that's all we need on the top of Bretts injury, losing Killer and Kite as well for Origin. Does anybody think they will actually pick Jamie ?? How long is Cooper out for ? If he is fit they'll go with him for sure, as he seems to have a mortgage on one spot. Actually does he play the same side as Jamie ?? If he does than that'll save Jamie.

they named Brett too I heard on 2gb

Lyon will get picked and have to train with the Blues, but be selected as 18th man and miss both club and origin games. 

But it's just a 40man squad, no need to raise alarm bells.

I keep reading the 18th man stuff, I can't recall 1 time that the 18th man has missed a club match, they normally join the squad after the weekend

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

No Anasta or Soward must mean Campese v Sutton for the 6

 

[DSM5]

Sutton is absolutely hopeless.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Actually I forgot Mullen, he is more likely than Sutton

 

[Chip and Chase]

Campese 5/8, Mullen 1/2

Notable omissions are Wing and Heighnington. No Hindmarsh, Fitzgerbil or Mason is a God send, let's hope it means their rep careers are dead and buried

Team representation:

Sea Eagles 8
Dragons 4
Knights 4
Bulldogs 3
Panthers 3
Raiders 3
Titans 3
Tigers        3
Rabbitohs 2
Sharks 2
Storm 2
Cowboys 1
Eels         1
Roosters 1

Did I miss something.  Are Manly on top of the comp?

 

[Nutzcraw]

Not top of the comp but have great players.

So good to see Mason left out.... I'm deadset sick of him playing for the blues. Now to get Hoffman off that list.

We are premiers of course we'll have a big contigency... can't believe Jarryd Hayne got picked!
