Rep Selections

[Killer03]

First of all congrats to all who made rep selection.

For Australia - Cherry (well deserved and Cronk must be just having sleepless nights thinking about DCE looming large)
For NZ - Hiku
For City - Buhrer, Jorge

Good time for a rest, however 1 question. Is Choc being asked to by Lozza to be exempt from City/Country or did he just not get selected? No issue if that's the case, I think the Stewarts and Choc shouldn't play City/Country, its more for the fringe players (imo) who are pushing for Origin selection, but just intrigued about Choc.

Choc should be a cert for NSW. I think snake is an outside chance, remember he was Daleys first choice last year before he got injured. The Blues need his ability to put an opposition back line under pressure on those sweeping plays because we won't get anything from our halves.

Also Lui and JSL selected for Samoa

Why didn't mattai make NZ?

 

[Masked Eagle]

Its a very ordinary Country team selected.

 

[Crusher_Cleal]

Pretty happy only DCE, Hiku and Jorge involved. Could have been worse.

 

[MWSE]

Darius Boyd's continued selection bewilders me. The biggest passenger to ever pull on an Australian jersey.

 

[HappilyManly]

Boyd was truly pathetic in the last few games. As someone has said, he must have the goat photos :dodgy:

 

[MadMarcus]

Why didn't mattai make NZ?

He has declared his allegiance to Samoa, so he won't play for NZ any more.

 

[EagleFromMay1967]

All MWSE players should declare themselves unavailable for SOO en-masse in an open letter of protest regarding refereeing, selections, 10 yr one club cap exemptions, and last year's GF Embarrassment !

Why didn't mattai make NZ?

He has declared his allegiance to Samoa, so he won't play for NZ any more.

and the reason he didn't get picked for Samoa was because of injury

Just saw that Trex made the City Side :huh:

 

[MadMarcus]

T-Rex has been going pretty well this year from what I have seen (which is admittedly not that much).

Can't understand how Hayne misses out, even more so when Tate gets called in as 18th man

Is there an injury i have missed here ?

Can't understand how Hayne misses out, even more so when Tate gets called in as 18th man

Is there an injury i have missed here ?

YES. Hayne was ruled out because of a shoulder injury.

Thanx mate that explains it then !! Haven't seen a lot of footy this year and missed that one

who is this 'sea eagles' team you write of? -John Grant

 

[HappilyManly]

These are two Teams in the media constantly - Hawks with ASADA and Seagulls with Grand Final Frequent Flyer Points.

How one prepares for a International Announcement without proof reading 36 names is beyond me :s

Surprised that he didn't mispronounce the City as Syderney, like that old git from the Olympics 😛
