REP TEAMS

[codewana]

Yeah, I know what you're saying.

I just don't think the risk is worth the reward. Rather have Manly playing for Manly during the SOO weeks than for either NSW or QLD. For me, a representative victory is our boys come out unscathed.

It does make a mockery of the City/Country game when T-Rex gets picked...surely there is a city born No.11 going better then Tony. :huh:

Hopefully that pic will work of the Samoa and Tonga squads

 

[Garts]

Gidley??? I can only assume he has a photo book of every coach with Dessie's goat or he he gives a mean BJ.

 

[Eagles2nv]

Good luck to the Manly boys. I hope they do well.

But more importantly hopefully they pull through without injury to smash the wabbits in 2 weeks.

 

[The Who]

This is supposed to be a trial, right, to pick promising players who may be good enough to represent NSW?
So why would they pick Mason?

 

[manlyfan76]

Why would they pick Ennis?

Michael Oldfield in the Tongan squad?

 

[wombatgc]

He had to become an islander to get signed by the Bro-sters.

[Brookie]

anyone know what the go is with Matai?
said he was not going to play for NZ as he wanted to represent Samoa but isn't in either team?

 

[MissKate]

Could get a bit confusing with Sam Moa playing for the Tongans

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

anyone know what the go is with Matai?
said he was not going to play for NZ as he wanted to represent Samoa but isn't in either team?

Brad Walter said on the radio last night that although Matai has stated that he still hasn't lodged the paperwork

So could this have meant that he could have been picked for NZ? Surely his form is good enough to walk into the team. And I guess Whare is there as a utility for the backs as he can play wing, centre or fullback?

Snake playing with a hamstring problem...hopefully week off will help him
