Anything to worry about you feel?
In general that's right, but there are certainly times when selection can provide a huge boost to a player, and their game can go to a higher level as a result.Aetna said:If Anthony Watmough is out injured, Glen Stewart suspended & T-Rex due to lack match fitness are not in the NSW team it will be good for Manly.
They wouldn't be playing for Manly anyway & they will be more fresh & rested for Manly. The State of Origin takes it out of you physically & mentally. By the back end of the season you are drained & injury prone.
Manly players could do with Mrs Hopoate special drink during State of Origin time.
I love watching the Manly boys being selected to play for their State & Country. The only problem is that it's the supporters, members, bosses & coaches get penalized.SeaEagleRock8 said:In general that's right, but there are certainly times when selection can provide a huge boost to a player, and their game can go to a higher level as a result.Aetna said:If Anthony Watmough is out injured, Glen Stewart suspended & T-Rex due to lack match fitness are not in the NSW team it will be good for Manly.

This year could be a good year to get picked for the Blues, surely they will win at last (law of averages) and if so the players involved will all be on a high for the rest of the year. Don't forget, at elite level the mental aspect is crucial.
Gift shouldn't be suspended anyway.
