Hazem El Masri

[Razor]

I've heard different reasons on why he wasn't picked in the Roo squad. Was wondering which was correct.

I heard that since the Roo tour was on the same time as the Meditarainian Cup he couldn't represent both Lebanon & Australia, and he would rather play for Lebanon than Australia

I also heard on a different radio station that he would rather play for Australia, but wasn't picked in the Australian squad.

I think he should be made to choose one or the other full stop.

i think he wasnt picked because he cant play for sh!te and we had plenty of goal kickers

Considering Sing and Minichiello should be the first choice for wing positions- I don't know why he'd have needed to be looked at. Even Tahu and Lewis are probably better wingers for the Kangaroo style of play. El Masri's a great goal-kicker, but he's not much of a winger.

Personally I think he should just be eligible for Lebanon. In the same vein it irritated me that Tuqiri could play for Australia and Fiji. One or the other.

although i won't be as blunt, Savage is essentially correct. You have to be able to do more than dive on grubber kicks in order to be regarded as one of the better wingers in the competition.

Big Daryll just kicked goals, atleast no one thought more of him than that.

Hazem is a good player but not Kangaroo material if you know what i mean.
