I expect something similar to the last test we played - the selections will be interesting tonight for Australia though.

[Big Pete]

Kite and Webb for mine are the big shocks - however I'm content with those players.

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

That is disgraceful. Carl Webb was terrible last night and Brent Kite has been non-existant.

 

[Hoggy]

Dallas Johnson anyone?

 

[hineyrulz]

Dallas Johnson anyone?

Or Laffranci and Thiaday. Webb and Kite they have be kidding themselves..

 

[Dazzat]

The selection of Gallen before Laffranchi is a disgrace. The message from the selectors: We prefer thugs over quality.

 

[Lowdown]

Congrats Billy Slater - well deserved...and good to see selectors can not ignore form, even if a blind man could have seen how good he was playing.

Kite...ROFL!!

Webb...LOL!

Very lucky indeed.

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

Im not going to argue with Greg Bird at lock, but Laffranci should be in for Gallen. I dont know who I would put in for Kite and Webb, but Thiaday, Myles and Hannant are all ahead of Kite and Webb.

This side stinks of Ricky Stuart.

 

[Maroon and White]

hahaha which clowns voted for NZ?

I voted for NZ. I just can't bring myself to cheer for Slater, Inglis, Folau, Cameron Smith et al (wa#kers)

GO THE KIWIS!!!! I never thought that I would say that

 

[lotti]

Billy must be beside himself but well deserved, playing for Australia reportedly is his dream.

 

[Maroon and White]

I went for NZ. I just can't bring myself to cheer for Slater, Folau, Cameron Smith, Inglis (the Kempsey Qldr) What a bunch of wan#ers!!

GO THE KIWIS!!! I never thought I would ever say that!

 

[Maroon and White]

Billy must be beside himself but well deserved, playing for Australia reportedly is his dream.

I am soooo touched!!

 

[scuzzi]

OMG Carl Webb got selected. What is going on?

 

[lotti]

the selectors must be blind to his faults, I can't believe it Slater got selected of course he had to be after his recent form but hopefully the QLD selectors will take note of this.
