It makes this City/Country fixture embarressing selecting Lewis in the second row, Corey Hughes at hooker, and Luke Rooney, I mean WTF, have they watched him lately at Penrith. They might as well pick Grothe on the other wing.
Had Watmough and Farah been fit they wouldve easily walked in the City side, but I believe Collis, Lawrence and even Turner are very unlucky cause a guy like Rooney got selected.
Had the Australian test been scheduled after Origin, Gallen and Hoffman would be City 2nd rowers. Thats why this game should always be the first rep fixture of the season.
Corey Hughes, well he's not that good, but I guess they couldnt find anyone else. De Gios? maybe I dunno.
Ennis I think is a county boy. Buderus has been in real good form and deserved selection.
Cant argue with the Country side too much, that back row is real good.
Wouldnt suprise me however if Sheens started with Mateo at lock, moved Sutton into second row.
