[NK Arsenal]

Well thank f**k for Lyon being ruled out

 

[The Colonel]

He plays in the backrow for the Panthers... and is actually a very decent backrower. He is a great defender and he seems to do better in attack then he did in the centres.

If he wasn't playing backrow for Panthers, he would be playing lock or 5/8. Although i don't think he has played enough games this season to have earned a spot. If he had played the entire season... definitely give it to him.

I have seen him play backrow but again as you have said he hasn't played that many games this season to really be considered. I still think he is a centre though and would be surprised to see the Rabbits play him anywhere else next year.

Surely there are other backrowers available for City.

Well thank f**k for Lyon being ruled out

Agreed tbh. Hate him.

Chris Lawrence extremely unlucky.

No just not good enough in defence. A couple of his misses yesterday were appalling.

Have you seen Luke Rooney play this year? Lawrence is actually scoring tries.....

yeah got no probs with the fact Rooney has been sh*t, just saying Lawrence doesn't deserve to be rewarded for piss poor defence. He might be scoring tries but he is contributing to the opposition scoring too. Lawrence will have his day, but he just isn't ready yet. As for Rooney, well i'm not going to try and defend the indefensible.

 

[NK Arsenal]

Agreed tbh. Hate him.

who in there right mind wouldn't tbh.

he is a useless fat f**k.

and the fact that you're a city fan and you're happy that he's ruled says a lot about the merkin

I think you can reward him as a winger rather than as a centre. His defence leaves something to be desired but he knows his way to the try line and can actually turn and chase.

 

[kia ora storm]

Luke Rooney getting selected is puzzling...he used to be a good finisher and I have not seen a lot recently to justify this ??.

Pomeroy deserves his selection as does Kearney.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Country, 2 front rowers and 6 backrowers selected ?????

 

[Chook Norris]

Jason King is out

Prop Jason King has been ruled out of the NSW City side for Friday's clash with NSW Country in Wollongong.
The Manly front-rower was scratched at Monday morning's medical with an ankle injury suffered in Saturday's win over the Bulldogs.
Parramatta's Chad Robinson has been called into the squad with a decision yet to be made on who will replace King in the run-on side.

Chad Robinson is in

 

[Hutty1986]

Agreed tbh. Hate him.

Join the club.

That useless fat turd shouldn't be anywhere near a Blues jersey ever again

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

well done to brett kearney.

 

[Timmah]

Bulldogs hooker Corey Hughes was given the green light to play in Friday's NSW City-Country Origin match with the Country rake side-stepping a charge for his late hit on Sea Eagles halfback Matt Orford.

Does that mean Monaghan and Quinn will move into the centres?

 

[Timmah]

[Timmah]
