'12 | VB Test | Fri | NZ 12-20 AUS | Eden Park

[Spud]

Actually surprised Parker and Hayne didn't get the nod. Taylor and Boyd lol

 

[Juju]

Tamou is so kiwi he will probably join in with the haka...

 

[Spud]

Tamou is as Aussie as Russell Crowe, Crowded House and Pavlova. Don't know what you are talking about Juju

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Boyd is the only one who doesn't deserve to be there IMO. Strong side.

 

[Ladmate]

Hopefully Johnson and Marshall partner in the halves. They will be an exciting combination, just put an experienced head in the 9 jumper.

 

[Patorick]

Tamou is as Aussie as Russell Crowe, Crowded House and Pavlova. Don't know what you are talking about Juju

What do Gerard Beale, Nathan Fien, Josh Hoffman, Sam McKendry, Jason Nightingale and Frank Pritchard have in common?

 

[Spud]

As kiwi as Dave Dobyn:sarcasm:

 

[Grapple]

Really thought Proctor and Duffie would be there over Blair and Beale.

 

[Juju]

What do Gerard Beale, Nathan Fien, Josh Hoffman, Sam McKendry, Jason Nightingale and Frank Pritchard have in common?

I'm not making a judgement on the Australian selectors - rather Tamou himself.
Born in Palmerston North, NZ Maori rep (and proud maori), saying mere weeks ago he wanted to pull on the black jersey.
Now being swayed by the NSW jersey and having to face the haka.
What a sell out and he bet he will be having very mixed feelings right now...

 

[Hutty1986]

Australia by 14. Boyd extremely lucky to be there. I'm sure Tamou could care less about the same deadsh*ts who acted so disgracefully against quade cooper

 

[Fast Eddie]

He's got money on his mind, mind on the money.

 

[skeepe]

Boyd, Taylor and Shillington are weak links...bring it on I say.

Cherry-Evans will get targeted as well...

Shillington is currently the best prop in the NRL currently. Second best if you count Gallen as a prop.

 

[umina panther]

Shillington is currently the best prop in the NRL currently. Second best if you count Gallen as a prop.

Better then Matt Scott? Really?

 

[Smooth Operator • • •]

Benji Marshall and Shaun Johnson. There's an attacking highlights reel right there.

Seeing as there is no actual line-up, heres my stab.

Josh Hoffman
Jason Nightingale
Gerard Beale
Shaun Kenny-Dowall
Manu Vatuvei
Benji Marshall (c)
Shaun Johnson
Jared Waerea-Hargreaves
Isaac Luke
Ben Matulino
Alex Glenn
Simon Mannering
Jeremy Smith

Nathan Fien
Jesse Bromwich
Frank Pritchard
Jason Taumalolo
Adam Blair (reserve)
Sam McKendry (reserve)

 

[kia ora storm]

Shillington is currently the best prop in the NRL currently. Second best if you count Gallen as a prop.

Sure...still a weak link IMO.

 

[skeepe]

Better then Matt Scott? Really?

On this season's form, yes.

Shillington's averaging somewhere in the region of 150m per game.

 

[skeepe]

Sure...still a weak link IMO.

He ended up dominating the same forwards just two weeks ago, not sure how that makes him a weak link.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Beale instead of matai??

 

[hybrid_tiger]

I think Matai is injured (again). Surprise surprise.

 

[Shorty]

Yeah Kiwis will sure show Tamou....giving him the frowning of a life time and losing by 20 points.
