How does Gidley get selected over Farah and how do geniuss like Boyd and Morris get a wing spot over Hayne

Im cheering for the Kiwi's,hope they PWN Australia

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

This will be a massacre. Australia by as many as you like lest Gidley gets onto the field.

Gidley I can understand but Hayne? LOL.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Gidley I can understand but Hayne? LOL.

Really? Darius Boyd/Brett Morris are better wingers/playesr then Hayne? keep in mind Hayne plays for the worst rugby league team ever seen,multiply Hayne's performance by 90 if he played for a normal team

 

[kia ora storm]

Kiwis by 8...

Gidley to last 10 minutes before going off with another soft injury.

That guy is so overated but it seems that I don't need to tell anyone on here.

 

[Hutty1986]

Aussies by 14, B.Moz double

 

[MSIH]

Foz will dominate but it won't be enough with Choccy scoring a late one to snatch a win for the Aussies.

I'm sorry, but Hayne goes missing 90% of a game and only shines when Paramatta are doing well. Tonight was a perfect example. When they were on top of the Titans, he was everywhere, otherwise, he went missing.

Not exactly saying Boyd and Morris are better, however, Hayne really doesn't deserve a spot.

If Hayne went missing for 90% of a game he wouldn't have a contract/play in the NRL,he was the Eels best player tonight by far as well.

You can try and talk around it, but when Parra are bad, he switches off.

If he did however, remain switched on for the full 80, then sure, he would be one of the test wingers and I would say one of the best in the NRL.

 

[Jason Maher]

Hayne's omission is his own fault. Morris has been on fire since the start of last season. Deserves his spot.

 

[adamkungl]

lol, Hayne is a thousand times the player Boyd will ever be

 

[WaznTheGreat]

I actually take back calling Brett Morris a tard,he is a very good winger and actually impressed in game 3 of Origin last season,i now want t focus all my anger towards Boyd who is a joke of a player since he left the Dragons

Boyd over Hayne is sickening

 

[Big Pete]

I don't know how Boyd became an automatic selection. He isn't exactly a great player yet every year he gets listed.

I suppose he and GI share a strong combination and didn't muck up his chance like Hayne did in 2009.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Im still cheering for the Kiwi's despite withdrawing my Brett Morris is a tard claim

Gidley + Boyd = Im all for the bros

We got dis Dean Whare

 

[BranVan3000]

Man most of the players in this squad are turning 30 or are already there this year. Fricken Gidley is almost 31. Talk about a retirement village

 

[kdalymc]

Isn't it just the "trans Tasman test" now?

LOL who gives a shit how old they are? They get the job done. Except for Gidley, who probably doesn't understand why he keeps getting selected himself.

 

[Springbokfly]

Gidley and Boyd....what a joke
