Did he just play a game of rugby league? Fat f**k bludged all game. Should be the first dropped.

Pretty sure he retired mid 2012.

My tip:

NZ to flog Australia tonight. Changing of the guard incoming.

Me.

:lol:

Is that Josh Mcguire's son

Bennett needs to give it to thaiday straight and tell him his form has been shithouse for years, honestly he should barely be making the Broncos bench, yet alone the test starting side. His form went to shit the moment he had a kid, priorities change I guess.

McGuire was brilliant for Samoa and laid on a couple of tries with some beautiful ball playing, held his own against a pack with burgess twins and james graham, yet can't make the 24 man Australian squad, NSW bullshit.

Send them to bed without dinner. Dog of a performance.

Hats off to the sheep lovers though. Played that second half with plenty of intensity. Deserved winners.

Australia are going to really struggle to contain the poms pack, they have no decent props in the squad and poms will be better for the run and smell blood.

 

[MacDougall]

Jennings is a fair point, would have to be the best. Mansour maybe. The rest I don't really agree with. Cronk and Smith have higher expectations.

Cronk had no support from his men. Smith was put off by Farah and it's easy to say Woods was poor if you don't analyse it properly but you'll find the majority of NZ's dominance was when our one prop wasn't out there. Woods was serviceable in attack and in defence was our only forward that didn't get dominated in contact.

So who picked Thaiday?

So who picked Thaiday?

Reputation.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Thaiday has had some really strong games for QLD, but his club form has been so ordinary for 3 or so years now.

 

[THE CHAMP]

So who picked Thaiday?

same bloke that picked Hoffman farrah and tupou

 

[LeedsRhinos]

Sammy Burgess MOTM

James Graham is going to render one of these soft Plodstralians unconcious next week.

Mate you really need to get a life! Every comment is just a troll aimed at people on the other side of the world. I know the weather in England is shit and you can't go outside. But seriously, find a hobby.

So if Inglis is out does that mean Moylan will be getting a run? Hunt for DCE and Klemmer obviously has to come in to give some size to the middle? Yikes I'm a fan of Hunt but I think Moylan and Klemmer are a bit of a ways of international football.

I think Tupou needs to go. Not sure who will perform better out of Johnston and Mata'utia though. I'm sure Sheens was hoping to rotate players throughout the tournament thinking we'd coast but now England is a must win...

Can we draft another prop into the side? Obviously McGuire is occupied and he'd be the obvious. How about ... err ... I have no idea. Brenton Lawrence maybe?

I don't think Hunt's there yet either. Not looking good for Australia. However, Walker didn't get close to any bomb, so Moylan is at least some improvement.

Although doesn't Inglis have the flu? So you would think he is fine for next week. Unless it's ebola or something.

There no need to take out your anger at being second rate at your premier sport that the opposition don't care about, England are like get this off my tv the Premier League is on soon, the New Zealanders are like ay cuz dis aint the all blacks bro the Aussies are living and dying by their Plodderoos.

[Mig2006]

Hindsight is a wonderful thing but given Sheenius is useless regardless of when he picks the team, I would have went with the following pack. Geez we have very little depth in the prop stakes....

8. McGuire
9. Smith
10. Tolman
11. Cordner
12. Thaiday
13. Parker

14. Hunt
15. Woods
16. Klemmer
17. Bird
