[SP]

i'll have my 2cents worth

1. Minichello
2. Tahu/Devere/Rooney
3. Lewis
4. Gidley
5. Rooney/Devere/Tahu
6. Gower/Orford
7. Gower/Orford
8. Clinton
9. Buderus
10. L Bailey
11. N Hindmarsh
12. Waterhouse
13. Timmins

 

[Poider]

Here's my 2 bobs worth for the QLD team:

1) Shifcoske
2) Walker
3) Hodges
4) Berrigan
5) Tate
6) Lockyer (c)
7) McGuire/ Seymour
8) Webcke
9) Smith
10) Civenoceva
11) Crocker
12) Carlaw
13) Norton

14) Flannery
15) Price
16) Ross
17) Bowman

There's great versatility in the team and I'd use Bowman in the second row if there's an injury and you could swap Berrigan to halfback, bowman in centres if the number 7 stuffs up.

 

[thuganomics]

:lol: Poider, WALKER

 

[Poider]

Well i picked walker on his try scoring abilities and his form, the team that i picked are all form players and versatility incase of injury like last yr

17. Thompson

Girdler and Ricketson Retired from Rep Footy. I think Barrets a better option at 5/8 since he plays in that postion and Orford is a natural Halfback.

 

[Twizzle]

Its going to be hard to keep Eric Grothe jnr out of the rep sides this year, as he is one of the form wingers at the moment.

 

[Macca]

Eric Grothe Jnr? He did score a fantastic try against the Sharks, a try not many players can produce but what happened to him after that? He did fug all other than drop the ball. He certainly has the potential to be the best winger in the world but he seems to lack the desire. I'd love to see him running over the top of Queenslanders but at this stage I need to see a bit more consistency at club level.

Here are the sides I think THEY will pick.

NSW

1. Minichiello
2. Tahu
3. Gidley
4. Timmins
5. De Vere
6. Barrett
7. Gower (C)
8. Bailey
9. Buderus
10. Clinton
11. Hindmarsh
12. Kennedy
13. Waterhouse

14. Mason
15. Wing
16. Fitzgibbon
17. O'Meley

QLD

1. R. Wesser
2. Sing
3. Hodges
4. Tate
5. Heggarty
6. Lockyer (C)
7. Berrigan
8. Webcke
9. Smith
10. Civoniceva
11. Price
12. Carlaw
13. Norton

14. Flannery
15. Crocker
16. Carroll
17. Parker

 

[Twizzle]

He's done that aboot 4 weeks in a row, McSharkie.

He consistently hits the ball up for good metres.

Have you seen any other Eels games ?

 

[Macca]

Yes. Mate I have seen em all except for the Manly game which I listened to on the radio. I am not denying his ability mate. He goes missing though. You can't do that in SOO. He is having a better year this year but I can't pick him over the current Australian wingers on his form this year. If Tahu is still injured then maybe.

 

[Earl]

This side would be unbeatable;

1. Anthony Minichiello
2. Eric Grothe
3. Matt King
4. Matt Cooper
5. Luke Lewis
6. Trent Barrett
7. Craig Gower (c)
8. Luke Bailey
9. Danny Buderus
10. Joel Clinton
11. Nathan Hindmarsh
12. Craig Fitzgibbon
13. Ben Kennedy

14. Shaun Timmins
15. Trent Waterhouse
16.
17. Craig Wing

I'm stuck for another foward :?

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :?

 

[skandofan]

Skandalis HAS to be picked...........its ridiculous if he's not he so much of a better forward than Joel Clinton and O'Meley, lol, he doesnt even come into it

Skandalis is sitting on 7 Dally M points above below players Timmins, Gower and Clinton so how can he not be picked- he's also the best forward in one of the strongest packs in The NRL- the Tigers- which includes Sattler and Nick Graham.

Therefore the Blues should be-


1. Minichiello
2. Tahu
3. Gidley
4. Timmins
5. De Vere
6. Barrett
7. Gower (C)
8. Bailey
9. Buderus
10. Skandalis
11. Hindmarsh
12. Kennedy
13. Waterhouse

14. Mason
15. Wing
16. Fitzgibbon
17. Clinton
