[Macca]

Pfffft, Noddy has just outplayed Orford twice in 24 hours. There is no way you could pick him over Noddy or Gower.

Bailey is injured so forget him.

Matt Cooper won't be picked in front of Matt Gidley.

Skandalis, Morrison, O'Hara and Ryan are all outsiders and would be lucky to get a run through injuries to players like Kennedy, Stevens, O'Meley, Ryles, Fitzgibbon, the list extends in to the abyss.

:shock: wow two good games from nobby..oops i mean noddy this yr geez that impressive, Matt orford has not had a bad game for the past two seasons....Skandalis, Morrison, Ryan & O'Hara are the form forwards at the moment.
if kennedy, fitzgibbon and ryles make it it would be an insult. Stevens should stick to playing with the sharks and nothing more.

matt cooper would be in the top 3 centres in the game at the moment...gidley is good, but not GOOD ENOUGH FOR REP FOOTY

Kennedy anf Fitzgibbon are certainties if fit - Fitzgibbon is especially important because of goal kicking. And Stevens deserves to be in the squad, whether he deserves to make the 17 is questionable, I think O'Hara and O'Meley should be there with Clinton. Ryles is a super player, but hasn't had enough playing time for mine.

People keep saying Gidley's not up to it, but rep teams have seldom struggled because he's there - I'd have Gidley and Cooper, but Gidley and Gasnier would be fine too - either way Gidley is NSW's no 1 centre. The terrible selection is Ryan Cross - he should be nowhere near a rep team!!!
