[Eelpout]

When are the teams announced?

 

[This Year?]

City Country is touted as an Origin trial but is more or less used a promo for NRL in the country areas. What a shame to lose it though.

 

[Panther_Daz]

City has delayed the naming of their team as they can only come up with 15 players.

 

[jonno_knights]

Maybe they should let some knights play for City seeing none got a run for country (except Tariq sims, according to news.com.au)

 

[Timmah]

Teams announced

 

[jonno_knights]

Teams announced

Well looks like they listened!

Didnt know Ross qualified for City, but reading his profile he has moved around a bit following his old man who played for Penrith, Rabbits and Gold Coast.

 

[Caped Crusader]

City are turning out 3 reserve graders lol

 

[Incorrect]

So is Number 12 for City David Gower from Wenty Magpies in the NSW ISC? Or David Gower the retired English cricket captain?

Seious question.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

sele?

really?

 

[Bazal]

City are turning out 3 reserve graders lol

Between injuries, clubs barring players (and the NRL being too gutless to stop them), and the reluctance to pick blokes who will be in the NSW side they didn't have a lot of options....

Just from Parra alone Nathan Brown and Tepai Moeroa would be there if not for a niggling injury and a concussion respectively.

The NRL wanted this game dead, and they've certainly killed it with their approach to this final one

 

[Rhino_NQ]

how many clubs have canned it now?

 

[ACTPanthers]

Tamou?? What a f**king joke

 

[isaiah]

City has delayed the naming of their team as they can only come up with 15 players.

So was is sele and Pauli the desperate selections?

 

[thommo4pm]

So was is sele and Pauli the desperate selections?

Marketo is really clutching at straws.
At least Sele has played first grade this year.

Jacob Host would be a better choice than Marketo.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Is Crichton a city boy?

 

[Jimmy-o]

Is Crichton a city boy?

Crichton was born in Temora and played juniors in Young, so Country.

 

[ed-grimley]

It will still be a a more entertaining game than the test.

 

[GongPanther]

City to beat Cntry by 16.

 

[kalebbland]

My predictions:
Score: Country 8-42 City
Crowd: 6,729
