Ando officially loses it

[Parki]

Thats it ive officially lost patience with Ando, hes drafted DARREN SMITH, a second rate washed up has been centre into the squad to replace the injured Phil Bailey, who was ruled out of the remainder of the test series this morning. In what is an absolute kick in the guts to any centre in the NRL competition, he will probably get the nod ahead of players such as Luke Lewis who were ACTUALLY SELECTED in the test squad.....Ando, youve officially lost the plot son, I thought the decision to put the second best hooker in the world in the centres was stupid, but this decision takes the cake......

It is not just up to Anderson to decide on who is picked to replace injured players

Do you want them just to fly over 1 player for a few games.

What is a kick in the guts is for De Vere to be over looked for a centre spot & it was given to Wing.

Granted Wing played a fantastic game the other night. But he does not play centre in the NRL.

Darren Smith would have been put on stand by because he's already over there. Not an Ideal way of picking a centre for a test match though I agree.

Neither Wing nor Bailey should have been in the centres.

Lewis/Hegarty should have been one(put the other on the wing)

Devere should have been the other.

The whole Australian show is a shamble at the moment. The Australian Rugby League team hit new lows this morning when Darren Smith was braught into the team.

Next thing you'll hear is that he was put in the team because the ARL couldn't afford to fly a player out because of the Pokie Tax and Smith was already stationed in the UK.

Anderson if I were you I would stay over there, your going to get your ass terminated at the Sharks the minute you step off the plane anyway.

If they can call up Darren Smith why not get old Alby (Darren Albert) to have a run.

One of St. Helens best players for the last 3 seasons and also close by.

Because Albert will never be good enough to wear the Green & Gold. :evil:

I must admit to being gobsmacked when Wing was selected there, as it turned out Wing was a good choice. Bailey has been playing OK at centre almost all year for the Sharks, so that was a reasonable enough call, I agree though I thought De Vere would've got a look in before Wing.

seriously, wasnt there ANYbody else they could come up with???

 

[~bedsy~]

Yeah I thought that was a stupid thing to do... Expecially seeing as he has other players such as DeVere and Lewis, and Sing... It's just another stupid thing the man has done.

 

[Danish Moo Cow]

A 35 year old, huh? Looks like Antonius still has hope.

 

[astrogirl]

Looks like tonight's the night that Anderson must front up to the Sharks board.

Interestingly the article says that Anderson has overwhelming support among the players.

The players will have to say that publicly in case the board keeps him. Bad mouthing you coach in public isn't a good thing to do.

Agreed razor. Guess I am a bit taken aback by the use of the word "overwhelming"
