[saint-colesy]

Who the f**k is Shillington?

How the f**k did Robbie Farah get picked?

How did Hoffman get picked over Ben Creagh?

Brett White...

This teams pathetic.

 

[Noa]

Thats just pathetic.

All the excitement i had for this comp is gone out the window.

Better for you in the long run, means your players will be fresh for next year and your salary-cap wont cop a hammering from bonuses.

Thats the silver lining anyway.

 

[I Bleed Green]

I must admit Shillington over Weyman and Poore is a bit surprising... not that I'm complaining!

 

[ed612313]

How did Farah get picked?????
Prob something to do with the fact hes the best attacking hooker in the game, relatively young, can tackle and can kick.
Your a tool mate
Who you want? that nothing player from the dogs??? wake up

 

[Chook Norris]

Brett White? well that'll do me..

no Ben Creagh? pathetic

 

[lifesgood]

Shillingon is a bit of a surprise. A good player but weyman and poore deserved it.. Paul fallen being picked is a f**king disgrace. Other then that I think it is a good side

 

[no name]

Who the f**k is Shillington?

How the f**k did Robbie Farah get picked?

How did Hoffman get picked over Ben Creagh?

Brett White...

This teams pathetic.

Its the ARLs new selection policy.
Throw out all form for the year, play well in a winning GF and your in.
How else would Cronk get in over Prince and Hoffman in over Creagh.

 

[westie]

It would be nice if you could give people an electric shock or something when they say something stupid. I'd like to do that to the niff nuff who doesn't seem to rate farah.

 

[Pistol]

Shillingon is a bit of a surprise. A good player but weyman and poore deserved it.. Paul fallen being picked is a f**king disgrace. Other then that I think it is a good side

i thought gallen was ruled out with injury so i wasnt too fussed but now that he's been picked, its a huge disgrace

 

[lifesgood]

Hoffman and cronk have been consistent enough allbyear.. Cronk does deserve his spot.. I think Hoffman is a shock over creagh and Glenn Stewart.. They both should be there ahead of Hoffman and gallen.. Dave Taylor is unlucky as well.. Taylor poore and weyman and shillington were all fighting for one spot.. And whilst all four are top players.. I think they picked the worse one of the four

Thats how I would line it up, except switch the worthless utility of gidley for lewis, and waterhouse in for one of hoffman or white.

 

[westie]

Stewart was absolutely useless the year Manly won, why would he be picked once the hype has died down?

 

[lifesgood]

Still a very talented side and a rep side is never picked wihout people having
problems.. The biggest issue I have is picking three utilities in cronk Lewis and gidley.. Waterhouse should of been replaced by Taylor

 

[Noa]

Wonder if Cronk will get that utility spot on the bench. He could certainly cover more positions then anyone else I think.

 

[VictorTheViking]

Calling Shillington worse than Taylor is a bit of a stretch considering that Shillington's been consistent all year and Taylor has struggled to maintain a first grade spot until he played a handful of decent games.

Other than that, theres no real suprises there, hoffman and white shouldn't be there.
