Aussie Quad Nations Team

[the kirwan kid]

I think they are picking 24 players so Here's my team:

1. Billy Slater (Fullback)
2. Hayne (wing/fullback)
3. Greg Inglis (centre/wing/fullback)
4. Justin Hodges (centre)
5. Israel Folau (wing/centre)
6. Darren Lockyer (5/8)
7. Johnathan Thurston (half, 5/8)
8. Petero Civoniceiva (prop)
9. Cameron Smith (hooker)
10. Ben Hannant (Prop)
11. Nathan Hindmarsh (2nd row)
12. Anthony Watmough (2nd row, lock)
13. Luke O'Donnell (2nd row, lock)
14. Sam Thaiday (2nd row, prop)
15. Brett White (Prop)
16. Ben Creagh (2nd row, lock)
17. David Stagg (utility, back row)
18. Kurt Gidley (utility, back up hooker)
19. Scott Prince (back up half, 5/8)
20. Darius Boyd (fullback/wing) - happy if they went with one of the Morris also.
21. Matthew Scott (prop, 2nd row)
22. Luke Bailey, Michael Weyman or Justin Poore - one of these has to go but I can't split them
23. Ashley Harrison (2nd row, lock, utility)
24. Dave Taylor (prop, 2nd row, centre) - one for the future but would be happy enought osee one of Bailey, Weyman or Poor take his spot.

Really struggled with the props. I like Bailey, Weyman & Poore but they've also come up short in a few big matches this year at different times. Didn't really want Gidley there but I think he covers a lot of spots and the NSW contingent will push for him.

[saint-colesy]

The idea of Brett White and Matt Scott playing for Australia is a f**king disgrace

 

[watatank]

Matt Scott is a good player. Brett White on the other hand....

 

[1999]

regardless of wat people think, melbourne and parra are going to be rewarded with high representation, my smokies are tolman johnson grothe and hinmarsh

 

[hellteam]

I don't think Hindmarsh will make it, he's past it at rep level, should just stick to helping Parra finally win a premiership.

[hellteam]

I'm happy with that exact squad Mr Angry, although I think Taylor will be in the top 17 on the bench (instead of Weyman/Poore/Thaiday)

 

[munge]

cooper cronk should b picked as back up utility (can play da role of da backup hooker for smithy, half , five eigth)

 

[Mr Angry]

Hindmarsh need shoulder surgery, won't be available.

 

[Hanscholo]

Cronk will be in the squad. It would be a rip off if he was dudded out of the Clive Churchill, then over looked for the australian squad with a display which quite frankly made the likes of thurston look second rate....

 

[JasonE]

When is it announced ?

 

[bartman]

regardless of wat people think, melbourne and parra are going to be rewarded with high representation, my smokies are tolman johnson grothe and hinmarsh

The only Parra player that will make it imo is Hayne.

Hindmarsh requires shoulder surgery, and Grothe carries a recurrent back problem and has not been exactly keen for off-season rep duty in the past.

I'd imagine it's named on Tuesday night, once the dust settles from yesterday?

 

[wittyfan]

Wolfman should be in the mix somewhere imo.

And Quad Nations? Who's the 4th team?

 

[Panther_Daz]

And Quad Nations? Who's the 4th team?

France.

 

[skeepe]

Wolfman should be in the mix somewhere imo.

And Quad Nations? Who's the 4th team?

Good to see you're Mr. Current Affairs.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Im disappointed there's only 4 or 5 matches.

 

[aqua_duck]

Tolman has to be there

 

[aqua_duck]

Wolfman should be in the mix somewhere imo.

:lol::lol::lol:
Wolfman should be in the mix for qld cup next year

 

[Chook Norris]

isn't Petro injured (Price is out as well) ??

if so, Oz are gonna be a bit light up front..

imo, Hannant very much reminds me of James Graham

although i'd pick Graham over Hannant anyway
