gotta feel for Ben Cross - best prop over last 3-4 weeks of the season, and best NSW prop in origin series.

Perry, Fitzgibbon, WTF

bullsh*t, queensland got jibbed again!

**edit - i should explain

12 qld's and 12 nsw's, if nsw dominated origin for the last three years like qld did it would be 75% nsw players, but because it's queensland we only get 50%, where is sam thaiday? he's a better player then glenn stewert, also k hunt is a better utility then gidley, i'm assuming they only missed out becasue of pending investigations???

In your opinion....obviously not in the selectors...:)

It should be selected on individual merit not by state. There are quite a few funny ones in there though.

Lyon has said that if he was picked he would play, but his preference is to be with his family...not exactly exhibiting a great attitude to playing rep football.
Thats why he was not chosen.

Dave Williams has gone from playing with the Hills Bulls to the Aussie squad in a year, great stuff.

I wasnt serious....the guy is a hack of the highest order. Why any front rower would be scared of him is laughable.
