No Kimmorley? What a travesty.

 

[Matta]

kennedy and barrett were ruled out due to their injuries

 

[richie8u]

good forwards, but the 3/4's???

 

[Matta]

civoniceva was selected but he is still in doubt

 

[Matt23]

Civoniceva in doubt with a knee injury, Gower was picked by all of the selectors.

 

[Matta]

Apparently the CEO of the Dragons stated that Barrett was available, but the Dragons doctor informed the ARL that he wasn't. :?:

 

[Dr Crane]

I see another 48-6.

That team is terrific, huge credit to the Aussie selectors IMO.

They have shown balls in leaving out Barrett and playing Lockyer 6 and Mini 1, the correct decision IMO. And the selection of Hindmarsh is a total surprise and a fantastic choice. Plus they picked Gower. Only problems are shithouse Crocker and *snore* De Vere on the wing.

 

[Special K]

What happens if Gower goes down in a couple of months? do they go running back to Kimmorley again for the tri series? :?

 

[Kiwi]

If that is the side, then the travisty is not Kimmorley missing out, it's Cross from the Roosters and Grothe from the Eels missing out for those 2 hacks from Newcastle.

 

[Macca]

Yes, because the Warriors are on fire ATM.

 

[Pigskin]

I'm a Broncos supporter

But Devere's selection is most surprising .... goal-kicking clearly was the decider .... he is one of the best defensive players on the flanks in the league .... but his attack is more than questionable

:roll:

Oink !

 

[axl rose]

Devere is a class player with pace to burn and amazing footwork who im sure was not just picked because Frankenstein is coach.


There you go Bronco fans you dont need to say fifty times now.

 

[Steven Gerrard]

No Suprises there. :roll:

 

[axl rose]

Cross from the Roosters .

:lol: plz you are killing us

 

[eternaltreblinka]

Good on Phil Bailey for getting back in. ;-)

Leaving out Kimmorley is ridiculous - petty old men taking out their revenge on Anderson.

I'd have Luke Bailey starting ahead of Clinton and Cooper in there instead of Devere.

 

[brook]

What happens if Gower goes down in a couple of months? do they go running back to Kimmorley again for the tri series? :?

probably

but if they were smart they would go for someone who's been up there with gower for the form halfback of the last 18 months - Matt Orford

 

[Matt23]

Grothe is'nt ready just yet, but he's a walk up start for city if he stays fit

 

[Dragon Fanatic]

Thats a joke that Bailey isnt starting. Absolute bullshit.
