Australian Tri-Nations squad?

[Mr Saab]

whats wrong?
ok.....

gallen and lafranshi are behind about 8 backrowers
Farrah is behind : buderus, priddis, smith to name a few
Schifcofske cant make QLD so i dont know how he will make australia
Hodgson has a chance to make it, but no way he will start ahead of minichiello...whom you left out.
need i remind you that minicheillo was player of the tour 2004 and player of the series in origin 2005

 

[aids]

Gallen and Lafranchi have outplayed every single backrower i have seen this year.
that's why they keep turning up in teams of the week more often than not.
there are better choices, and i had listed them all in the 25 as well.

Farah is killing it, the only hooker on form he is currently behind is butterball, who is in number 9

Shif is underated

Hodgo is in a serious race for fullback of the year, and is top point scorer.

mini, will the team, although i belive there are better options at the moment

 

[Mr Saab]

outplayed every backrower????? i dont know what games you watch.
Farrah is playing well, but his time will come down the track
Schif is a good player, but he is 100000000000s to make the tour.
Better options that minichiello? He is without peer.
Top pointscorer doesnt mean too much.

 

[aids]

check my 25, check the backrowers i've listed.
the ones not on my list, go to the nrl site and check their(lafranchi and gallen) stats againsts the guys you havn't mentioned, i bet you'll be suprised.

hodgo or slater will get fullback of the year, which ever player gets it should be on tour.

 

[Mr Saab]

aids...the day i judge a player according to his stats is the day hell freezes over.
Stats are for people who have NFI about league.
stats are sooo misleading its not funny.

 

[perverse]

im interested to see that the incumbent test hooker and winning state of origin captain has been ommitted from so many teams, on top of the fact that newcastle are winning matches and buderus is in great form? lol.. i'll just wait until people start screaming bias at me now

[Matt23]

Am i not the only one who'll find it a bit weird to see Brad Thorn lining up for Australia against NZ, having played for the All Blacks??

 

[Mr Saab]

i dont think he will be picked.

the man has a point (not u saab whoever was saying this)
gallen has been the best lock in the comp, and laffranchi runs over everyone and i would have him in my squad if it was done on form.
schifcofske i disagree, not with hodgson and mini already.
farah has been the form hooker but i wouldnt have him in my team just as its his first year, next year then maybe.
hodgson has been better than mini this year. mini has a very high error rate. hodgson is all class. maybe mini has to push to the wing.
grothe deserves a run, form winger of nrl.

 

[Jesfery]

Nope, seems strange to me too... but he played for Queensland so...

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

He played League for Aus bfore he played for AB, and the only reason he did so was because he always dreamed of playing RU for the AB, are you going to hold him againt his childhood dream for the rest of his life? Id be more concerned abt ppl lyk Karmichael hunt wanting to play for Aust after they were in NZ until they were 15

 

[Mr Saab]

BK has it all over Gallen.
BK has not retired from rep football so will be lock.
I dont know if any sharks players will be picked...maybe noddy out of loyalty from 2004

 

[Big_Bad_Shark_Fan]

That is an awesome team, if only the selectors thought like u did BBSF

yeah i no. thats the form team. the real team wont contain a good 6-7 of those guys like hodgson,grothe,smith,gallen,nutley,anasta,

i thought BK retired. fair enough then for Gallen not being picked, i thought Kennedy was gone.

 

[Jesfery]

Really! Well scratch Newton from my squad, Move BK into starting lock and Carroll out into the 18 - 25

Well grothe, smith, gallen and nutley definatley need to be there
