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

Not at all, it will just look odd is all.

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

Charlie, why defend yourself. Would you have any of those players in the starting Broncos team? Maybe Hodgson but I suspect your answer will be not a chance. So if they are not good enough to make the Broncos they are certainly not good enough to play for Australia. Average First Graders/City Country reps at best.

Gallen is better than Carroll. Laffranchi is better than alot of ure backrowers. Farah is ten times better than Barry Berrigan. Schifcofske and Hodgson would both slide into ure back 3. Hunt isnt half the player of either of them.

i never said they were average borat....all i said was that apart from hodgson, the rest have no chance to tour in 2005. I am a realist and dont live in carebare land.
As for the broncos team, i am happy with it, but i would put farrah as the hooker.

why would i agree to anything you say...you think Covell is the best player ever.
I am more than happy with TC
I am more than happy with Costigan/stagg/Thorn
Farah is good yes
I am happy with Hunt..he is only 18 and has plenty of time on his hands

If you could activate an ignore feature for all Sharks Supporters you would never see a post about Gallen. Extremely over rated and is not in the NSW 30 man squad nor will be in the Australian team because right now he just isn't good enough.

Lafranchi. You can't be serious about this guy in an Australian squad.

Farrah is far too raw, give him a couple of seasons to break his way into city country first.

Hodgson may get a spot but is still very doubtful. I would say no at this stage dependant on how the Tigers go in the finals.

Mind you whoever wins the grand final will fill a big number of the 25 man squad so if the Tigers won they could expect alot of these players in there. Otherwise no.

I look forward to reading BBSF's outrage when these "form" players are omitted from the squad. All he has to do is cut and paste from the Anzac test and SOO team announcements.
