Australian Tri-Nations squad?

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

mate i really think Lyon should get a look in

 

[Mr Saab]

In your opinion...but you are a staunch eel. Suprising you like him so much considering what he did to your club early 2004. Many eels fans want nothing to do with the Judas.
He wont get a look in as no player has been chosen for a tour who is playing overseas. Rugby league in australia produce many great players so if a player goes o/s he wont be missed.
Darren Smith was selected for one game (3rd test 2003) and Anderson paid for that decision with his job.

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

Fair Enough, i do hate wat he did to the club, but i dont hold that against him, but i would hate him coming back to Parra, but considering his performances i think the selectors should consider him, but when have the selectors evern done anything i wanted! (i thought grothe was a shoo-in for NSW this yr)

 

[Mr Saab]

you have to understand that the ESL is not that strong. Many australian players are killing it over there who couldnt in the NRL.
I know Lyon is a very very good centre and no doubt the best in the ESL, but thats ESL. NRL is a different ball game.
His performances in ESL are no comparison to Gasniers performances (for eg) in he NRL the past 10 weeks.

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

I know the ESL is below NRL standards, but it is not that far behind, and i am not for one second suggesting he is better than gaz, but he sure as hell is better than cooper and berrigan

 

[Phillips]

alot of people are forgetting that Willie Tonga will be back for the test series..

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

good point phillips, but how many games will he have played by the tests, and does that amount warrant selection?

 

[Mr Saab]

tonga has missed the boat.
Injuries have not been kind to him...and gasnier has shown his skill to surpass him

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

yeah well i think this thread has shown that ppl r fine with gaz being a centre, they r more concered abt the other spot

 

[Mr Saab]

berrigan will be the other...many wont like that, but there has never been a test team where every single person has liked the makeup of the team.

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

berrigan will be the other...many wont like that, but there has never been a test team where every single person has liked the makeup of the team.

Uve hit the nail on the head

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

he is obviously trying to gee-up his tigers supporters

 

[Eye of the Tiger]

I Think if Prince and Hodgo are selected and lockyer lets Prince in at first reciver Could be a very deadly combo. But it wont happen. As you dont get picked on form

I think that covers most bases... I was struggling to think of good backrowers towards the end, apologies if Newton is there ahead of anyone more deserving.

 

[Mr Saab]

hodgson will not get picked ahead of minichiello....and rightfully so.

 

[aids]

what's wrong with "gallen? farrah? lafranchi? schifcokske? hodsgon?"
