Australia don't need a lock, they have plenty of players who can fill that position, Barrett is there solely as a back-up 5/8 to Lockyer, and Thurston is versatile in that he can play 5/8 or 1/2 back. bullsh*t he was the form 5/8 of the comp, Thurston won the Dally M for god's sake and was one of the best players of the finals series, he certainly played 1000 times better than Barrett in the finals.

If you don't think Barrett was the form 5/8 in the comp then you have rocks in your head! Thurston played halfback for half the year anyway. He was largely inneffective in Origin, and I am a Queenslander. Tim Smith or Prince will get the no7 next year. Thurston played well and had a pretty good lead in the Dally M and deserved to get it but it doesn't mean that he deserves to go on tour. How many halfbacks do you want to take? Prince played better in the final series and they took him you tool! Barrett didn't have a great final series but has big match experience, you don't need too many inexperienced players on tour!

Don't know.

Don't care.

Don't want to get sucked in by your bullsh*t anymore.
Wow, look at the white flag go up.

I can't stand Barrett but he has been in way better form in the back end of the season when it counts. Plus the Dally M isn't the be all and end all, especially when morons like Gary Freeman and Daily Telegraph "journos" do most of the points.

We don't need crybaby Thurston abusing touch judges over correct calls in the tri-nations either

1st bit, wrong, Anasta was NSW Five Eighth.

2nd thing, I pointed out that he was QLD halfback to show that he has big-game experience, something that seperates him from Campbell.

3rd thing, Dally M by default, there are other players in this competition besides Andrew Johns that he beat to the honour.

4th thing, trying to be a smartarse saying that he played for the Tigers, you knew I was referring to last year, dickhead.

Lastly, Barrett has played in rep games, but he shouldn't have, apart from Anasta, i think he is the most overrated player in the last 5 or 6 years.

Thurston sh*ts all over Barrett, and you would have to be a complete tosser to think otherwise.
Mate Barrett has as much big match experience as Thurston if not more. Barrett has played 6 origins, 7 tests, played in a world cup and went on a roo tour, all Thurston has done at rep level was lose an origin series.

Thurston is over rated, Johns almost beating haveing missed like 7 games in the season to the award. He doesnt even seem like a great player when i see him play.

Plus there is his great character off the field...

No, it's Johns that is overrated...

Thurston was a deserved winner.

Thurston plays amongst guys who can take Dally M points away with him...

Whereas Johns doesn't (only Buderus or Simpson on occasions)...

The general formula is Knights win = Johns 3 points...

It's been like that for a while...

The only skirts I know of are the overrated underacheiving pretty-boy Dragons, LOL at the bookies for making them favourites, they'll find a way to choke, as they have done for the last 5 years.

Thurston is unlucky not to be there but Barrett wont get to play a test match over there anyway, to many better players in front of him!

Preston Campbell was dally M medalist but never played for Aust. Also Qld halfback that was part of a losing team you conveniently forgot to mention that bit also he was given a football lesson by Johns in games 2 and 3. Also Barrett was NSW 5/8th so what's your point?
I mean the bloke won the dally M by default pretty much, he finished what 1 point ahead of Johns but played what 10 games more?
As for grand final winner, I didn't know he played for the tigers? If you're referring to last year than maybe they should've just picked the whole bulldogs team from last year.
Look the bloke is a 5/8th/halfback, Barrett has covered both those positions before at origin level, he's also played in a world cup final in the centres and was close to MOTM, he's also got the size and the defence to play lock, and he was also a dally m medalist a few years ago.
Also Barrett is injury prone, but so is andrew Johns and both are FIT NOW so what's your point?

Where was Barrett in the Dally M procedings

What is it with Aboriginal five-eighths/halfbacks who win Dally-M awards just ahead of Andrew Johns but can't get picked for their country?
