I think Mullen was unlucky. How McCrone is in the squad but someone like Mullen isn't is insane. Maybe because McCrone can play hooker? But still...

Josh McCrone, gee the halves standards in the NRL must be at an all-time low if that nuffy can get selected in a rep squad :lol:

It's ridiculous. You could say the same about Uate as well if someone like Kevin Gordon can make it. Although Uate doesn't deserve it nearly as much as Mullen based on this year.

Oh well you Aussies have always done weird things when picking your squads IMO :p.

Of course Boyd made it. He's the incumbent test winger and can play fullback. Anyone who thought he wouldn't be there is having a laugh. I am a little miffed at how Jarrod Croker is in the squad ahead of BJ and Gagai tho..

Sezer and Reynolds are two other halves who shouldn't be there ahead of Mullen (although I like Sezer).

Kind of weird to think he's probably going to finish near the top of the Dally M count and yet can't make a 40-man squad :crazy:.

I suspect the teams eliminated in the finals only get genuine contenders selected, whereas the bottom 8 teams get heaps to cover injuries from the finals/options for the prime ministers 13 game.

This.

Had we have not made the 8 I suggest Dane, Beau, Mullo, Jimmy and Boyd would all have been taken. Uate and Joey would also have been a shot.

Still a bit of a kick in the teeth for Mullo. Congrats to the blokes that did make the cut.

Are us knights supporters just naive when it comes to Mullen? Are we the only ones that think he's a gun? He is never talked about by anyone other than us knights fans. Is he really just not that good ? I can't help but relate Mullen to matt orford who was one of the best halves in the world at his peak and won premierships but was never considered for rep sides

Did any of you not watch the biggest pansy effort at fullback Boyd turned on against Easts? I have never seen anything like it ! Kicks to him and he passes with HEAPS of room to move ! And there are a heap of wingers in front of the princess. My Mrs is a diehard Knights supporter and she even commented on what a pansy he is.

Probably not far off the mark there.

If you read the interstate and nrl forums a lot of the posters who aren't trolls at the very least rate Mullen as a bit unlucky far as NSW is concerned, and deserves to be talked about as a serious contender at the very least.

He is definitely the forgotten man as far as the media is concerned. Pre-Origin this year all the media fap was over Maloney, Sutton and even Josh Reynolds. They have their certain players and teams and pretty much just stick to plugging them.

This is a common complaint about Boyd but what some people don't spot is that if he doesn't run the ball back from a kick but passes to Aku or McManus you can pretty much guarantee he'll take a dummy half run during that same set. And he's very effective at it too.
