As much as I think Tongue was incredibly unlucky, the more bizarre selection imo is White over Troy Thompson - wtf?! City team looks far better - I'd like the halves combo of Orford/Gower to be the NSW pairing, although I think Dykes was very unlucky not to be given a shot at impressing the selectors.

Well i won't say i bothered going through Country's potentital line up so i have no idea who is unlucky/lucky.

However, that is possible the worst rep side I have ever seen. What the hell could guys like Alan Tounge and Todd Payten do to miss out on these teams. Brett White, Ben Creagh and Mitchell Sargent - please. I would of also though Laffranchi is a good enough player to make a side that ordinary.

The halves pairing is a very sad one. Although im not sure who else is available so i won't comment on it.

Anthony Quinn - wow, talk about scrapping to the bottom of the barrell.

Tim Sheens should have an easy time winning this game.

Worst rep side ever named

Would that be the worst backline in the NRL, which team would be worse

Front row is a joke and bench - newton and white wouldnt make the tigers side , widders has done nothing this year and Preston has been struggling at Penrith

Where is Morrisson, Laffranchi, Payten, in the pack

Where is anyone in the Halves - Scott Hill at 5/8

Well put.. what an ordinary side!

Selection disgraces:

City = Anasta. Ran in hiding today, literally. Was even scared of El Masri on the wing.

Country = Finch. Was HOPELESS today.

Who is the Country coach?
Craig Bellamy I think? As much as I rate the guy, I think he's the best coach in the NRL, but he's up against it with that line-up.

you really have NFI. Newto is one of the best backrowers in the comp and should be starting over Creagh. White is a good prop (yes a smokey but would make any NRL team you nuffy) and Widders has been good for the terrible Eels.

I agree with you on Campbell though.

anyone got a source for that team..?

I agree there. I rate him highly and if he wins with this team then he is the greatest coach of the past 30 yrs!!

Seriously, he would not start over Payten in our team.
