I personally felt that Myles should have been in the Australian team. Creagh back to Country team, Houston out.

Bird should have DEFINITELY been there instead of Glenn Stewart though.

[hybrid_tiger]

Tim Moltzen lol...barely good enough this year to play FG!

 

[S.R.]

Country will win easy.

Hmmmm mysterious injury for Bird huh???

 

[Patorick]

6 Tigers!

 

[aqua_duck]

Country by 50, the depth must be pretty thin for city to have to go with 2 fringe 1st graders on the bench in Symonds and Cuthbo

 

[S.R.]

Gasnier? He injured too???

 

[duck_dodgers]

Yeh whats the go with Bird?

The Country side is a quality side in my opinion. It seems Ricky has got the right idea with the players selected, leaving out some of the older players and the overhyped players who do nothing. Lots of youth and lots of players in good form. We actually look a little bit serious now about the Origin series this year and for years to come. Really glad Thompson, Merrin, Tolman, Houston and Heighington got selected. Quality players who will hold us in good stead for the future. The City side is pretty good too. Nice to see Hopoate and Symonds get a run. Looks like a genuine Origin trial now.
