City/Country

[PARRA_FAN]

Lincoln Withers is Canberra's best player I'm sure he might be eligible for Country.

 

[The Observer]

That'd be a good idea, which players would be eligible for City/Country.

I know Country would have Slater, Bowen etc.

Assuming the Kangaroo team looks something like this:
Minichiello; Lewis, Tonga, Tate, Rooney; Lockyer (c), Kimmorley; O'Meley, Priddis, Price; Hindmarsh, Kennedy, Carroll

BENCH: Ryles, Civoniceva, Wing, Fitzgibbon
18th man: Ryan

QLD City/Country teams could look like this

CITY (missing Shaun Berrigan, Civoniceva, Carroll due to Test commitments)
K Hunt; Brad Watts, David Myles, S Berrigan, C Frawley; Jason Smith (c), Cameron Smith; M Crocker, D Carlaw, B Thorn; D Nutley, Barry Berrigan, Shane Tronc
BENCH: Ben Czislowski, Scott Logan, Ashley Harrison, Cooper Cronk
OTHERS: Dan Wagon, Luke Williamson, David Stagg, David Seage, Jake Webster

COUNTRY (missing Tonga, Tate, Lockyer due to Test commitments)
M Bowen; J Hodges, P Bowman, J Hannay, B Slater; J Thurston, S Prince; C Flannery, Dallas Johnson, C Parker; B Ross, N Fien, C Webb
BENCH: S Thaiday, K Reynoldson, PJ Marsh, R Jensen
Others: S Hegarty, Tony Martin, C Schifcofske, T Norton, Ty Williams, Steve Bell, Tim Smith

If by best player you meant, "He has started very well this season and no one expected him to do so" then that statement you made is correct.


However if you meant exactly what you wrote - you have no idea.

The Observer, you forgot last year's City Fullback Brett Hodgson and there's also John Skandalis too for City

Then who has been better than Withers, theres been a few others that have done a lot better than everyone else expected, eg. Jason Smith.

Also Jason Croker has been good, Schifcoske's going really well. So if not Withers than obviously Schif and Croker.

He has started very well this season and no one expected him to do so

Not true, I always thought he would do well for Canberra, I see him more as an 80 minute player.
