City v Country teams named

[skeepe]

Jackson, Cordner and McKinnon before Fensom would be an insult.

 

[madunit]

Ayshford has shat all over Lawrence this year.

Fensom should just retire if he can't get a gig in this game after his past two years alone.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Could Fensom be a smokey for Australia?

Fensom and TLL hard done by IMO.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Very hard done by. TLL has been on fire this season.

 

[skeepe]

Boyd Cordner and Alex McKinnon are not better players than Shaun Fensom, nor have they been in better form.

Ryan James is not better than TLL, nor has he been in better form.

And of the Raiders centres, while I like Wighton and think he has a great future, if one of them was to be chosen then it should have been Croker.

 

[Big Pete]

Can see Laurie's influence all over this side.

McCrone and Williams
James on the bench
Wighton at centre

Which isn't to say they're bad selections, just that they're players Daley had been talking up for a number of years.

Not a terrible side really. Good to see some fresh blood in there, especially those with a bit of grit about them. Fensom is a terrible omission though.

 

[Pete Cash]

The weird thing is the only raiders who should have been selected were fensom and tll. Mccrone maybe on the bench to nip around tiring players.

Mead is a chance to play fb for this game now.

Kinda surprised Gordon was selected ahead of Brett Stewart too

 

[skeepe]

:lol: Tony Williams made City. They're basically going to be playing a man down when he's out there.

Kinda surprised Gordon was selected ahead of Brett Stewart too

Withdrawn I believe

Seemed uninjured today. Has he done a Lyon?

Yeah, I heard Barrett never had Stewart in his team from the start.
