[Big Mick]

I agree with eveyone you've got there expect for Phil bailey, Anthony Tupou and Villasanti.

I reckon it'll be Ryles for Contry instead of Tupou on the bench, just watch it. Also possibly Justin Smith may get a run, not too sure if he is country or city.

Instead of Bailey, I'd go for Mark Gasnier.

I like your selection of Matt King, I got a great rap on that kid, brilliant player.

 

[Dogaholic]

I agree with Big Mick

 

[Dogaholic]

Hang on...Amos Roberts???? Aussie or kiwi? if so, city or country?

 

[PARRA_FAN]

The City/Country is actually an Origin trial, why would the test players not get picked in that game :? Its an Origin selection trial, where players no matter what are eligible to play for both City or Country.

 

[Langers]

I don't think El Masri should make it if there is another kicker in the side. I don't know about having Skandalis as the starting prop either. Looking forward to the game though.

 

[Parraren]

Based on this years form Eric Grothe Jnr should bag a spot on the wing for City. Apart from goal kicking I don't think El Masri really offers that much as a winger. Amos Roberts would have to be in there somewhere as well.

 

[Munky]

Rooney is from Blaxland in the Blue Mountains, does that still count as city?

 

[lodown]

no kimmorley in either? he didn't get selected in the test

 

[Disco]

Sam Harris

 

[newmanj]

If Eric Grothe Jr is not the form winger in the comp, you closet selectors are kidding yourselves.

 

[Big Mick]

Luke Rooney shits all over Grothe i'm sorry.

 

[I Bleed Green]

Michael Robertson from Canberra should get a run (even if it's ahead of Monaghan), he's been our inform back over the last six weeks. Blacklock has played pretty average from what I've seen (at least not up to his previous standards anyway).

Oh, and Cooper will definitely get a run for Country.

 

[t-ba]

How can Morrisson play for city? Country Boy. I think O'meley might be a coastie as well and Bailey comes from the North Coast.

Of Manly, I think Hicksy and Harris are our only serious contenders.

 

[ball boy]

Ryan O' Hara??

 

[Tupac Shakur]

O'Hara will be in the Country side if he performs.

 

[Tupac Shakur]

Priddo and Campbell better make it or i'll be really pissed off. They both deserve some type of rep match. Especially Priddis.

 

[Hoggy]

I reckon it'll be Ryles for Contry

I deliberately left him out because there are doubts over his fitness.

Instead of Bailey, I'd go for Mark Gasnier.

Chose Bailey on the basis that he played Tests over the summer while Gasnier was left at home.

 

[thuganomics]

I agree 100% Hoggy, Although you left Daniel Abraham out :shock:

 

[Glenn]

Rooney is from Blaxland in the Blue Mountains, does that still count as city?

As far as I know, Rooney comes under City based on his juniour club
