Come to Wests Tigers = No Rep Career

WARNING - I am about to have a HUUGE whinge!

What a load of crap, Ok maybe Skandalis isn't up to being in the top 17 for NSW but not in the 30? Give me a break No one in the rugby league world takes this club seriously. WHAT THE HELL HAS BRENT KITE DONE? If playing a good game for city/country off the bench is the intinery for a state call up, WHERE THE HELL WAS SKANDOS IN 2002??????????????????????? This is a massive kick in the guts not only for the big fella but for the whole club.

Don't even get me started on Ben Hornby, Laurie Daley has too much influence on this team. When you sign with the Dragons upon handing you the famous Red V they also give you a ticket that says 'the bearer of this ticket is entitled to play Rep Footy ,can be used during a 12 month lay off for injury' If Hodgson isn;t a better player than this bloke Ill give it away, he was injured for last years Origin. Wasnt he NSW's best player in 2002? Shouldnt he be an automatic call-up now his fit??

Watch for Sattler and Prince not to play for QLD either. Even with Berrigan and Seymour out Prince won;t play. Paul Green to come out of retirement or Chris Walker to be named halfback. Both those are more chance than anybody we have.

Smart work by Benji selecting NZ. Message to Halatau and Harrison, if you want to play Rep footy down the track pick your homeland. To other potential future Rep players like Laffranchi and Gibbs better go through your bloodlines and hope you find some English or Kiwi somewhere. Robbie Farah I hope you enjoyed playing for Lebanon cause its the only rep teama you will represent.

How are we ever going to attract quality players to the club?

I know we are a lower team and no I don't have my orange, white and black sunnies on, but if an individual is performing to Rep standard they should be selected no matter who they play for!!

Now you know how us Raider fans have felt over the past few years, even when you've criticised us for wanting one or two rep players in a team.

Skando should be in the top 30. Infact he should be there ahead of Stevens. Skando is a workhorse type player who never lets his side down, but unfortunately he will never get picked I fear.

Very unlucky.

Speaking of the raiders, Monohan should be in the 30. Oh well, at least O'hara deservedly got his place. :clap:

its a joke what does skandpo have to do to get selected apart from leave (which wont be happening)

also on prince he has to be in the qld side no lockyer no seymour no berrigan if he isnt there needs to be a royal commission into the selection of sides

What about the selection of Jason Ryles!?!

The dude has played one shifty game in 12 months and they auto-select him. Surely there have been better performed and fit props this season, even if you forget that Skando exists.

A joke.

I agree Nick , their is definately a culture gap between wests players and players that play with the right club .
Brent Kite was the guy who Cronulla ran in 3 tries in a major semi a couple of years back . Can he tackle now ?

I will definately be giving origin a miss ,unless Scott Prince gets the number 7 jersey which is looking more and more likely with Seymours injury .
Which also makes me wonder , how is Seymour a better player than [Prince.

Its a boys club always has been always will be .

TOP post mate this is so accurate. U've summed it up well as have the rest of you- f**kn Ryles picked afta like playing 1 game , Stevens?? Kite??? Its a bloody outrage. I'm going to the St.George forum now to vent my anger on to them. Skando- chin up mate- maybe one day when the selectors get some sense u'll get u go.

As for Prince v Seymore- f**k prince wins everytime but bc Seymore was playing with Lockyer hes like the new johns,

f**k origin

It would help if the tigers had won more games this year. I wouldn't get all wrapped up in this as there are plenty of unlucky players that do not play for Wests as well

This is the one that really gets up my nose....I wonder how Skando feels?

hes out there week in week out busting his gut.....gets selected for city and no doubt would have some hope of state selection on that .....someone shouldve told him its all under false pretences.

I agree especially about Hornby V Hodgson & Skando V Kite (Daley is certainly sporting his red & white glasses in the selection room)!!!

But give me a break about Satts not being likely to get an Origin spot!

He is 32 and has played just one single and very ordinary Origin game in more than ten years of senior football!!

He was never a chance - QLD have plenty of back-row depth!!!

Prince is a chance due to injuries - but let's face it - his form for the Tigers is not worthy of Origin (especially his lousy kicking game)!!!

When i read that origin squad i felt immediatley sorry for skando, its a massive insult to him that players like Kite and Stevens are ahead of him. I know they've played well but where is skando's reward, im sorry Laurie, i do admire your thoughts most times but this time your credibility has taken a beating!

Skando is one of my fav players and for his heart he deserves to be there but the lack of meters once he hits thr defensive line has cost him. I don't know if it is too late or not and maybe the lack of doing this is a reason he doesn't get injured but it's also the reason he doesn't make origin.

Well I hope Queensland wake up to themselves and pick Prince against Penrith his kicking game was great against the Roosters it was abismal ... it all had to do with how the forwards were going. Which is the same for any halfback.

first of all its nice to back ...

listen i pose the same question that nathan brown did regarding barrett at 5/8 for australia (lockyer issue), when he said something like .. if barrett was a brisbane would he start at 5/8 for them? .. same thing .. if hodgson and skandalis were at st george .. would they be inthe starting side? .. i'd say yes ...

I think some of you just woke up! You say that Daley has biase towards certain player's hence.. Hornby & Kite.It's been happening for years.Or does everyone forget when Tommy Raudonikis was SOO coach and for some reason a bolt at of the blue happened.When Kevin's older brother KEN McGuinness was selected on the bench,and believe me his form was'nt that great at the time. Well anyway I think the nicest thing to happen now is for NSW to win the series and for both Kite & Hornby to let's say...... 'BREAK A LEG' ;-)

I heard on the radio earlier this morning that Prince has been brought into the QLD squad given their large injury toll.

I only heard the story once, and have not been able to confirm it elsewhere.

Did anyone else hear this?
