congrats bailey and kimmorley

[millersnose]

good to see some representatives from the sharks on a roo tour

especially kimmorley who had a great year in a very ordinary side

sorry reefy looks like i was right about campbell not being good enough

 

[King of the Hill]

BAILEEEY! YEAH!

 

[wittyfan]

Well done to them both, it was fantastic to hear them both make the squad, especially Bails. Two representives in one of our lean years, that's a pretty good effort!

 

[King of the Hill]

Darren Lockyer (c), Robbie Kearns (vc), Matt Sing, Anthony Minichiello, Luke Lewis, Michael De Vere, Shannon Hegarty, Ryan Girdler, Craig Wing, Craig Gower, Brett Kimmorley, Phil Bailey, Joel Clinton, Danny Buderus, Luke Ricketson, Craig Fitzgibbon, Michael Crocker, Petero Civoniceva, Steve Simpson, Shane Webcke, Willie Mason, Richard Villasanti, Trent Waterhouse.

 

[Special K]

Go Bailz!!! Your the f**king bomb! You really earnt your spot and gave us all highlights in this terrible year.

Kimmorley did earn his spot but try to tell that to people and you'll get your head bit off :roll:

 

[blacktip-reefy]

Anderson was asked how much input he has on the selection of mattys show.
he all but said, total control.
We all discuss the issues and listen to each others input.
hewas asked again how much input. He would not answer.

So Millers, if you are judging a players ability on what the worst coach in the NRL thinks, again your judgement is poor.
you are the only person I know of who has bagged prestons performances this year. Itis a pity your tavourite player will never emulate his feats again, & campbell will.

There are someextremely fortunate selections for the Roos.
Kimmorley. Well that was suspect(ed)
Bailey(congrats but honestly, oZ selection??)
Simpson??/
kennedy???
Crocker???!!!
heggarty!!

MASON!!!!!!

Kearns!!!!

What makes it worse are the exclusions at the expense of these players.
This is an OZteam that is built around Kimmorley.
it is a traversty of justice & I am embarrassed.

 

[millersnose]

:lol: :lol:

 

[wittyfan]

Bailey(congrats but honestly, oZ selection??)

Well, he played State Of Origin this year, and can play in the backs and forwards. Why is that a surprise? Plus his form for the Sharks was good all year.

 

[blacktip-reefy]

First time ever the clive churchill medal winner is not on the tour.

Q.Tell me would a coach ever think of putting the number 1 hooker into half back?
A. No one with any intelligence

Q.Then why do some idiots put the number 1 half in at hooker?

A. So their best mate/son can get a run in the Aus team!!

Or is it even worse than that & Gower won't get a start?

 

[millersnose]

i actually agree with reefy on bailey

i dont think he did enough

you are the only person I know of who has bagged prestons performances this year.

actually reefy i only gave my opinion on this player when others sang his praises

unlike others who will bag our half back at any given opportunity

for the record i think prestons efforts this year seen him deserve to play 1st grade

unlike last year

i just dont think he is rep standard

 

[blacktip-reefy]

Hey your entitled to your views there is nothing wrongwith that.

But Geez your opinions on footy & footy players have taken a bit of a bashing this year haven't they??

;-)

 

[Aries]

I'm stunned!!? I thought J Anderson would have been there for sure :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[mullet]

i agree with reefy on the selection of bailey. All the best but i think its bit premature. And a few of those other selections :shock: your spot on reefy. The poms are in with a chance

 

[Feej]

I'm stunned!!? I thought J Anderson would have been there for sure :lol: :lol: :lol:

I actually thought Tweedle would be the "bolter" in the squad! :shock:

 

[Frenzy]

There are some very fortunate people in that side.

It's also unbalanced for mine.

Only 2 specialist wingers - yeah you can put Mini in as one but he shouldn't be there at all after the GF. He didn't handle the wet last night hows he gonna handle UK conditions?

3 specialist centers one of who 'may' be 5/8 - Girdler. Is Bailey going to be an Australian center? Imagine how slow a Bailey/De Vere combo would be LOL I don't have a problem with him going and being a stopgap but looks to me he's been picked as a center above anything else.

No 5/8 at all

Michael Crocker! Give me a break.

Shannon Hegarty! Ditto. Wheres Luke Rooney?

Where the f**k is Priddis? If either Bedsy or Wingy have had a better year than Priddis I'll fly backwards naked to Perth. What was the CC medal, the consolation prize?

One selection I do applaud is that of Trent Waterhouse who I thought was a huge chance and I'm glad he made it.

Or is it even worse than that & Gower won't get a start?

Can't see it. Why would they take Buderus AND Wing if Gower was gonna wear the 9? We know he's not going to get the 7 so he's got the thanks for coming award :lol:

6 Roosters vs 5 Panthers - I think not.

And here's the stunner from me - hold onto your chairs. No Campbell! He did enough in one game alone to be chosen. Yesterday. His maturity shone through, his kicking was par excellence, his kick chase defence was very good. His distribution was insightful, he hardly took a wrong option and Fitzgibbon will be having nightmares about him as of the 23 tackles he made at least 10 were on Fitzy.

Yeah it's turn around for me, but credit where it's due. I made a promise to myself to watch the game without the anti Presto hat on and I thought he was good. Very good. He should be on that tour.

Pity the team is gonna win all the games by 40.

 

[blacktip-reefy]

I can't believe the concensus around here lately.
Getting scary.
Nothing like a bit of ugly nepostism to bring out some bonding.

;-)

 

[mullet]

Lockyer into 5/8 and mini as fullback perhaps ???

 

[Madsharkie]

I agree with Frenzy - where's Priddis? On his current form i'd have him over Buderus anyday.

No 5/8 is a concern and if PC was the only fit one available he should have been selected, especially after a blinder last night. DeVere? We must have a few injuries! I think Rooney should have been picked as -love the way he takes high balls.

I disagree with Frenzy on Crocker. I like the aggressiveness that he shows - could be just the thing we need against a fired-up pommy forward pack. I'm looking forward to Villasanti ripping in! :evil:

Is Girdler expected to be fit? :?

 

[blacktip-reefy]

That has already been confirmed Mullet.

CA had to move players around everywhere to get what he wants.
Halfs to hooker, fullbacks to 5/8, second rowers to centre.
But anyway
kimmorley is in & Preston isn't.

& I don't hold CA totally responsible for PC's none selection.
Hey Mr Mcarthy & we all know why.
