any update on that brain bruising thing though?

 

[perverse]

should be the beginning of an illustrious representative career. well done pato. stick to it.

 

[keeney]

Grats to Cross too.

 

[thehattrickrabbit]

Sailor ?

No Colin Best ?

No John Sutton ?

Biggest Crock of a team selection ive seen.

 

[perverse]

cross can get stuffed until he puts in a full season for us. his end of season form was nice... but something gives me the feeling it was to impress the world cup selectors (judging by the article that was posted in here recently).

 

[Serc]

Well done Pato!!!

Nice to see Crossy there as well...I think he could be of real value to us in the World Cup.

 

[Pumba]

Will they risk that Brain Bruising?

Pika?

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Wendell Sailor
LOL, he was so bad he embarrassed himself.

 

[Jono078]

I thought Paterson would be picked but then also remembered that he would have been out for 8 weeks if we ended up having to continue playing. So who knows if he actually plays.

 

[Pika]

Dont think he will risk it.

 

[knights4premiers]

I know this may sound dumb but why isnt Gids in there what excluded him from it :S

 

[Yosh]

I think people that are considered auto selection for test team or something isnt eligible... Dunno though...

Yeah I wouldnt mind seeing some Sutton in the team I must say...

Hey before I say this I'll like to tell you guys I'm Korean but was born here lived here all my life so I am not a racist. Does the NSW team prodominately choose white guys?

 

[perverse]

hehe... somehow i knew you were korean yoshy... you remind me of a few that i know.

are the NSW selectors racist? no, i would say not... unless you regard the opinion of anthony mundine highly. plenty of players from different ethnicities have played for the blues.

 

[roopy]

I know this may sound dumb but why isnt Gids in there what excluded him from it :S

It's basically fringe guys getting a last chance to play for a spot in the WC.
Kurt is on the bus already.

 

[voltron]

wow
i thought i was the only korean on these boards
lol

hahaha
i would to see an asian in the NRL
that'd be fun
too bad we're too short and skinny

 

[otori]

Timana Tahu, Jarryd Hayne, Brent Kite, Anthony Tupou and David Peachey have all played over the last few years. Sure none of them are BLACK as per se but they're not white. Actually the Peach is pretty black.

 

[Yosh]

Black is quite a sensitive word... You f**king racist!!


HAHAHA I'm joking... Yeah I know they have but they seem predominately white... Guess the better players are white... Just thought of it for some reason...

Timana Tahu, Jarryd Hayne, Brent Kite, Anthony Tupou and David Peachey have all played over the last few years. Sure none of them are BLACK as per se but they're not white. Actually the Peach is pretty black.

add willie mason (hell, they wont STOP picking him) and hazem el masri to that list. there are probably a couple more too in recent years.

 

[otori]

Lol Willie Mason's former afro makes the list. The rest of his body misses out methinks.
