Look on the bright side. Our boys have world club challenge etc leading into 2017. Playing this crap would probably mean a worn out squad if many were selected.

Only the Sharks matter to me so blessing in disguise for me

Thats true from a fan POV. Put ya players hat on though. They WANT to make these teams and even PC has polluted this process

Well as surely posted on the nrl forum perhaps Fifita should have " distinguished himself off the field" as stated as a selection criteria

Just like Ferguson.....

This selection of 4 Nations team is way beyond a joke!
How none of our Forwards can get picked after such brilliant performances all season, let alone their finals domination, could never be justified!
If we hadnt just won a Premiership..............Id want to kill someone:mad:

This team is all over the place. You have to be a model citizen, but then Fergo gets a gig. He shouldn't be anywhere near this team on form alone.

They're ushering in a "new era" and phasing out the vets. But then Thaiday is there for some reason.

Milford and BJ Leilua seem like strange exclusions. Dugan was very quiet in the back half of the year, but still makes the team.

Sure it prevents the Sharks players from being too fatigued and risking injury, but it sucks for them on a personal level.

Sorry I am just cleaning up the vomit. I just heard Greenburghs comments on the news re Fiff. What a load of crap. That speech was then followed by the team announcement (this was on the 11.30am news up here)

Carnnnnts like Fathead, Dugan, farkkk me half the team has bloody form and they all of a sudden decide that they are going to make an example of Fifita. (pssst was it the East Hooker that had a bit of form also or have I got the wrong bloke)

THANK f**k I NOW HAVE AN ESCAPE CLAUSE.

The NRL is a farkin joke.

Interesting squad there. Try this little NRL exercise. How many of those selected have had serious incidents or marks against their names.

D Boyd (cubicle), Dugan (breezers), Fergo (breezers, grope), Friend (assaults), Inglis (assault), Thaiday (cubicle), Thurston (hush hush)

What did greeburg say. Was Fifita being left out a formal punishment for the wrist band thing?

Semi Radradra also not considered due to off field thing. That's informational only. I don't give a rat's and don't think he should of played in last test to be honest.

Seriously, the statement from Greenberg only reinforces what a gold plated pissant he really is.

He says Fifita wasn't considered because of an investigation by the NRL integrity committee
Was Jarryd Hayne not considered for the exact same reason?

He also says Radrahdra wasn't considered for off field issues so what the f*ck was he doing in
the prime ministers 13 last week?

For me the strange choices are friend and O'Neill. Chambers can consider himself unlucky despite the fact I wish an ACL on him every game.
Friend adds nothing. Obvious they want a passing tackling hooker.

Boyd was good all year, but he isn't an Australian quality prop.

Overall. It's a boring team. Same same but different

What does BJ Leilua need to do to get a rep jumper?

Seriously.

Blake Ferguson and Josh Dugan offer more?

LOL!

I agree with this but every other year the premiers always figure very prominently in selections.

Yet another snub. Btw, don't expect many more Ch Nein games nect year, mark my words,

" abuse of junior Ref 'also got a mention. Might grudgingly accept this if there was clearcut rules on International selection criteria rather than the arbitrary crap .Wrist band was ridiculous beat up by press .Could have been interpreted as loyalty, compassion,forgiveness,and support on Fifitas part..

One good thing..At least BBQing alone is no longer a crime,although I would still have concerns over the culprits eyesight.

We all knew it. Hopefully Burrito did to and he's over it. This side might get rolled over there. That would be kinda funny in a perverse fashion. Particularly if the forwards are to blame. Smellma doesn't want AF in the side. Greenberg was the one to break the news. Burrito is a premiership player now and ill bet you London to a brick he is having his own brand of fun now with his family. Im not going to dwell on this stuff anymore. 'Just takes me back to the dark ages . You know pre 3 October 2016.

Thank feck we won the whole fecking thing.
Frig you NRL, we don't care about your deluded and hypocritical selections ( we're all still tanked)
I had a chat to Fifi last night at northies and told him he should have given greenscum a grade 8 head butt on stage as he shook his hand.

They drug test players...........it seems they should drug test selectors too.
It's bad enough Graham, Birdy probably Prior missing out but Fifita is the standout prop of the competition. Seems like political correctness has spread its ugly tentacles into League as well.
All that aside, how could they leave arguably the best attacking player since Reg Gasnier - James Tedesco - outta the side.
A bloody joke.
