Anyway, congrats to all 3 for getting picked. May they go strongly against a Creagh-less Aussie forward pack....

i know rules are rules, but surely if the aussies didn't want costigan, they could have let him play for png.

nightingale best player, such a great yr, he was just everywhere when we needed him hey, always pops up when hes needed to.

Totally agree.

No, the administrators of the game would rather f**k it around then help it go forward.
Seems to be a theme of the last few years, even if NC's playing for PNG would have been good for the game and even if Lam did the same thing.

Absolute.f**king.Idiots.

 

[OldMan Dragin']

Congrats to all players selected to play for their respective countries, agree with the selections or not, it is a great honour.

the roos should consider shuttin nightingale down before anyone in the kiwis squad he has been so explosive..

 

[God-King Dean]

Best part of the squad is no Asotasi. People are finally starting to notice how average he is.

 

[Slackboy72]

captain does not automatically mean best player in the team, nor automatic rep selection...

*cough*gidley*cough*

All three named in the starting side for the first 4 Nations match against England

http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/...d-as-kearney-tweaks-kiwis-20101020-16t0m.html

New Zealand: Lance Hohaia, Jason Nightingale, Shaun Kenny-Dowall, Junior Sa’u, Manu Vatuvei, Benji Marshall (Capt), Nathan Fien, Greg Eastwood, Thomas Leuluai, Adam Blair, Simon Mannering, Bronson Harrison, Jeremy Smith.
Interchange: Issac Luke, Ben Matulino, Frank-Paul Nuuausala, Frank Pritchard, Sika Manu, Sam Perrett

Maria Hargreaves not picked - seems Parra have nabbed themselves a smart coach

 

[saint-colesy]

Eastwood at prop?

Would expect him to switch with FPN before kick off.

 

[God-King Dean]

Nightingale scored a try against Samoa. Jizz'd.

I know it was only against Samoa, but SKD & Florence seem to strike a good combo.

 

[Spartan - Dragon]

What a godo looking side they picked, all form players are starting! go the kiwi's!
Really happy to see Fein start, he'll do well IMO

Patriotism has always been lost on me when it comes to International League.

With Nate, JDog and Flo representing the kiwis and the omission of Benny Creagh in Tim Sheen's team of niff-nuffs, I'll be cheering on the Kiwis more comfortably than ever.

How can anyone cheer for a team with Slater and Watmough in it.
