Reported on the pre game show, a former international will be likely spending some time in NSW Cup this weekend.

Inu I assume ? He would be a former wouldn't he ? Who else would they be talking about ?

Inu... has been ordinary form all year. Probably due for a wake-up call.

Hayne... some pretty ordinary defence last week compared to strong stuff in previous weeks.

Wonder how Grothe will go with his injury... could be a very different backline shaping up this week. TT would have the first option on an open spot, and maybe he'd consider Ben Smith back in the centres before Etu is promoted?

Dropping Inu would be the dumbest thing to do...he is being played out of form by his team mates

The pre game show on what? And was it a definate reference to the Parramatta club? If so could be anyone from Grothe, Inu, Joe, Cayless, Fui, Mateo, Hindy, Hayne as they're all internationals. If there's no source material it's not worth worrying about we'll see the team lists tmrw arvo anyway.

Our backrow went so well, perhaps Hindy (a former international) needs to earn his spot back?

Sunshine,

The Pre Game show on FoxSports before the Storm/Tigers game. Mark Braybrook stated 'My mail on selections tomorrow boys for the Parramatta club is that a former international will be spending some time in NSW Cup this weekend. Will have to wait and see come selections tomorrow'

If it was Gulavao it would be not worth mentioning. Hindmarsh, are you kidding ?

My money on Hayne or Inu.

Going by the World Cup (which was the last international fixture) both Inu and Hayne are current internationals. As is Cayless. Same Mateo.

Joey wouldn't be worth mentioning so, really, it can only be Hindy, can't it?

Unless the "former" is a crock, or they don't count Inu cause he only got, what, one game?

i dislike hayne alot more than i do inu but on form inu needs to be dropped , followed by hayne. id say drop cayless aswell but instead id like to see him leave the club all together , 450k next season! he is def the most over priced over paid player in the nrl

Inu only played one, maybe 2 early games for NZ in the World Cup and was really just a member of the squad, so i reckon he fits into the 'former international' category. And based on form, I'd say he's the man. Just a punt on my part - not professing to have any inside knowledge.

Grothe as well.

He was also starting fullback earlier in the year in the Anzac test, after playing just 1 first grade game. He hasn't been on fire, but he didn't do that poorly on the wknd, unlike others at least he was willing to get his hands on the ball and making runs, he just wasn't given the ball with enough space to do anything with it. Defence wasn't great, but nobody's was.

We know that the media's view of internationals is that you're not an international unless you're playing for the big three...

So that means Inu is a former international (in NZ squad but not selected), Hayne is a former international (not selected for Australia), galavao is a former NZ international (not newsworthy), Hindy is a former international (no way he'll be selected for Wenty), and maybe Grothe is a former international (if he ever actually played for Australia?).

Hayne playing Wenty would be more newsworthy than Inu... I think supporters of other clubs have probably forgotten Inu exists?
