After todays win i`m sure there will be some very difficult selection headaches for Sheens to make.Anyway i`ll have a go:
1.Hodgson(the buy of the year,thanks Parra!)
2.Moodie(one of the buys of the year)
3.Halatau
4.Elford
5.Wilson(he deserves to keep a starting spot somewhere)
6.Prince
7.Kerr
13.Sattler
12.Laffranchi
11.Galea(he is finally coming good)
10.Skandalis
9.Senter
8.Payten
RESERVES
14.Mears(love him or hate him,he`s playing well!)
15.Heighington(a future rep player.Resign him please!)
16.Harrison or Fulton(toss a coin,I can`t split them)
17.Gibbs(who cares about Ashton Simms?This kid is a sensation!)

Good side Vicious. It will be a top match. Thta wing is our only weak spot if you ask me and with Richards to come back we could cause a few shocks if you ask me. Isnt it great finally to see our backs get some ball from set plays

cheers

Wilson on the wing I don't think so I'd leave him at five eight, people bag Fitzthenry but he can do some damage at times from dummy half.

Buckets has to be in the side before Gibbs or Harrison. I'd still start O'Neill just because of his experience. Very solid in the first twenty...

Id leave Wilson at 6 and Prince at 7. Kerr had a great game today,but I just think that Prince is a liuttle classier.Kerrs kicking game was good...not great.If Prince could kick like Kerr,and Wilson plays like that again......Id be veryy happy with a Prince/Wilson/Halatau/ ELford three quarter.....

Very intersting to see where Sheens goes with this side.....

But its all bloody good!!!!!

Why does Buckets have to be in the side before Gibbs or Harrison?Gibbs in particular gives us that extra big man and can`t be left out.I think our first twenty was pretty solid today don`t you?

1. Firstly Yeah as said above Wilson isn't a winger thats a ridiculous spot to put him... leave him at five eighth

2. which as above means yeah u keep prince were he plays the best and i mean for QLD and for us all season

3. Senter has to start the game as Mears is most effective when he comes on that is at the end of the first half when the opposition is tiring..

Senter is better to start as he is a more defensive player

There is no reason why John Wilson couldn`t or wouldn`t play well on the wing,however his extra size and defence at 5/8 was a huge bonus for us today.There is the possibility that Sheens might start Prince at 7,Wilson at 6 and have Kerr on the bench incase our attack isn`t working as well as it should be.In saying that I think Kerr has earned a starting spot!

No way Gibbs or Bronson are better than Buckets at the moment. It's going to be a big game at Jubilee and you need a hard head with experience out there...Buckets for me.

U gotta keep Kerr at half.
His kicking game is 3 times better than prince.His kicking game
was smart 2day.Wet greasy condition,he didn't go a torpiedo
after his miss-hap touch finder.He optied to just punt it(U don't
get the distance but u get accurate kick's away).

Plus i thought his passing game is crisp.

Anyone who doesn't think he is a walk up starter at half next
week has got rocks in their head.

Pick him at 1/2 next week tim

isn't sattler out for 2 weeks? if so you can take him out of the side..
the halves combo will be tricky..
prince will ave one spot there's no doubting that.. as long as he pulls up ok from SOO.. wilson was a good running 5/8th today.. opened up alot of gaps in the opposition.. but kerr has a fairly good kicking game.. due to today's style of play he didn't get too many kicks away..

as good as Kerr is, there is no doubting prince's ability and the fact that he is a representative player

kerr is a very good service half, that is, setting up the forwards and kicking on the 5th,

therefore, it's good to have him in premier league- that is unless he can play 5/8th

otherwise u'd have to have "rocks in ur head" to decide to put prince in a position he has not played at this yr/.......

You would have to have "rocks in your head" if u think prince wasn't
playing 5/8 when reynolds was around.

I am a huge fan of kerr's....sorry

IMHO kerr is a hell of alot better than reynolds.Prince was playing outside
reynolds.I just can't see why sheen's wouldn't opt the same.

i cant see why u would want him there anyway... wheres he playing on wednesday night????

and did u really think reynolds was a success at half? he was our worst buy.....

kerr's good as i said as a back up.... if he was the andrew johns u describe him as he would be still playing for st. george instead of matthew head....

Reynolds didn't even play one game at Halfback. If your saying Reynolds is our worst buy because he didn't perform, surely that tag goes to Pat Richards at the moment.

You're kidding if Buckets isn't in the team. First of all, it's his 200th game, so they're not going to drop him regardless, secondly, Gibbs and Harrison have NOT shown that are superior to O'Neill, they are mearly up and comers, and thirdly, Buckets brings a lot of exprerience to the team which helps the younger players.

Kerr is a half back. Prince is not. Prince is a 5/8. Simple. We all understand.

IMO prince is a better 5/8 than half when he gets good ball from the
half.Watch some games last year from the broncos and u will see
what i mean.Alot more dangerous with ball in hand.


Reynolds was dissapointing,I had reasonably expectation which
he didn't live up to.

Did u think johns would have got a name for himself if he just played pl?
I never said he was a 'joey or orford' but kerr has the potentuial to
make a name for himself.
Hasn't kerr had a few injuiry problems in the past.But also with
firman ahead of him last year why wouldn't he want to be released?
