If you bothered to read the rest of the thread, you wouldn't come across as such a farkwit.

It's still a dud bench.

IMO:
Hunt, Tate, Gasnier, Cooper, Inglis, Lockyer, Thurston or Cronk, Civ/Ogre, Smith, Luke Bailey, Mason, Hindy, Carroll.

Bench of Hornby, Berrigan, Civ/Ogre and Ryan.

You've only got two 80 minute players starting and two forwards on the bench.

 

[Master Vippo]

I dont thionk Carroll should play. I hope he doesnt.

 

[1999]

ryan hoffman or mick crocker will make one of them bench spots

 

[Leagueguy]

I dont thionk Carroll should play. I hope he doesnt.

Is that because you don't like him, don't think he's good enough or because you think he's a Kiwi?

Haha, change your mind when some people tell you how sh*t your bench is.

The fact remains, that at some stage you wanted a bench of Hornby, Hodges, Berrigan and Ryan. That proves you have nfi.

berrigan has to be on the bench. he's been awesome since moving to hooker and is cutting up a lot of teams around the ruck. you also have the added bonus of him playing in the backs in case of injury, or you could do what meninga did in origina nd play him in the backrow (qld did end up winning the series so it wasnt too bad a decision)

and hodghes has easily outshone cooper this eyar, but if stuartw anted gasnier and cooper as hios centres then I'd play hodges at wing ahead of grothe

I really think they'll need an extra hooker/half on the bench or atleast in the squad, if not two.

 

[Azkatro]

Hunt would have quite comfortably commenced a 10 year run as Kangaroos fullback if it wasn't for Greg Inglis.

Inglis has to be a fullback. He is not nor should he ever be a five-eighth - his running game is out of this world.

I think we can agree now that Cronk will be half-back. :lol:

Hasn't Luke Bailey already ruled himself out for shoulder surgery? I'd have though O'Meley's form ruled him out :lol:
