back in those days no club really had their hands in anything
teams were selected alot more fairly, granted some bias was creeping in but not nearly as much as these days
joel has all but confirmed that he left because it would give him a greater chance at getting a rep jersy. Watch it, he will be playing for NSW next year, would he play for NSW at canberra... maybe but the chances are alot higher at the chooks and i think thats wrong
Don Furner was a selector for NSW and Australia and he was involved with the Raiders and his heart is still with the Raiders.
Manly as has been mentioned previously owned the game in the 70's and early 80's.
Souths in the 50's
Saints in the 60's.
Selectors do favour players from winning teams or players who form combinations with others that are already there.
Johns, Gidley, Tahu perfect example.
