i am looking forward to the games without our rep players.

this is the benefit of losing your stars - you get to blood the youngsters.

& under creeping jesus, how much of a boost can a youngster get!!!!!

how many times did the baby drongos win under creeping during the origin? almost every f*cking game!

furthermore, how many of those young deadsh*ts became first graders? almost all of them. even scott minto!

all these goobers getting origin experience assists the club for big finals clashes in 2 ways.

the rep players get pressure exposure which gives even greater experience.

the youngsters get a sniff of first grade en masse to help prepare them to be the rep players of tomorrow.

i'm gonna love seeing rain, bessden, market, goodwyn, kong, 2gift & penis have a crack during this period.

go creeping you handsome devil!!!!!

Even with the 8 guys playing Origin we will have a handy side.

Hunt, Weyman, Hornby and Cooper form a pretty solid core. Looking forward to seeing Stanley in no6 again, Fein back in 9. The only gaps I see is who will play 1 and 3?

You know we have 'the bye' this weekend right? :p


The SOO period always tests our depth but I have no doubt we will have enough talent accross the park to cover all necessary positions looks forward to Marketo getting a run.

Great to see our dragons get a go at Reps. Hope they all play great and over the over taxing part of the season and that they don't get badly injured and come back a win another Title. And to all the young dragons coming into 1st I hope they have a great time playing over this bloody hard time of the year.

Idris gets selected for Australia then a few weeks later is not good enough for NSW? WTF????

I agree Idris is overated and dodgy in defence but how can two sets of selectors get it so different?

Idris should not have been in the Australian team. He is way too slow to be a center. Ricky didn't want to waste a bench spot on this clown.

I guess then that it enforces the call for the national team to only be picked and play after the SOO games ... that way the Aussie selectors are picking the best of the best.

One set read the DT and believe in a hairdo and the others dont?

Guys I haven't looked at it too closely, but how many games do we play were we miss all our rep players I think it's only one match? The other games we might lose a few that can't back up, but in terms of them having to completely sit out the match I was under the impression we only have the one game that we will have the big issue of 8 missing because of the timing of our two byes. Heard Zorba going on the dragons will drop a host of games and Manly will be leading the competition by the end of June :roll:

Id imagine Bennett will still use the time to leave out a few of the boys backing up here and there, keep em from running out of juice like the 2nd half against the dogs.
