[Kilkenny]

Good on David McLean. Very honest underrated footballer.

 

[Zigwaa]

No Country players, that's a shame.

 

[The Sarge]

If the country players were any good they'd be in town already. I'm glad no "token" country players were selected.

 

[girvie]

David McLean is the token country player.

Does anyone know what the situation is if a NSW Residents player is selected in NRL this week?
Can they still play in the Residents game or do they miss it?

Nathan Hinton and Zeb Taia were both selected in the Knights NRL side.

Usually players selected in these rep matches are supposed to sit out the weekend before.

 

[Hurriflatch]

In previous years they could play the week before

but I noticed before Origin I that the under 19's players were all missing from the lower grades so maybe the rules have changed

 

[girvie]

There is one change to the team with North Sydney second rower Eddie Pettybourne replacing Zeb Taia. Pettybourne also represented NSW Under-19s this year.

Fullback - Nathan Hinton - Newcastle Knights
Wing - Akuila Uate - Newcastle Knights
Centre - Tim Winitana - Canterbury Bulldogs
Centre - Joel Reddy - Parramatta Eels
Wing - Matthew Gruszka - Cabramatta Blues
Five Eighth - Kris Keating - Parramatta Eels
Half Back - Blake Green - Parramatta Eels
Lock - David McLean - Berkeley Sports Eagles
Second Row - Alan Rothery - Canberra Raiders
Second Row - Weller Hauraki - Parramatta Eels
Prop - Toa Asa - Western Suburbs Magpies
Hooker - Stuart Flanagan - Balmain-Ryde Eastwood Tigers
Prop - Sione Finefeuiaki - Manly Sea Eagles

Interchange
Eddie Pettybourne - North Sydney Bears
Brad Morrin - Canterbury Bulldogs
Charlie Leaeno - St George Illawarra Dragons
Tony Caine - St George Illawarra Dragons

 

[Hurriflatch]

Very interesting

If Taia plays for the Knights and the other players do not play for their clubs this week then I'm guessing that basically Smith told Taia he needed him for 1st grade and couldn't afford to have him sit out due to being picked for this team

 

[Dutchy]

Sione Finefeuiaki is playing 1sts and Resies...

 

[girvie]

I've had a look at the Premier League teams and it looks like everyone has been named in their team this week so i guess they will probably play and then back up on Wednesday.

That would give Qld and advantage because i'm pretty sure their players are sitting out this weekend.

[Hurriflatch]

The under 19's guys were named in the sides but on game day just happened to be replaced

 

[roopy]

Hinton is playing firstgrade replacing Kidley - and Uate is being tipped as a late replacement in firstgrade as well

 

[skeepe]

Brad Cross from the Raiders has been called in to replace Nathan Hinton. Given that Cross is a centre, I'm not sure how it's going to work. Joel Reddy to fullback?
