[Frederick]

Zeb Taia's a Kiwi! Gosh, I thought you would've known that!

 

[God-King Dean]

1. Stewie
2. Hayne
3. Cooper
4. Monaghan
5. Williams

6. Campese
7. Barrett

8. Kite
9. Farah
10. Bailey
11. Laffranchi
12. Stewart
13. O'Donnell

14. O'Meley
15. Creagh
16. Tupou (I think he'll finally step up to the plate)
17. Gidley (Ennis should be there but Gidley will make it cuz he can play anywhere)

*EDIT* Completely forgot about O'Meley

 

[hellteam]

I agree with you God-King Dean i'd put Barrett at halfback. Every time he plays there he causes us so much trouble. Even when he's at five eight he's always dangerous. I'd feel much more threatened if he was in the team then someone like Campese or Mullen (haha)

 

[Joker's Wild]

Campese is NRL standard, nothing more. I really dont get the toss-fest over him.

 

[God-King Dean]

I don't think he's as good as he's been made out to be, but I don't see much choice.

we will wait and see i guess but if he shows some good form at the start of the year he has to be picked.

Can't beleive no one wants to give orford a shot either. What does this guy have to do?

I don't get the big toss fest over wallace to be honest. He performed well last season under the guidance and encouragement of bennet and a great backline running off him. He's nothing special imo.

Merritt does not merit selection.Hayne or Robertson.Finch ffs:lol:.Needs some Watmough as well.

 

[CHRIS SANDOW]

Lol @ robertson, he played poorly in the world cup and hayne is more suited to fullback.

 

[ByRd]

You know whats funny, i dont like the guy but he made a good point, Sonny wanted to play origin but was not allowed cause he was a Kiwi but now Hayne can play for Fiji and then back into NSW and possibly in the future Jennings, Mateo etc. i dont get the difference and you wonder why this stuff comes up every year, im just curious.

 

[VictorTheViking]

Campese is NRL standard, nothing more. I really dont get the toss-fest over him.

He's a better choice than Bird thats for sure.....

As for the NRL standard...would he be in the australian squad if he were only NRL standard?

I still cant see how Gallen deserves any of the rep jumpers he gets, did nothing in origin and has done sweet f**k all in the world cup...useless as tits on a bull.

 

[oneeyedeaglesman]

Lol @ robertson, he played poorly in the world cup and hayne is more suited to fullback.

Yes Robertson played poorly at fullback as he is a winger. Hayne will not be picked at fullback.

 

[saint-colesy]

Robertson is not up to playing Origin, not even close.

12. Watmough
13. Stewart

14. Mateo
15. Mason

17. Paterson/Picker/Creagh- who ever is in better form at the time

 

[Joker's Wild]

Of course your right, the Aust selectors would never make such a silly mistake like picking players who really arnt up to the standard :roll:

Look, its just my opinion but I dont think he is a standout player and talking him up for Origin seems to only be coming from Raiders supporters.

Didnt see too many of our games in the back end of the season then I gather?

Fair enough, your entitled to your opinion, but fair dinkum its not like there's much choice, and given his form at the back end of last year I can't see him not being in the team somewhere
