A dead rubber game which they were leading up until the last few minutes and defended with all they had! Yeah they wearnt trying. Get real.
As for you other points:
1. Yes you're right it isn't and that's because form is highly dependent upon how a team is going and competent selectors realise that premierships areant given out in April. Chad Townsend is the premiership winning halfback of the previous season and that more important then who's in form 8-9 weeks into a competition.
2. Moylan isn't in the reserves for Australia however he was in contention because Mal (the most successful coach in origin history) knows how capable Moylan is despite his recent slump in form due to his teams poor performances as of late.
I didn't say they weren't trying but clearly they aren't as motivated in a dead rubber.
So you agree the Australian team isn't picked on form, good to know.
Yet again it's everyone elses fault but Moylan's that he is in rubbish form
I understand you get butt hurt for your boy when he inevitably stinks it up in Origin and gets his justified criticism.. It's cute you want to defend him.
Do you think he's even been a 7/10 in any of those 15 performances so far? I remember a couple of games I'd have rated him 6 or 6.5/10 but that's probably been his best couple of performances so far. Plenty of games I'd have rated him less than 4/10 though and that famous 1/10 game that inspired a gif was particularly memorable.
I hate to break it to you but James Maloney is our best and currently only decent halfback. We have a few decent five eighth options to complement him though.
Also I remember how brilliantly Shitchell played against the Broncos a few weeks ago. I'm pretty sure Moylan's three try assists in 20 minutes has Shitchell's comparative performance comfortably covered.
If reynolds was an 8 last year than yes, pearce has been 7 or above plenty of times. He has had shit games, no argument.
I don't really care what you have rated him TBH.
The whole team was diabolical against the broncos. What's your point?
The Panthers forwards are dogging it so we'd better not pick Moylan - Valheru
I didn't say that
But but but Maloney has a #6 on his back in the halves for the Sharks so he can't wear a #7 on his back for NSW and play in the halves.
After all Thurston changing the number on his back really ruined his Origin career.
Again i didn't say that but keep clutching at those straws.
On top of that he conveniently forgot to mention that 4/6 of the roosters wins this year were against clubs sitting at the bottom of the table lol.
So?
