My first thought was that he was taking the piss, then I remembered he works for the Daily Telegraph and has NFI.

 

[saint-colesy]

This bloke has to just do stupid sh*t to get hits on his website. No one can be this geniused

 

[Tigger Madness]

Dwyer and James :lol:

 

[saint-colesy]

Hunt and Merritt.. Gidley at 6...

 

[watatank]

Young at 9 with no Farah, Ennis or Gidley to relieve...

 

[Hutty1986]

Young at 9 with no Farah, Ennis or Gidley to relieve...

Good thing Youngy doesn't have a bad knee!

 

[Spanner in the works]

Is that the worst team ever named?

 

[Hutty1986]

Is that the worst team ever named?

Some of those Souths sides named in the early 2000's would trump that!

 

[saint-colesy]

Merritt is such a random, useless selection

 

[Tigger Madness]

Merritt is such a random, useless selection

Especially on the bench :?

 

[watatank]

ryan james is just there because of the media hype over martin kennedy

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

Surely he meant Merrin.....SURELY!!!

 

[saint-colesy]

One prop two back rowers and a winger on the bench lol

 

[Goddo]

When he does pick for combos he gets it terribly wrong... Giddley at 5/8 with Mullen at 7?

His second row options are strange - Lewis and Creagh are origin quality workers, but it needs more Bird/Watmough tough players in the mix. Why pick Scott if you don't then pick Soward at 5/8?

And if you pick Dean Young at 9 you need to rotate him into the second row about 20-30 min into the game, which means a bench hooker. But why do that when you have 2 good 80 min hookers in Ennis and Farrah available?

On form, how could you pick Hayne ahead of Stewart at the moment - I know he is a crowd favourite and Stewart may have an injury cloud, but geez.

Idris at Centre, aweful. Gasnier could go ok. Needs more Jennings/Lyon though.

He saved his best form though for the Props and the bench... WTF is Merritt doing there? LOL.

 

[Joker's Wild]

Wow

Does this guy watch footy at all?

James? Merrit on the bench? FFS not even Knights fans like Gidley in the halves

 

[user_nat]

New South Wales selectors, I hope you are listening.

As a Queenslander this is a team that none of us want to see. Our run would be over.
;-)

 

[redvscotty]

Haha good one Nat.

If that team was picked, I wouldn't even bother watching.

 

[eels_fan]

haha

he's gotta be taking the piss

Mannah is the form front rower in the comp - and that bench??? and those halves?? hell -the whole team is rubbish!

 

[chrisD]

Merritt.... on the bench.
