[CliffyIsGod]

Rooney or Lewis. Talked about washed up hacks.

Cheers. It is just the way it is for some players. You can only select so many players.

now before you all get up in arms, carney's stats say he has mullen over a barrel in every aspect other then try assists, all with a roster considered of spoon contention

 

[thehattrickrabbit]

another player, seriously unlucky to make the team, is preston campbell, imo has been in better form than gower, not to say gower doesnt deserve to be there

I'll agree with that. Campbell was great for us... atleast in attack. Although his defence can be a bit suspect. Atleast when you insist on defending him outwide.

 

[lockyno1]

The team will always be picked so that the players who REALISTICALLY could be forced to play in the tri nations will have match fitness. Campbell won't be anywhere near the halves. Look at who is ahead...Thurston, Lockyer, Gower, Hornby, Cronk, Orford, etc. The halves were always going to come from this bunch of players.

 

[mxlegend99]

Orford isn't a candidate. Pfft.

Yet again he chokes in the pressure games.

 

[lockyno1]

Never said he'd be top of my list but he'll be preferred ahead of Campbell thats for sure!
