Round 9 V's the Cowboys

[GeyerIsADouche]

Call me a one eyed dragons fan, but looking ahead to round 9 there is two rep games on the Friday night. Aus V N.Z and City V Country. I reckon most of our starting side will be playing one of these games, than have to back up against the cowboys the night after.
1. Boyd- possibly wing for aussies
2. Nightingale- will be in N.Z squad
3. Scott- city
4. Coops- country or aussies
5. Del- unlikely
6. Soward- country
7. Hornby- country utility
8. Poore- country
9. Young- country [would be a smokey]
10. Weyman- country
11. Prior- would be a massive chance for country
12. Creagh- aussies
13. Smith- N.Z first picked.

am i one eyed??? thoughts???

No you're not being THAT one eyed, but a few teams might argue some of your picks. Is there REALLY both those games on the same night....geez

pretty close .. though Tuiaki and Vatuvei will be on the wings for NZ

Possible team during that period:
1) Brett Morris
2) Michael Lett
3) Chase Stanley
4) Nick Emmett
5) Wendell Sailor
6) _______________
7) Matthew Head
8) Ricky Thorby/Jon Green
9) Luke Priddis
10) Dan Hunt
11) Jarrod Saffy
12) Mickey Paea/Alex Ranieri
13) Neville Costigan

This is worst case scenario, and just going by our squad list, not taking into consideration in-form toyota cup/shellharbour players.
But the likelyhood of country being 80% dragons would be close to zip. Selectors would never do such a thing, even if it is a good team on paper.

i hope they dont pick st george players, stuff nsw

Realistically I think we will be looking at:

Boyd
Stanley
Scott
Cooper
Sailor
Hornby
Head
Saffy
Priddis
Hunt
Prior
Costigan
Young

Thorby
Paea
Lett
Fepulea

Omissions of Morris, Nightingale, Soward, Poore, Weyman, Creagh, Smith.

Cooper wont make it in the Aus team but wont play C-C either as he's a shoe in for an Origin spot. I doubt the Aus selectors will go with Boyd and will throw Monaghan on the other wing. NSW aren't interested in Hornby in the halves anymore so he may not get a spot for country.
