Sheens Bias - Lote in over Boyd

I hope its a case of Sheens giving the fringe players a game against PNG, and not his club bias. IMO Boyd should be playing, was a standout all year for the dragons.

I was actually expecting Lawrence over Tonga instead.

Well really I don't blame Tim, like many Australian coaches before him he will get the odd player in. Tim, Ricky, Wayne, Bozo the list goes on.

What is a joke is they keep appointing current coaches. That is where the blame needs to be.

Thats true, but Boyd was a winger before coming to the Dragons, he certainly wouldnt be out of place on the wing
No agruement he plays there for QLD. I get the feeling Lote is there to mark Manu in the end.

lote is more of a worry than hayne, imo.

hayne could be smashed, lote will smash you. Similar skill levels as well.

Boyd will be back for the real games.

Lote will be watching from the sidelines if there's no injuries.

i thought they'd use the png game to blood some rookies so i'm surprised lawrence and carney arent there. i wanna see an aus coach who isnt a club coach

Why would you play a person on the wing who hasn't played there since Origin 3? With Sheens as a club coach that makes sense for him, but as a national coach, he is picking a specialist.

Boyd is probably a better player than Lote, but Lote is a specialist winger. Both are much better than Brett Morris who was found out big time in defence during State of Origin this year.
