That's another of my problems... why would El Masri have weighed in on Origin speculation if he only offered goalkicking? He's a solid winger with a sensational strike rate - the top tryscorer in Bulldogs history.

Errr...cos our best goalkicker is Jamie-f**king-Lyon? That's why he didn't get picked, they weighed up his pros and cons and realised he is not up to Origin standard...too small, too slow, too immobile for a guy who is supposed to be a winger. QLDs big backs would annihilate him...

Just checked and yep your the only one rating hazem a chance for origin 2 you still prolly think he has a chance for origin 1...
Firstly I'm sure you meant SOO3, not 1.

So he wasn't considered for Origin I? I don't recall specifically saying it was Origin II above, can you quote me?

Hate to say it but NSW Selector Bob McCarthy and the News Ltd media at the very lease rated him much more than I did.

Luke Burt was never in contention.

No, they consistently and belligerently promoted the idea of Mullen, and they tooted their own horn about it, not much about Orford.

As for Hazem, BOB MCCARTHY was quoted champ... are you really that blind? You can quote me on having him in the side, I believe he deserved selection.

When was Luke Burt ever in contention.

:lol: The idea was to turf Mr Lyon and bring Matt King into the centres champ - I'm not that stupid ;-)

As lovely as that would be, do you really think a selection panel with Laurie Daley and Bob Fulton is ever going to drop Lyon? They think he's the greatest thing since the Gospel According to Judas :sarcasm: Besides Grothe sh*ts on Hazem if you're going to do it that way, so he doesn't get in anyway...

They also tooted before the first game about Orford are you that blind?? ;-)
But Orford does deserve a go more then Hazem... And on Form Burt does above hazem aswell :lol:

Why would they Turf Lyon who isnt a bad defender and put King in at Center then have a Tiny Winger defending Inglis tell me that mr BRAINIC???

Burt isnt being mentioned as he is a FB, and it would be near criminal to get rid of minichello after that performance.

Mini should be able to win back his Aus fullback jersey with a solid performance in the next 2 games...

lucky? :crazy:!!!

thats the stupidest thing ive heard, if anythign its been bad luck... hes been shafted from position to position by BS and never got a chance to get a foothold. Last year when he played well from FB, people were STILL calling for hayne, he has alot of doubters and haters therefore he is Underrated, not overrated.

Exactly what I meant - he was lucky to play under BS.

Someone like Hazem has been first choice winger since debuting at the club. Top Bulldogs tryscorer, top Bulldogs pointscorer, 5th all-time and likely to be first by the start of 2008, In the top ten to fifteen tryscorers of all time, and a career success rate with the boot of 82.69%. He'll pass Mick Cronin and go into 4th on that pointscorers list in the next month too.

And still with two years remaining in the game.

Burt's percentage? 75.65%

Jeez you can be a real moron sometimes Dodgey :crazy: Have a look at Luke Burts form when he has had a decent shot at one position, rather than being centre one week, winger the next, fullback, then five-eighth, then winger, then dropped...etc etc

2001-He had a good shot at the wing spot, and whilst still being a back-up due to his age he did very well
2002-Shunted around, was not at his best
2003-Was given a good shot at fullback after the loss of Hodgson, and was in what the papers called career best form. Made headlines, was in brilliant touch, and then did his collarbone and missed the season. Coincidentally when he went down, so did our year...
2004-Was shunted around and injured, played poorly
2005-Played a bit of wing, a bit of centre, and was also dropped at one stage I believe? Anyways, as per 2003 and 2005
2006-Was dropped...came back at fullback with the injury to McKinnon, got a decent shot at it and was on fire
2007-Is our full time fullback and is on fire

Anything jump out? A pattern maybe? :sarcasm:
