With the Roosters letting both Grothe and Widders go while both Murray and Stuart were assosiated with the club, they will not be selected for NSW and Australia.

the roosters' coaches won't accept their mistakes and keep the former players out of reo sides to avoide looking like and idiot

Well in their defense, don't think they'd look like total idiots.

Both Grothe and Widders are such better players now than they were a few years back.

not all of us will be happy unless it's Smithy or anyone else connected with our club.

I thought they had a panel which decides on selection??

Correct me if I'm wrong, but not all of them would have ties to the rooters either!

I doubt you will see the top 25 named for the blues are all from the rooters too, if you are going by who the club hates and likes

And if you go by links with clubs, then surely that means more parra players should be picked since murray played for parra??

Who ever is in form will get selected, duh!

All Bellamy, Dean Lance, Matt Elliott & Smitty would be better options IMO.

I guess that shuts the door on Smitty at a CCO level as well given Murray's job was with th City team. I guess that rep door is not an option for the loyal country boy in Brian.

However there have been questionable selections before... as alot of us in here were whingeing about over the last few months with the Tri-Nations selections.
And back around Origin time alot of people were whingeing that Eric wasn't chosen as well........

I'm not saying that it will be in favour of the Roosters players, but it is very hard to ignore certain history when Ricky Stuart is involved

Really, it was pretty much always going to happen

Only thing is that next year Ryan Cross will replace Brent Twat in the Test Side

True - they aren't chosen on form.

It sucks.

How was O'Donnell a better second rower in 2005 than Glenn Morrison?

CCO - CITY / COUNTRY ORIGIN
