Notice how we are sort of trying to class a future rabbitohs player and a past rabbitohs player as our own, trying to make the rabbitohs look better :lol:.

anyway congrats to sutto, well deserved.

Yeah but Sutto is back at lock.

Does he have to bring his own sleeping bag? Because thats what he'll be doing for 40 minutes. Not his fault mind you.

Mark Minichello did fugging nothing at Souths.

He fair dinkum doesnt deserve to be mentioned in polite Souths society.

How Kite made the Aussie team is a mystery greater than the location of Osama Bin Liner.

How Laffranchi didn't make it into the Australian side and then gets picked out of position for Country baffles me the most. The guy is on fire.

'Grats to Sutto. It's nice to see his talent recognised.

It is such a shame that Michael Greenfield got injred because he deserved a go in whichever side he qualifies for.

There must be bugger all City hookers about for Hughes to get the nod (with no genuine back up hooker on the bench).

Is Isaac Luke a city boy? Surely he deserves a run more than grub Hughes...or is he injured?

Umm... Luke Lewis in the second row aye?? I always thought he was a centre?

We signed him for next year but I didnt think we needed more second rowers?

Sutto at lock merely encourages him to slip into a coma.

The more often he can find himself in circumstances of one-on-one the better.

He needs to be where the action is, that moment in time where its do or die, all or nothing.

These tense and anxious moments, times of high pressure, seem to bring out his best.

How on earth Hughes gets a run baffles me :shock:

What about Balin , Friend , Ennis , Wallace etc who would all be far more creative than the dong-beater Hughes
