That'll teach you Ricky

[Disco]

you dont rest players in international footy ffs

Hornby, Tate & Tupou out

Thurston, King and Ryan in

 

[El Diablo]

Lyon had a socker

 

[Disco]

Lyon didn't get much ball, plus im assuming Gaz will be out

 

[TheParraboy]

What about Hodges? is he injured

He was one of the Aussie form players

Ricky is a tool

 

[wittyfan]

Lyon should never have been picked.

Lessons are to be learnt from tonight.

I was waiting for one genius to come out with that, and my money was on you. Btw whats a socker?

 

[philstorm]

Thanks alot. Resting players like Hodges, King - not to mention putting Hornby at Full-Back and Cam Smith at Half-back.

I only now see why the Roosters got rid of you.

 

[Disco]

For the record im assuming Hodges will automatically come in for Gaz

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Its more to do with the fact they are in the final and would rather play GB in that final than the Kiwis!

Dear lord this site is full of them. There were more worse than him than better in the australian side.

Hodges for Gaz, King for Lyon and Hayne to the wing.

 

[Big Pete]

His selections when Gas went off were stupid!

Berro should've gone left centre and swapped with Lyon and that's all. Instead he made it complicated.

He lost the plot in this game but aw well.

 

[wittyfan]

But they had credit points, effie.

Lyon is a sook.

not much point in naming an extended squad if blokes like you mentioned dont get a run

first game against the pomms seemed the ideal time to give them a run

what about giving the pomms bit of credit

 

[TheParraboy]

on reflection

Australia are already into the final , so maybe Ricky is just giving guys a run, and others a rest?

Might be a good move (if we end up winnign the final), though we lost this game

 

[Philip_Smith007]

The team selection all depends on next weeks result agains the Kiwis. Kiwis win, 2nd rate team fielded against GB so Kiwis dont make final!

Kudos when it's deserved, Twizzle. The poms played pretty well and deserved the two points. But the fact of the matter is that I dont see why blokes in the extended squad really need to get a game.

Not only does it devalue the jumper, but doesnt allow any players to form a decent combination.

The point of an extended squad, is to cover injuries, you dont just throw around test jerseys, they should be earned

Also i'm in no way saying that the poms wouldn't have won if we fielded our top team (they played great, top kicking game) i'm simply saying the rotational system helps noone
