Tough Decisions..2006 Australian Team??

[ShineDog]

After a sensational season of football , this years Australian team is still wide open .
Apart from Lockyer , Civoniceva , Gasnier , Mason , Nathan Hindmarsh ...the doors are wide open for selection. What are the fans thinking when it comes to selection this year?

Who would you select?

Wow Shine dog u should be a selector for the ARL. This is where your talent truelly lies....

 

[Mr Saab]

Bailey i dont think will be playing in the tri series. I think he is having surgery.
The halfback will be Thurston.

 

[ShineDog]

Actually....Ryles has been ruled out due to surgery and Sherwin missed selection in the train on squad.

New selections : Ryan for Ryles.

I want to see a young team, made up of fresh players. Give all the old timers a break they've done enough this year. Leave in lockyer and pick the rest out of players 24 and under.

Never happen i know but if I was running the show thats what i'd do. Stop making the top players play 30+ games each year

That sounds fine in theory...However . the fans want to see the best team on the field when it comes time to take on G.B and N.Z.

Love the thought process Mr Bourbon.

Agree with the players, the big question is obviously where they will play..

 

[Mr Saab]

Grothes late season form might cost him.
Hodges cant be fullback...he cant catch bombs....well he can, but he is not safe. Play the Dragons Broncos semi final on the VCR.
He has to be in the centres with Gasnier

 

[Dazzat]

1. Hunt
2. Hodges
3. Gasnier (both of these guys are right centres)
4. Inglis
5. King (Inglis and King should know each other's game on the left)
6. Lockyer
7. Thurston (halves built up a combination during Origin)
8. Price (just over O'Meley, although selectors may go with youth)
9. Smith
10. Civ
11. Hindmarsh
12. Thaiday (played his way over Webb)
13. O'Donnell
14. Bailey
15. Mason
16. Menzies
17. Berrigan (now undisputed best 'utility' player in the league. Wing who?)

Unlucky:
O'Meley
Tony Carroll
Carl Webb
Brent Tate
Matt Cooper
Dallas Johnson
