What?!? No Anasta?

[The Colonel]

The Kangaroo Train On Squad has had Richard Villasanti and Brent Sherwin, Mark O'Meley, Steve Price and Willie Mason added.

It looks likely the vacant position of five eighth will now come down to Craig Wing, Preston Campbell, Craig Gower or Matt Geyer.

The other mebers of the squad are:

Parramatta – Nathan Hindmarsh

St George Illawarra – Mark Gasnier

North Queensland – Matt Sing

Cronulla – Brett Kimmorley, Phil Bailey

Wests Tigers – John Skandalis

Manly – Steve Menzies

Newcastle – Ben Kennedy, Timana Tahu, Danny Buderus,

Steve Simpson, Josh Perry

Brisbane – Gorden Tallis, Darren Lockyer, Shane Webcke, Brent Tate, Petero Civoniceva, Shaun Berrigan, Michael De Vere, Dane Carlaw

Canberra – Luke Davico, Ryan O'Hara

Melbourne – Robbie Kearns, Matt Orford, Matt Geyer


Gasnier, Kennedy and Thau are all under injury clouds.

Waste Anasta dosnt deserve to be in the team

but looking at the props in the team so far, i think they will take 4 or 5 and they should be out of these 7 - Price, Davico, O'Hara, Webcke, Kearns, Civoniceva, Clinton

and my take would be- Price, Webcke, Davico adn a toss of the coin over Kearns/O'Hara/Civoniceva

 

[slippery eel]

Anasta has had a really bad year!. I dont think he will be anything special in the future even though he is still young. Freddy at 19 was carving them up.

 

[Special K]

and my take would be- Price, Webcke, Davico adn a toss of the coin over Kearns/O'Hara/Civoniceva

No Villasanti?

If I was to take 5 props, I'd take Webcke, Villasanti, Price, Civoniceva and O'Hara or Clinton. Or maybe both a leave Covoniceva behind....I don't think Davico or Kearns will go because they have said they wanted to bring some new young blokes on the tour but you never know both have been in good form.

I'd give Gower number 6 and make him the the general play kicker if Kimmorley was to get the number 7. But Campbell has to find a spot on the tour[GIVE HIM BACK! ]

ahh yes i forgot Villa
i think they will take 5 so mine would be - Price, Webcke, Davico, Villa and a toss of the coin over Kearns/O'Hara/Civoniceva

Anasta was pushed out of the NSW State of Origin team by an old man with bad knees who can barely train half the time and isn't even a five-eight by trade. He hasn't been overly impressive in the back end of the season to prove worthy of a place.

I don't think you can even say Anasta and Brad Fittler in the same breath mate...Anasta doesn't have half the talent of Freddy.

Just like big mouth Mundine...always said he was better then Freddy.... :roll: :roll: :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol: What a joke.

 

[Dogs Of War]

Hopefully next year the dogs play him at lock and use thurston at 5/8 now that travis norton has left.

That said, I think they got pick O'Meley over Pricey, both have had good years but O'Meley hits the line harder and has been playing a touch better than pricey lately.

Will Anderson be tempted to shift Lockyer to 6 and leave Minicheillo at fullback?

 

[The Colonel]

As Lockyer is the best fullback in the world I would hope that he doesn't. Nothing against Minichiello however you don't weaken a position to make another one strong. Lockyer plays much better when the whole game is not revolving around him as well.

Anasta hasn't had a bad year. He has failed to live up to the hype that has surrounded him since he became a first grade player. He has the makings of a good honest first grader who does what he has to week in and week out - much like Ricketson. When he realises this and lets Sherwin control the side he will be better for it.

Anasta is nothing more than a good lock trying to play 5/8.

 

[salivor]

Anderson may be a dead set idiot but he knows that Lockyer is a fullback and the sooner this continual 5/8 talk goes away the better. Minichiello will play on the wing, people seem to have forgotten pretty quickly that thats where he has played most of his football.

 

[Special K]

No way he will move Lockyer to 5/8. Mini will be on the wing..If he picks Noddy at 7 then he can pick a Gower or Sherwin etc for 5/8 or have Noddy there and one of them at half. Either way I feel that a half back will go as a 5/8

I hope your right and Lockyer does play fullback, but remember it is Anderson and he is gonna select Kimmorley, so it's not like he doesn't do stoopid things.

 

[salivor]

Well thats why I called him a dead set idiot but I think hes got plenty of options for the 5/8 position without having to look to Lockyer who has played just a handfull of first grade games in the position.

 

[millersnose]

if freddies fit enough they should beg him to do it

 

[The Colonel]

if freddies fit enough they should beg him to do it

Thats easy - Freddie isn't fit.......

 

[legend]

I think the side will look like this:

Lockyer
Minichello
Hegarty
Girdler
Sing
Gower
Kimmorley
Ricketson
Tallis
Kennedy
Webcke
Buderus
Villasanti

O'Hara
Fitzgibbon
Wing
Kearns

 

[southern warrior]

wont gidley and tate be in the centres

 

[Mad Dogg]

wont gidley and tate be in the centres

Both injured. I'm pretty sure Gidley is out for sure, while Tate is looking more and more likely to drop out as well.
