Who should be Australia's half if Joey cant play?

[Balmain Bug]

On form, I'd pick Prince. He has been on fire pretty much all year.

Barrett and Thursty have been playing 5/8.

Smith's time will come soon but not yet.

The rest have not shone except for Orford who has played very well but does not have the connection with Lockyer that Prince has.

On form, Prince.

Selectors will pick Barrett though.

 

[McLovin]

Selectors will select Kimmorley. If 90% of players in the team are not in this years finals series then its a farce. I understand loyalty comes into the mix but why wont they select players from performing teams???

 

[aussies1st]

Tim Smith lets see our future

 

[ParraDude_Jay]

Prince definitely, but that didn't stop me from voting for Smith :lol:

 

[Big Pete]

Scott Prince should be, Kimmorley will be.

 

[Slappy]

Scott Prince should be, Kimmorley will be.

ditto!

 

[thuganomics]

Barrett

Who are the clowns that picked Tyran Smith? :lol:

 

[McLovin]

Who are the clowns that picked Tyran Smith? :lol:

Its Tim Smith you fuggin fruitcake...

 

[ParraDude_Jay]

Whoever voted for Kimmorley give yourselves an uppercut, what a joke

 

[aussies1st]

Its not just one person its 4

So was it a farce when Kimmorley got selected in the Tri-nations last year when the sharks came 10th? He played very well for Austraila. Players should be selected on how they play not who they play for.

Its Tim Smith you fuggin fruitcake...

Thanks for pointing that one out for me buddy.

 

[shadow grinder]

kimmorley

 

[hybrid_tiger]

kimmorley

:lol::lol::lol:

 

[Phillips]

Barrett, followed by Scott Prince

Tim Smith is a LONG way off for playing for Australia

 

[Jono078]

It will either be Barrett, Kimmorley or Gower... And maybe Prince.

The thing is this:

If Johns had played, Locky would be 5/8th and Barrett would come off the bench. But Johns isn't playing so Barrett will go to 1/2 and locky to 5/8th.
I personally think that Barrett should go to 5/8th and Prince to 1/2
Why? Because locky has had his time in the sun and its no secret that he has been dropping in form over the last few rounds.
Thats my opinion. Chances of it happening is ZERO! The entire Australian team will be dominated by players from clubs that arn't even in the top 8 again proving that the Australian selection system is a joke and AGAIN seeing many Australian fans jumping ship to the Kiwis or the Pomms, or just not following at all (i can proudly say that i never watch Australian test matches unless it involves the Kiwi's; i couldn't give a rats arse over how well the 'favorites' go)

Prince by a country mile. Then Barrett.
