Should be in in front of Shillington,Gallen & Lewis it stinks OH I forgot he is now a Souths player tha's why McCarthy has to answer for this bungle remember back in 1967 when he was omitted from the Kangaroos and they gave his spot to that useless Goldspink and the media went ape,They media even payed for him to go over & follow the tour. You have a short memory Bobby Boy.

i was very surprised he wasnt in the team especially consndering some of the guys that did somehow make it. There is no way Shilington should have made the squad ahead of Taylor. Taylor single-handedly dragged the broncos into the semis and tore apart countless teams for the second half of the year. Shillington hardly did a thing all year. Im sick of Souths being snubbed from rep duties.

To be fair I think there is a few guys that should be there before Taylor. But I do think that Taylor should have been picked before Shillington.

Only Sutto and Crocker made it to the train-on squad.

Im pleased Taylor didnt make it. Gives him something to strive for next year.

Its an obvious rip-off for him.

Seems like Sheensy doesnt want to chance his arm with only 25 spots available.

With the predicted injuries and send-offs, he has to get some players to cover 2 or 3 spots.

Seems that Taylor would have fitted the bill.

He can play any forward possie he is given and cover 2 spots in centres if required.

You know I wouldnt be surprised to see him at lock next year.

For a big strong guy, he has some astonishing zip. And he wants to run free. Thats him in his element, bursting through tackles, challenging backs out wide. He loves it and we love watching him do it.

"Born Free" thats big Dave.

He will find the love, respect and friendship at our club especially endearing and heart-warming.

We are not just a club, its like a big family. Dysfunctional at times, sure, but we are all together when it really counts.

He will enjoy not being treated as just another "assett" to squeeze wealth from. A whole new and richly furfilling world awaits him.

By joining Souths he has made the best decision a player can make.

Dave Taylor is in no way deserving of an Austrlian jersey right now.

Having said that i think its incredibly pathetic that Shillington and White have been selected.

Brett White is soft he spends more time on his back than nay other prop, im surprised his back isnt permanantly green.

He shouldn't have been there obviously. Whilst White and a few others shouldn't be there, players like Matt Scott, Nate Myles, Ash Harrison would all deserve a spot ahead of Taylor. Next year if he keeps his head down and works hard, he's every chance to make it in the QLD squad.

You guys obviously have never seen Shillington play, or you wouldn't have made such ridiculous comments.

i have watched plenty of games this year, and plenty of canberra games... he is decent, but there is a reason why the consensus on shillington beating players like taylor is a negative one...

The Poms, Kiwis and French made it known they did want Big Dave in the Australian team.
