So much for Steve simpson playing for Ireland.

 

[Tommax25]

Why does steve simpson continuously get picked in these rep squads? I know its only top 46 but still come on, he isn't that flash these days

 

[hybrid_tiger]

I thought players going overseas weren't supposed to be picked?

Double standards when it suits.

 

[tiger_nick]

Justine Poore, Danny Buderus, Carl Webb and Brett White LMAO, rest deserve it.

I'm biased but think Chris Heighington is very unlucky

Oh God why is he in there? :?

Well past his best and even then I really dont think he was anything out of the box!
Must be the same selectors as NSW!

Heighington is better than 90% of the backrowers they've named.

Justine Poore

Happy to see Jenning and Farah.

 

[tiger_nick]

[bluesbreaker]

Buderus has sh*t all over Farah this year, as usual.

Agree with all of those except Buderus.

 

[Tommax25]

Based on this squad I would think for the top 24, barring injury and form reversals

Backs: Brett Stewart, Kurt Gidley, Hayne, Anasta, Thurston, Prince (if not fit than Cronk), Folau, Hodges, Inglis, Tate, Wing =11

Forwards: Smith, Glenn Stewart, Bird, Gallen, Watmough, Price, Laffranchi, Farah, Perry, Kite, Poore, Thaiday, Petero=13

My 17, although way too early, would be:
Stewart
Folau
Hodges
Inglis
Hayne
Anasta
Thurston
Petero
Smith
Price
Gallen
Laffranchi
Bird

Gidley
Kite
Thaiday
Perry

Am I the only one that noticed Heighno again was directly responsible for WT conceding two trys on the weekend? The only two through the middle of the park?

I honestly think he would be leading a list of most missed tackles leading to trys.

 

[bluesbreaker]

Prepare to be bombarded by angry Tiger Fans :lol:

Buderus:
From 11 games

819 metres
81 runs
6 line breaks
5 line break assists
31 tackle breaks
4 try assists

Farah:
From 13 games

685 metres
100 runs
6 line breaks
5 line break assists
36 tackle busts
6 try assists
2 40/20s

I'll take Buderus thanks.

 

[kia ora storm]
