I highly doubt there will be 5 Sharks in a NSW team at the moment :crazy:
1. Josh Dugan
2. Timana Tahu
3. Michael Jennings
4. Chris Lawrence
5. Brett Morris
6. Trent Barrett
7. Mitchell Pearce
8. Michael Weyman
9. John Morris
10. Kade Snowden
11. Greg Bird
12. Anthony Watmough
13. Paul Gallen
14. Kurt Gidley
15. Trent Waterhouse
16. Anthony Tupou
17. Tim Mannah
Back up back: Josh Morris
Back up half: Jamie Soward
Back up forward: Luke douglas
One prop on the bench = Epic Fail
He was miles better last year. Very good game against the Tigers considering the lack of opportunity but many times this year he has looked sluggish and off the pace.
I never said that I judged his form based on his fantasy points.
Assuming Hayne will be suspended.
1. Dugan
2. B Morris
3. J Morris
4. Lawrence
5. Jennings
6. Gidley
7. Pearce
8. Douglas
9. Farah
10. Weyman
11. Watmough
12. Heighington
13. Gallen
14. Snowden
15. Mannah
16. Lewis
17. Learoyd Lahrs
Lewis is probably good enough to be the starting 6, 11, 12 or 13 but he is the perfect utility. The Dogs are crap and choosing their 7 and 9 is geniused. Farah goggles off, how can you justify selecting the key playmakers of a side that haven't won in over a month? The Cowboys might be poor but Thurston always looks good for them. Kimmorley has looked alright but Ennis has been very quiet. Farah at 9 allows Gidley to play 6 because he becomes the second key playmaker that the 6 usually would be.
Snowden is probably a slightly better player than Douglas but the difference isn't wide enough to counter the fact that having Snowden come on after twenty would scare QLD. Mannah has been in undeniable form.
There is no way they will choose a side even close to this. But oh well.
Why? I have no personal vendetta with you Gronkathon but I must ask you why?
Why would you bother picking 4 props when we hardly have any besides Snowden, who are really any worth picking. we had 3 props play last game and maybe 1 played averaged, the other two crap. why would you bother wasting 4 spots on these guys? Watmough, Gallen etc can effectively play the role of the 4th prop if needed. They do more tackles, hit harder, and make more metres in attack, and size wise arent far off.
Cheers
Is this selection one you have included because you feel Gidley is the best option at 5/8 or have you slotted him in because you believe the selectors will have him there??
I suppose it's a bit of both.
After last night I'm not so sure though.
I think that as he's captain there is no way he won't be in the run on side. If I was the sole selector he would be on the bench. Lewis at 12 and Heighington out of the team.
