For the record. Dane Carlaw is seriously out of form, and playing in the QLD cup, so he wont be making the QLD team.

This is going to be a first for a while. Lets face it people, Orford wont get picked, and neither will Hill. It'll be Kimmorley/Gower and Barrett. And if Barrett is injured it'll Kimmorley and Gower in the halves. That will give the QLD team the better halves. Which ever way they go, Seymour / Lockyer or Prince / Lockyer, it's still better.

Barrett shits on Lockyer at rep level. If Barrett plays we have the better halfs. Barrett was born to wear the sky blue. If Barrett is out we will still have the better halfs. Ours can defend.

Your kidding? Barrett sh*ts on Lockyer at rep level. Barrett was born to wear the sky blue. Barrett and Kimmorley is a great halfs combo.

I guess there had to be someone who thought so that wasn't a Dragons fan.

He does though, did you watch origin 3 last year? Not to mention that he can tackle.

Lets see using your logic from the Johns topic, do I just start mentioning the media, greats and players who rate Lockyer as the best player in the game at all levels?

am i the only one who wouldnt be picking berrigan as a certainty for the centres spot???? I dunno about you but id much prefer tonga , bell , tate or even the option to move a playerl ike slater or sing there (since they have a stack of fullbac\wingers). I would push berrigan to bench, i dont think hes a good centre, and im sure some people will cut him up out wide tonight

Answer this. Can Lockyer tackle?

If he ever does become an Immortal they will have to have a picture of Carroll in the backgroun of Lockyers.

All forms and media mention Johns and Lockyer as two of the greatest players off all time.

But i've never heard them refer to Lockyer as the complete package. Johns is a very rare player who would be in the top 5 of almost every facet you could rate a player. But how about we don't get this thread of track. ;-)

Getting back to your claim of Barrett being better, obviously you got nothing on that front.

And on Lockyer being able to tackle. Yes he can tackle, he is improving in terms of what he was doing this time last year. The guy went from making 5 tackles a game to 25, and thats with Stagg and Carroll taking alot that come his way. Teams are targeting him big time in attack with big forwards, not because he can't tackle, but because they want to wear him down because he can take the game away from them with ease.

While I dont agree on you leaving Luke Superboot Covell and Paul Rock Gallen out, I applaud you for giving Kimmorley the captaincy, deserves it.

The logical choice for the captaincy with Buderus overlooked and Joey not fit ;-)

By the way Covell is no chance you must be doing all this pro-Covell crap for laugh.

Gallen is a good player but won't make Origin this year, but a possible future Blue.

Anyone who thinks Ryan Hoffman a) offers more b) is more talented and c) actually deserves a spot over Tupou should have their head examined. People are picking him in their side because of one or two off-loads vs the Broncos. Kind of reminds me of when Brad Meyers played for AUstralia because of one off-load in Origin.

Don't get me wrong, he's talented. But a few decent games doesn't get you ahead in the selection queue.
