great team

[Paul]

What does prince have to do to get into this team. he's been head and shoulders above thurston all year and Lockyer has played ONE full game (and was a passenger for the majority of it). I would of had a Thurston/Prince halves with them alternating

and Carl webb???? WTF give me a break

[RLfan]

Really? Paul Gallen. Since when does playing average and getting suspended earn you an Australian jersey?

Suppose Ricky Stuart is the coach. Laffranchi, Minichello, Thaiday, Glenn Stewart and Johnson have all benn playing 100x better then him. Gallen isn't even incumbent.

Otherwise good team.

[Capital_Shark]

Thurston was always gonna be at 7 and Lockyer at 6.

What does Prince need to do to make the team? There is nothing he can do but wait. Wait for Locky to retire from rep footy 1 of the 2 get injured.

Webb and Hoffman are ridiculous selections.

[Hoppy2007Dragons]

Carl Webb?????????????how did that powederpuff get a bench spot, when u have players like Laffranchi playing his heart out and can fill both prop and second row.

But all in all its a good squad a very potent backline, if both gasnier and hodges fire, you can see Falou and inglis getting a lot of ball from impossible offloads.

I'm just waiting for the city vs country team

[Chaos]

I'm also surprised with Webb's inclusion but it's an awesome side and I can't see them getting beat.

[TITAN PETE]

What a great decision to award Slater with the fullback job but how does the Current no1 Player in the game in Prince miss a start but that was almost expected so can someone tell me how Laffranchi coudn't make the 17 ahead of Hoffman,Webb or Gallen that is absolute Bullsh#t
How did Kite & Webb get a start ahead of Hannant

Even you Capitol Shark were probably shocked to see Gallen grab a spot but i think we can see how much say Ricky Stuart has in the selections he must have a dislike for the Titans but as the saying goes "If you can't Beat Em Hate Em" & "Don't Pick Em"

[TITAN PETE]

I'm also surprised with Webb's inclusion but it's an awesome side and I can't see them getting beat.

The Titans would beat them , oh yeah we just did

[Grimmace]

How did Webb and Kite get in the side........ even Ryles has been in better form, surely we arent that short on front rowers.

When choosing the side...front row was the hardest to pick...no-one stands out.

[Timmy Titans]

Now really what does prince need to do

Lockyer at halves

Although it isn't as bad as the last Australian team

[DIEHARD]

It's a pretty damn good team over all.

But Prince and Laffranchi missing is a disgrace!

I have no idea how Webb and Kite got in.

They need to start picking the Aussie team on for. The best players in the best and toughest football competition in the world. The Kangaroos would have it over the cricket and union if it was picked on form!

Prnce missing is such a disgrace! How exciting would it be if they actually picked the side on form!!

Of course I think the captain should be offered more leeway.

[Big J]

I'm glad I am not the only one who think that Brent Kite is a joke. How he consistently gets picked for rep teams is beyond me.

A couple of times I've watched Manly play and had to ask my mate (who is a Manly supporter) if he is even on the field?? If there isn't 10 better front rowers in the game at the moment I'll give it away...
