ARL: Kangaroos team discussion

[Chaos]

Ricky Stuart is an idiot. I have always believed that. Look at what he said:

"I personally don't think the Broncos' results have got anything to do with those individuals we've picked. Those individuals are going OK."

They are going OK? What about all the other players who are playing FANTASTICALLY!

I think Ricky Stuart has a great football mind and to have always believed he is an idoit would be a bias point of view....not a logical one.

I doubt the selectors would be choosing a test side this early in the season based mainly on current form.

[Go_The_Doggies]

This team was not picked on form because there is no way Tate should be picked for the Broncos never mind Australia he has been very average this season with Petro not far behind him.

If Bowen couldn't make the team on his current form he'll never make the green & gold, it must hurt when you are being kept out of the side by a KIWI & again where is Shrek he should have atleast been on the bench, Tupou must have been picked on form from 3 years ago.

Oi.
Karmichael is not a Kiwi. He is an Aussie.
Even though the rest of his family is Kiwi. :\
We don't need him.

We have a chance to be something a lot more than the Wallabies or the Australian cricket team. A true representative Australian side...

Whats wrong with the Australian cricket side? :\

steeler tates is one of the best centers in the game a might fine tackle y would u have a problem wif him

[Robbie_Dee]

well ATM he is playing like a pile of **** on toast. Every other centre in the game is more deserved of a test jumper than him ATM. On his day, i very much agree with you. but ATM, i just can't see the logic behind picking him for AUSTRALIA!

I guess you missed Tate's game on Friday night.

[Dakink]

Tupou? He has been average in a bad team...

I wouldnt have him, Berrigan or Tate any where near the team.,

Shrek was really hard done by.

Hunt though I think has been going OK. I would have loved to see Bowen take Berrigans spot.

[TITANS007]

Berro definately didn't deserve his spot, and if they insist on giving Bowen's deserved jersey to khunt, then he should have at least taken Berro's spot as a utility.

Steve Price should have made that squad, he is playing out of his skin!

[Go_The_Doggies]

Steve Price should have made that squad, he is playing out of his skin!

Steve Price always plays out of his skin, he hardly ever has a bad game.
Do the Australian selectors not watch the Warriors games? :\

[Dakink]

I rate PRicey but I wouldnt have him in my National team any more.

[Steelers]

Steve Price always plays out of his skin, he hardly ever has a bad game.
Do the Australian selectors not watch the Warriors games? :\

The only games the Aussie selectors watch are the archives from 2004-2006.

[Rabbitohs-07]

Ah, get Tate out of there and get King out of there jesus crist the selectors are stuffed in the head.

'Selectors have shown faith in a Brisbane side down on confidence and although Darren Lockyer, Petero Civoniceva, Justin Hodges and Karmichael Hunt were never in doubt, Brent Tate and Shaun Berrigan are lucky to retain their spots.'

Thats from Steelers article he posted...

What do they mean Hunt was never in doubt? stupid Media.

[Cowboy Titan]

This is an email I sent to the QRL this afternoon. I wanted to send it to the ARL but couldn't find an email address.

I would like to send this to the ARL but they don?t have contact details on their web site.

I am writing to advise that I will not be attending the Anzac Test match as I cannot support an Australian team made up of a number of players that are currently in very poor form. I was planning to buy tickets today but opted not to due to the stunning inclusions in the Test team.

As League fans, we want to see the best possible team selected each week no matter what the occasion.

By selecting poorly performed players, the selectors are creating an injustice to us fans who want to see the best players out on the field and also to the players who have truly earned the right to be there based on their outstanding performances this year.

The fact that 65% of the team come from teams currently in the bottom half of the ladder makes a mockery of the reason for selecting a Test side ? to see the best players pitted against the best players from another country.

I regularly attend NRL games (4 so far this year) and Origin but I can?t bring myself to pay out the money to go and see a 2nd rate Australian team playing.

Well it was expected like the day and night... but it is still a load of CRAP.

How do 6 Broncos and 1 Rooster get into that side... it is a joke.

Here is what I think of the side

1 Karmichael Hunt- Nope, should be Bowen
2 Brent Tate- Nope, should be Bell
3 Jamie Lyon
4 Justin Hodges
5 Matt King- Lucky to have this spot.
6 Darren Lockyer (c)
7 Johnathan Thurston
8 Brent Kite
9 Cameron Smith
10 Petero Civoniceva- Nope, Luke Bailey should be here
11 Willie Mason
12 Nathan Hindmarsh
13 Andrew Ryan

Interchange

14 Luke Bailey- Petero should be here, or even Mark O'Meley
15 Shaun Berrigan- Nope, I say give this spot to Steven Price or Greg Bird
16 Steve Simpson
17 Anthony Tupou- WTF, Monaghan and Maitua are more deserving, even Buderus.

I am not impressed, and good on you CT for not going because this is an absolute farce... I'll still support Australia, can't stop me there, but I ain't impressed at all.
