  2. Old Mate M Perry

    Thurston should be right for the Four Nations IIRC.
     
  3. Marto RK Fittaman

    Where's Jamie Soward lad?
     
  4. Lukic L Popovic

    At home, drinking light beers after a depressing choke in the prelims lad.
     
  5. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Get him in for Cronk if he's right then. Don't see the need for him to play if he's half-baked though; I'd only play him if he was 100% fit.

    Friend.
     
  8. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Nah St George will win the grand final and Soward, Creagh, Cooper, Scott and some even more random **** like Costigan will be there. **** I hate how the Australian team is picked based on the ****ing finals series.
     
  9. Lukic L Popovic

    They won't.

    Avatar bet me.
     
  10. Old Mate M Perry

    Half-baked. :lol:!

    Not much to disagree with, you've summed it up close to perfectly. <!-- edit note -->

  13. Cribbage RG Cribb

    I wasn't actually saying they would; it was just an example.

    There will be a couple of completely random ****s in there from whichever teams wins though. I hope it's Gold Coast tbh because I don't think the selectors would throw in anything more strange than Laffranchi or Friend and they'd be fine.
     
  14. Cribbage RG Cribb

    I stole the thread for Talking League. Other players thrown up over there were:

    Michael Gordon
    Todd Carney
    Ben Creagh
    Tom Learoyd Lahrs
    Kade Snowden
    Chris Heighington
    Chris Lawrence

    And no, Heighington and Lawrence weren't even from a Tigers fan.
     
  15. Lukic L Popovic

    TLL and Carney are decent picks.
     
  16. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Yeah I'd probably take Carney over Gidley if he'd played Origin and not failed, or at least played a bit of hooker or something in the last few years in case he was picked on the bench. Gidley's efforts at dummy half in Origin III really surprised me.
     
  17. AVA T Delonge

    I think it surprised everyone. :p
     
  18. Lukic L Popovic

    **** it, not risking the cockblock.
     
  19. Cribbage RG Cribb

  20. Fungus K Fung

    Agree. :p
