    Hannant has proven more in origin than Weyman afaic. And on top of that, has far more credit on the board in the NRL.
    Gallen has been shown up time and time again in origin. Every player would play better in tests than they do in origin because it is an easier competition.
    And finally, Tonga is awesome. The end :p

    **** off Ged I'm sick of your dribble. Picking Qlders because they've won is just the same as picking players from whichever team wins the comp because they won. It's why David Williams/Brett White etc have played for Australia.

    They have both done absolutely nothing, and I think Weyman offers a lot more as a bench option. If I wanted another starting prop, I would go for Hannant.

    Yeah, but this isn't Origin. I think Gallen's likely to provide more in Tests than Harrison. I'm not going to pick Harrison anyway even though I think Gallen would offer more just because Harrison's done more in Origin; that's just ridiculous. It's Test football, so if someone's done well in Tests before, it should count for a lot. I accept the argument that Origin's a higher standard, but the ability to perform in a competition of a higher standard isn't really relevant.

    Haha yeah and my post was the bait post...

    Yeah indeed. My team has twelve Queenslanders in it and he still whinged.

    I meant NSW, not St George. He's good for St George, he'll be good for Australia.

    I'd liken it more to the individual Qld players all being superior. :p I'll admit bias though. I've got no great problem with NSW getting the wing spot, a bench backrow spot, a bench front row spot and the bench utility.

    I was thinking of St.George winning the comp as I posted that. At least Boyd will get a spot that way. They'll just play him at centre or something even more retarded. Soward will be the halfback.

    Morris should get a wing spot, has never done anything wrong playing for Australia. The origin series shouldnt count IMO.

    Nah, Hayne has to be there. Either Boyd or Morris to make way.

  13. Alec AD Funkotron

    This thread isn't about who will be there. Most people agree that Hayne shouldn't be anywhere near the wings.

    Calls like this is why the Australian side gives me the shits sometimes. Origin should count more so than anything.

    Trying to think of who'll be in the PM's 17. Wonder if they'll pick Melbourne players.

    Broncos would need to win the Premiership for him to get in.

    DWTA. You failed to consider that being a tool has a negative impact on a side, possibly greater than the absolute impact of the Tool-ish player. Seeing as being from NSW guarantees a person classification as a tool unless granted exemption from a relevant QLD authority, picking a NSW team is always detrimental to a team. Seeing as you picked Multiple NSWelshman in your side, you couldn't possible have picked the best side.
