Fuck that is dumb not playing Fein at 7 almost means Marshall will go shit now. Moi Moi not starting is a massive fucking waste.
Australia should put some serious points on that side, McKendry isn't up to starting at that level and Eastwood's fitness is not up to scratch.
Seriously don't know how - FPN Matai Pritchard Sau Winterstein and a few others missed out. Especially when shit cunts like Matulino and Eastwood make it
Agreed. McKendry has been no where near as good as he was last year. Having said that, it does show some consistency. Apart from Foran at halfback.
Matulino's awesome. I didn't really rate him at first but he's been pretty consistant since moving to the front row, he's only going to get better too.
Yeah AWTA. I thought he was a bit over-rated when he got put into the team with huge raps as a second rower, but he looks a lot more at home in the front row. I rate him quite a bit now; I have heaps of time for both him and Packer.
As a unit they definitely are, but if you look at their players: Lance Hohaia, Matthew Duffie, Simon Mannering, Shaun Kenny-Dowall, Jason Nightingale, Benji Marshall (capt), Kieran Foran, Sam Rapira, Nathan Fien, Sam McKendry, Adam Blair, Bronson Harrison, Jeremy Smith. Interchange: Issac Luke, Ben Matulino, Fuifui Moimoi, Greg Eastwood. There are only five players in it I'd put in my combined NSW/NZ team tbh. And Jeremy Smith isn't even a definite if I'm taking Mannering as well. They just don't make as many completely retarded selections or fold under pressure as a unit. Brown would be there though. In he and Mannering, they have two fucking awesome genuine second rowers. They are like Creagh, but with balls.
