Anzac Test

[Bucking Beads]

Well at least the selection of Tamou means Galloway won't be in the team.

 

[Big Pete]

I can't wait to see Farah get the nod before Gillett.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Taylor has been picked apparently. That would rule out Gillett IMO.

Taylor has been picked apparently. That would rule out Gillett IMO.

Taylor had a good game today... albeit in a losing side.

I wouldn't be unhappy if he was picked.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Andrew Voss seems to think Gillett is in the side as well.

[Ari Gold]

So basically, everyone decided NSW were such poor opposition that they decided to schedule a QLD v NZ match instead.

 

[dukey]

That's a pretty good side.

 

[Big Pete]

12 Qlders in total.

13 if you include Gillett.

 

[Bucking Beads]

I don't like it at all. Dave Taylor starting second rower? Nah that ain't right. Boyd should not be anywhere near this side the way he has been playing this year. Halfback on the bench is a waste of time as well.

 

[jarro65]

That's a pretty good side.

It sure is.

 

[Jeba]

Dammit I hate when I cheer for a side that has Watmough in it.

[Ari Gold]

What the hell? Taumalolo?

 

[Big Pete]

Tamou and Taumalolo selections scream politics.

 

[Foordy]

Hannant should be starting, Taylor to the bench, Gallen to back row, Watmough out

 

[Foordy]

What the hell? Taumalolo?

He decided to make himself available for NZ, I reckon NZ decided to select him to lock him in to prevent a Tamou style backflip

 

[Fozz]

Good to see the Hoff will make his Test debut.
