Team for test match?

[Big Pete]

Last time would have been 1995 when all Super League players were excluded.

 

[vertigo]

so I dunno if he was still under contract...

Contracts end October 31st, so technically yes.

 

[Coxy]

Is Ben Hannant injured? If not he'll be there, surely

Wrist injury I think.

Last time would've been the ARL Australia during the split in 1997 where only ARL alligned players were eligable

[QUEENSLANDER]

Farah on the bench?! What a stupid move, but comes as no surprise with sheens as coach.

 

[Charmamba]

eh no Broncos.

 

[Big Pete]

I would have preferred Barba if only to blood him and to add excitement to what should otherwise be a nothing game but I can see why they've gone with Farah. He's more versatile than Barba who would be a liability in the front-line.

For the backs, T-Rex & Hoffman can both cover centres if need be and the entire backline is fairly versatile and can all play 1-5.

Not really a fan of Hoffman but credit where it's due his form was deserving and I'd give him the nod over Te'o. T-Rex gets in because of incumbency which I'm fine with.

 

[Bucking Beads]

T-Rex is an overrated Karmichael. Piss him off. Finally Myles get his reward.

Surprised to see Hoffman, thought his ankle was stuffed.

 

[Kimlo]

eh no Broncos.

For technical purposes Te'o counts as making his international debut for the Broncos if he's selected to play.

 

[pennywisealfie]

where is Alex Glenn???

 

[Charmamba]

Eh by my thoughts, if he isn't wearing the Broncos colours again he isn't a Bronco.

 

[Coxy]

Injured.

*Was waiting for it*

Did he go to another club? There is a difference between retiring and joining another club.
