Right on it there AB. I have been on the Pearce hate train since day 1! They have to go with Carney. 


Thurston has done nothing this season! He has looked very ordinary. Will this be the year he looses his crown as the best number 7 in the game? And old Dazza is a champion! But like an old prize winning racehorse running around in his last races i would think his best days are behind him. But you can never write off a champion!

chk, you have to get away from this line of thinking fed to you by fulton and daley, and the fulton worshippers at the Telegraph (rothfield, richie and kent) and hadley. They will sell you this bullshit to make it sound they made great decisions, but in reality they constantly failed.

Check the NSW record when they make these stupid decisions, and check out NSW record in the last 15 years without Johns or Fittler in the team.

What did einstein say about insanity? you pick the best player in each position. Simple

If you could take a proven world class player that can cover positions 1,6,7,9 with no problems at the drop of a hat you would be stupid not to my man. Gidley is a super sub!

Cronk is a better halfback than Thurston, but hopefully they pick JT and put Cronk on the bench again.

how many teams carry a team week to week? see post 27

nsw will get beaten up front, so 4 forwards on the bench is a must

Hirsh these are just my opinions. I havn't picked a paper up in 2weeks. I have no idea what b/s they talking there. Which is why i like to have my discussions in here.

I don't disagree with Farah. If it was up to me he would be there but i just don't seen the selectors doing that.

what the selectors will do and should do are 2 completely different things.

What they will do is something totally fucking stupid.

stuart + fulton = one giant fuckup

snowden ain;t all that good, He got picked last year due to a lack of options, so people assume he must be good

would like to see what tolman does oveer the next month. Like Mannah, but don;t think he is hard enough.

want a 50 tackle guy in the backrow, an 80 minute guy who will be in every play

can we ignore the rules like qld do? they pick nz players, png players, nsw players, so can we pick the worlds best foward? gareth ellis in the 2nd row

A Tolman


He is too small and weak,gets absolutely destroyed every time he hits it up,just because someone does a lot of work doesn't make them good.


A Tolman > Younger version of N Hindmarsh(Who is one of the worst players in the NRL)





Tolman hitting it up in origin
