at Howard getting booed. Happened after State of Origin 3 aswell.

Inglis won the Clive Churchill, no surprise really.

 

[Prince EWS]

Dire.

Cooper Cronk not a bad looker ITBT.

So gutted right now. Never really expected to win but man I was hoping we could play a lot better then that. I guess in the end we only played as well as Melbourne let us play. Man our defence was crap all game, we had nothing in attack and our kicking was dire to say the least. Matt Orford once again falls to peices when his team needed. Really should have had Burns off the bench.

Glad that Norths lost Reggies though, atleast some thing came out of today.

Inglis for the Aussie number 6 jumper as well. He might not be the best 5/8 week in week out but when the games on the line he can win you games. With no Thurston or Lockyer you need someone there that can change a game. Bird or Anasta would be servicable at best.

Inglis at fullback imo. Anasta deserves the #6.

Well I just can't wait to get home and watch the game that has been taped for me later this week.

Fantastic game from the Storm, they never really gave Manly a sniff. Inglis had a blinder, and last night was proof of how much his defence has improved with a year at 5/8. I still don't think he's a 5/8 though, and i'm almost certain he never will be. Here's to hoping he gets the no.1 on his back next year, move Slater onto the wing imo.

Brett White has been charged with eye gouging on Brett Stewart, I thought it looked pretty suspect at the time. Plain as day also.

Brett White is nothing more than a scumbag. Hope he goes for plenty.

Shocking selections in the Kangaroos teams. Stewart & Cronk should most definitely NOT!!!!!!!!!! be there. Bowen & Slater >>>>> Stewart, & Prince >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Cronk. I'd argue Bird shouldn't be there, but there really isn't any other options due to injury sadly...

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Disgusted by the team, that's all I have to say.

Can't find a confirmed team at either of those links.

Reckon Bowen unlucky tbh especially with the halves combination out there. Can't beleive both Stewart and Gidley made it infront of him tbh, he should have atleast made the bench ahead of Gidley.

Prince did nothing special all season and Cronk knows how to get the most out of gun attacking options out wide, so IMO it was a good selection. Bird over Anasta, happy with that TBH. Reckon Price should have started over Kite, but i can't see it making much difference Price will get more gametime off the bench anyway

Brett Stewart (Manly), Greg Inglis (Melbourne), Mark Gasnier (St George Illawarra), Justin Hodges (Brisbane), Jarryd Hayne (Parramatta), Greg Bird (Sharks), Cooper Cronk (Melbourne), Brent Kite (Manly), Cameron Smith (captain, Melbourne), Petero Civoniceva (Brisbane), Nathan Hindmarsh (Parramatta), Ryan Hoffman (Melbourne), Paul Gallen (Sharks). Interchange: Kurt Gidley (Newcastle), Willie Mason (Bulldogs), Steve Price (NZ Warriors), Michael Crocker (Melbourne).

 

[Mister Wright]

Can't believe Prince hasn't been selected. Should have been a shoe-in after injury to Thurston. Price he pays for his team not making the 8.

TBPH this would have to one of worst Australian sides i've ever seen since i started watching Rugby League (about 92). And I don't think the likes of Bowen or Price would have changed that. Just a very poor side, still should be too much NZ with no real halves combo.

Any side with Hodges in it is gun IMO.
