Tipping Ladder:
6 was again the highest score this week, with 4 people (Simon, Luffy, Ausage & *99) taking home a bonus point, with the lowest score for the round being 3 by Vic & Blewy. King Damo & Burgey forgot their tips and therefore also only get the 3.
With only 4 NRL games next weekend, did people want to include Aust v NZ and City v Country matches as well? Will give everyone 48 hours to respond.

Happy either way.

Don't really mind, but imo City/Country will be a toss up. No real way of knowing how the two teams will gel.
Don't really get into the whole City/Country thing. I don't think there's as much passion in these matches from fans, and the passion from the players comes from competing for an origin spot imo. Wouldn't be disappointed if they scrapped it personally.

Price and Petero are our best props hands down, Bailey hasnt played for Australia for a couple of years but has been in good form. I really dont see the problem.

Can't argue with the fact that Price and Petrol are the 2 best Props we have, however when they go it will be a big difference to the Aussie side.. If the selectors consider Brent Kite as one of the top 4 then we are in trouble..
Bailey has been good this year but in all seriousness hasnt had a injury free season for a few years now, and i think his old legs are catchin up with him....

Why though, it just doesn't make sense. The 3 of them are clearly (imo, and obviously in the opinion of the selectors) the best 3 props Australia has, and by veering away from them, you're only going to weaken the teams forward pack. Who would you suggest they pick?
Ausage

Who would you play instead?
Like others I don't see how you could not select Price and Petero.

We have the players to cover, most props dont mature and reach their pick till around the age of 26-28.
There are several such as Ben Hannant, Nick Kenny, Keith Galloway, Tim Grant, Michael Weyman and Justin Poore to name a few that are improving by the day.
Also reckon Tim Mannah from Parramatta will be right up there in a few years.

Thaiday, O'Donnell and Creagh all back rowers.
Weyman needs more than 4 good games in a row to make the test team. He doesnt have a cool nickname like "The Wolfman" so he needs to put in performances over time to get in there. Hannant imo probably would have been next prop picked.
