You missed Benji Marshall Brumby

Great player, but I've got a family-sized soft spot for Jase Smith & I'd probably still take Locky over Benji, just.

 

[Simon]

Just because he's a Blue. He's better than frikkin' Seymour, who, without Lockyer would be likely to lead the team to a loss against the bye.

Seymour's best games for brisbane have generally come when Lockyer wasnt playing, most noteably against Canberra last year...

 

[Burpey]

Orford is a good player, but there are quite a few halfbacks ahead of him for mine.

 

[Simon]

ive come around to Orford in the last few hours, mainly cause id like Queensland to win the origin series, so i can see no problem with the blues picking him...

Hated

1. Karmichael Hunt

why? because he was picked for australia?

i dont get why so many people are holding a grudge against him because the selectors chose him in the team...

I didn't mean to post that...I've included the rest of the team so it should become clearer.

 

[Burpey]

My Most Liked team would just about be the whole Dragons team, and I can't be bothered doing one with non-Dragons right now.

I don't hate Hunt (how could I, I'm a Broncos fan), but it's hard not to be a bit offended when he turns down an opportunity to play for your country.

he only turned don the chance to play for NZ because he feels he is an Australian, i respect that, unlike those kiwi guys like webb and cayless who chose NZ just for the chance to play rep football...
when hunt made the choice to mae his self eligible for Australia he knew it may have been many years if ever before he got his chance to play rep football, nothing wrong with that if u ask me....

 

[Craig]

Well Webb did take out New Zealand citizinship so he I guess he can consider himself a Kiwi.

he only did that so he could play for NZ!

 

[Craig]

Well maybe so, but at least he goes out there wanting to play for them and plays well (ie his last Test for them) which is more then what can be asked.

Did you feel the same way about Richard Swain?

i dont have anything against these guys for doing this, im just making a point because its hypocritical for everyone to have a go at Hunt for playing for Australia when theres all these kiwi's doing the same...

 

[Craig]

You didn't answer ym question about Swain though, did you feel he went offto play for New Zealand probably because he wouldn't of got any chance of playing rep footy here>

i did answer it actually

i dont have anything against these guys for doing this

its just hypocritical for people to say crap like "for the good of international football" and things like that, if NZ trully are the best team like they are claiming they shouldnt need a leg up anymore...
