Tounge robbed, what a joke...

 

[chaminda_00]

Hodgson should play fullback for NSW now...

Hornby is a good chance, should be a good battle between them in City/Country.

Honestly, other than Fitizgibbon and Kite (and Ryan possibly), I can't see anyone making the NSW team.

 

[Simon]

considering theres 13 Australian players likely to make the NSW team this is a pretty useless match...

City by plenty...

 

[BoyBrumby]

It's "question from largely clueless Pom" time:

Why is NSW's city/country a big (well biggish) deal, but not so for QLD?

Serent? I can't work out for the life of me who he means.

 

[Burpey]

Dykes robbed.

mitchell sargent...

 

[Simon]

Dykes robbed.

alan tongue has got a bit more to be upset about, but with Priddis in doubt hes still some chance of a call up...

dykes looks to have picked up an injury anyway...

 

[Craig]

You're kinda missing my point there, I meant why?

Probably because QLD doesn't need one and I don't think QLD has the depth for such a match?

 

[Simon]

they've had the game for ever really, it used to mean much cause country really was country, thats when players got picked for Australia when they played bush footy, these days its considered somewhat of an origin selection trial...

 

[Simon]

Probably because QLD doesn't need one and I don't think QLD has the depth for such a match?

i think they do, its just useless, im pretty sure if there wasnt so much tradition and history in the NSW city v country they wouldnt bother...

Mitchell Sergent

Surely he has to fail a fitness test before they can rule him out due to injury. Plain fact is he was robbed.

maybe selectors gave Sharks officials a call and they said he would be out, thats what happened with Bailey for the test match, they didnt even bother to name him...

in all honesty though Dykes has been good for 3 weeks, im not sure it can guarantee you a rep jersey...
