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...

He's been good all season in my opinion and at least deserves a run in City-Country.

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

Why is NSW's city/country a big (well biggish) deal, but not so for QLD?
Click to expand...
Both states still have a city v country match, however the reason why the NSW one is so prominent is becauase there are so many NSW players playing in the NRL which is the old NSWRL competition. Most of the 'best' Qld players play in the NRL and as there isn't that many Qlders going around the NRL compared to NSWelshman there is no real need for a City v Country of Qld NRL representitives and the Qld side is picked from players in the NRL, however the QRL still do have a city v country for Queensland cup players.

I think with the introduction of a third team to Qld for next season there could well be a need for a Qld city v country game to select teams with more Qld talent running around.

I used to rate Sculthorpe, but that was a few years back and i haven't seen him for a while...

He's been injured. Never the same again sort of injured. He's still decent, but now just a financial burden. We could use his 20/20 spot on someone who brings something new to the club.

With relation to the article Gasiner got more chance of playing 5/8 then Lyon.

Why? Burpey admitted to me on msn that Gasnier's nowhere near as effective at 5/8. Why compromise a strength when you have Lyon, who's played 5/8 for St Helens once or twice with some reasonable success.

A couple of Points.. Very happy for Hodgo, i hope he gets the NSW job, he deserves it...

Russell Smith should go back to England.... Seriously does this guy know the rules?? Both teams had some very dodgy calls, arrrghhh bring back Mogshen Jadwat he was 1000times better then this clown...

The City and Country teams both had a few shocks...
Brett White from Melbourne has been decent but not that great.. I thought Toddy Payten would've got a spot but he didnt play that well today.. Brett Finch and Anasta are a Joke they should never see rep footy.. Happy for Lance Thompson, he deserves his spot and i think he could be a bolter for Origin this year..

I also agree with Simon, City will win this game by miles... Country looks very very ordinary...

:laugh:


We don't want him. He's yours now.



Edit: As a matter of fact, we'll take him back if you take Ashley Klown back off our hands.

Once or twice only reasonably? Now I really hope it's just a wild rumour.

Tragic Passing of Matt Brown
Written by Wests Football Club
Sunday, 07 May 2006
Western Suburbs is in mourning for the loss of Magpies Jersey Flegg player Matt Brown. Matt died tragically as the result of an accident on Friday evening. Matt was returning to his home in Harden in country NSW at the time of the accident.

Everyone at Western Suburbs' thoughts are with the Brown family and Matt's friends in this time of grief.

Wests are making arrangements to ensure the club is appropriately represented at Matt's funeral. Counselling and travel assistance will be offered to Matt's team mates to allow them to attend the funeral and deal with the loss of their team mate. More details will be published when they become available.

You know, the reasonable bit I just put in so people wouldn't think I was blowing his trumpet too much again. He actually won a game at Warrington with his kick in the last minute of the game, which Keiron Cunningham scored from.
