i have a horrible feeling Deans went with Dennis at MMM's expense also I think we must pick a 6:2 bench. Our backline players are generally pretty versatile so we could get away with a halfback and 1 more. I reckon Michael Hooper could play centre at a stretch!

I’m hoping Robbie goes with the following team for the first test:- 1. Robinson 2. Moore 3. Slipper 4. Horwill 5. Douglas 6. Mowen (can move to 8) 7. Gill 8. Palu (50 minutes) 9. Genia 10. JOC (James O'Connor) (back-up 12, 14, 15) 11. Ioane 12. Lilo (Back up 10) 13. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) (back up 11, 14, 15) 14. Folau...

Not much between Badger and Tomane. HB performed very well against England last year so he might get the nod.

I was simply making light of your comment which came across as defeatist. Not sure if that was by design or not, but that is certainly how I read your comment.

Sure they'll be more lineouts than scrums, but the latter will be a significant source of penalties. The only penalties coming form the lineout will be from a resulting maul and in that respect it is also important to have big bodies to defend a rolling maul, as well as jumpers. For the same...

Fuck mate should we even bother turning up?

Nice post RedsHappy. Just on your comment regarding the Lions Series failing to attract many new fans, I actually think the best thing the ARU could have done to promote the series to casual fans or fans from other codes was to select Folau. I think there''ll be a lot of rugby league fans tuning...

I don't understand why people are underrating Timani's potential impact. He was my man of the match in the second game against the All Blacks last year. Absolutely F'd people in the A. If that doesn't prove he's up to Test level rugby I don't want what will.

This seems to be a trait of Australian props in general. They can scrum when they put their mind to it but as soon as they lose concentration everything turns to shit.

I believe I read a comment from Kafer in an article on the weekend which suggested Palmer is carrying an injury. Can anyone enlighten us? If its true, I would say that is the reason we has not yet been chosen and he will be the final prop added to the group.

Hopefully we get Lilo at inside centre. A JOC (James O'Connor)/Lilo 10/12 could be pretty dynamic

Aww what a touching moment. Biggsy can I suggest perhaps change your profile pic from this to this :D

Perhaps we could open up a new Forum titled "Quade Cooper: Best thing since Jesus or worst things since Hitler?"

Well technically he's calling their hats thick ;) but yes the comment was a bit snide

I wish people on this board would move on from the fact that Cooper is not going to be Deans' first choice flyhalf. A bunch of whinging bitches. Can we have a gentlemen's agreement to let it rest for the next two months, otherwise its going to be a long series. I still think Cooper might...

Yeh but my point was that we only need one guy covering 6/lock and that should be MMM if he's fit. Why not just leave both Dennis and MMM out of the squad and then add one in the final 6? If MMM is chosen Dennis' selection becomes superfluous and he wont get 1 minute of rugby.

This squad is pretty much what I expected to see. I have no major issues with anyone chosen, save to say I have the following comments:- - Horne is pretty lucky to be in the squad but has been in decent form lately and obviously suits Deans’ game plan. I’m wondering whether he’s in at...

I think the answer is pretty simple. Deans has already chosen Burgess as the back up 9. He will surely join the squad when he returns to Australia

Id be surprised if cooper actually misses out on being in the final squad.

I expect TPN will still be there for the lions series. He has more than a month to recover
