The Crimes article also mentions that Lonergan is signed for next year......... What's the word on Tom Banks' contract status? Surely we have him locked in?

There's a whole lot of conjecture floating around............ There isn't really any solid information to back up those claims though.

:rolleyes:

Alan Jones is so loose with his 'facts' that it's really not worth giving him the time...........

Thanks to Oztimmay in the Rebels thread........ This contradicts the conspiracy theories coming from the west: http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/rugby/channel-seven-to-broadcast-shute-shield-grand-final-live-on-main-channel/news-story/62d1e97b4f6eaf6c1128e5747c597600

Which teams have yet to announce their squad? Is it just the Sydney teams?

Is there a purpose to your childishness?

Y He's been named in the Perth Spirit squad.........

Last year........ yes. Noa fared slightly better but after all the hype surrounding Penca he just wasn't up to it.. But even my rusted on Queanbeyan old boy of a Father was saying the same thing about him - great club player, but he doesn't have what it takes to make it at higher levels.

Possibly, but in Wests case one of their props is the 38 year old Coutts..........

For the first time ever we seem to be lacking in 7's, hence why I shifted Cusack there.......... We have plenty of 6/8's so I think we'll have to accommodate one of them at 7, and Cusack might be the best option of the bunch. There's probably a better chance that they'll shift...

Anyways, something a bit more constructive....... possible lineup: 1. Sione 2. Abel 3. Makin 4. Enever 5. Carter 6. Hyne 7. Cusack 8. Valetini / Fakosilea 9. Powell / Lonergan 10. Hawera 11. Dargaville 12. JJH 13. Kuridrani / Ikitau 14. Taliauli 15. Banks 16. Fainga'a 17. 18. 19. Swain 20...

But the same people complained about their numbers when they're going through the JID nearly undefeated and winning the comp in recent years.......... It's possible that they may be over represented by a couple of players this year, but it's hard to argue against the bulk of their selections...

He and Phipps can fight it out for that title..........

There have been other top performing club players like Penca and OJ Noa who when given the opportunity were shown up not to be good enough for NRC......... maybe the selectors don't think that highly of Kaino? Who knows? The Oakman Hunt boys have stepped up in the past (they were strong...

The Brumbies cut him, so he'll likely head west.........

I don't know, but some players excel in club rugby but aren't quite good enough to reach that next level........... Dan Penca comes to mind.

They should've sent Carter or Arnold elsewhere........ Enever needs to be starting in the NRC. Edit: forgot that Arnold is unlikely to play in the NRC, so it really doesn't matter.

Did Braveheart say that?

Rumors are not facts though.........
