The Selectors want reliable players, not ones that play well after a good kick up the backside at half time.
We are selecting a team to take on the Darkness Schools, not the All Canada Schools Team.
Quite agree. The fact was when the it really mattered the NSW 2s were down 38-0 . Game was over by half time. Can't read much into the second half in my opinion.
Surely you can't be serious. Nsw2 led act comfortably until act staged a come back and scored on full time. They dominated qld1 apart from a 5 minute period when qld scored 2 tries to go ahead. They comfortably put wa away. They play off for 1st and 2nd, and you're suggesting that the team selected includes 6 players who played off for 5th and 6th, against only 1 from nsw2 who's inclusion ahead of nucifora from qld1, who for mine was actually the best 9, is strange at best, and you think that's the team to take on the might of the NZ schools? You must have been a selector to try and justify that. I am not pushing for nsw2, quite the contrary, although there were a couple there who were great and have missed out. Boys like Hewatt and Pritchard and Nucifora and Fox from Qld would feel just as hard done by. The debate over they're short a 15 and a lock also confuses me? Porter outstanding, and there were plenty of very strong locks out there as well. So why they are delaying the next 3 smells even more political than what has been served up already.
