That was a joke. I would definitely have picked Lealiifano too.
It was based on Dumbledore's post questioning what the Deans bashers will pick on now that McCabe hasn't been selected.

I think your question about whether Deans knows how to use Lilo or not, is impossible to be answered until after the match,having never played for Deans before.You may be right but we will know after Saturday,not before.
At least it should be a reasonably popular selection.

I hope that's the same team for the Melboune test.........

Going by the reports that the XV has been named
Anyone wanna take a stab at jersey 16-22?
5F/2B combo
1B being Beale, I think Phips misses out and they bring in someone who's gonna add something to the backline.
Would be interested to hear what everyone thinks would be the 5 FWD breakdown on the bench.

It is 8 reserves now.
Word has it that the bench is Kepu, Slipper, Fainga'a, Gill, Simmons, Phipps, Beale, McCabe.
There is some discussion of it in the thread about the 1st test in the Rugby Matches forum.
I think the only surprise is Simmons instead of MMM.

Did I say he didn't know how to use him or that he was the wrong choice?We will have to wait until the first test to find out the answer to both those questions and I quite clearly said Lilo is the right option. No need to go putting words in my mouth hey, BH?
Deans has produced some very good and very unenterprising rugby in his tenure so I don't really know what to expect. I truely hope its the former.

Your right Baa Baa, picking To'omua would be ludicrous, but what would I know....

I would like to see MMM or Kimlin in place of Simmons to give us more impact and flexibility.
If Simmons is in the 22 he needs to start.

With Halfpenny showing accuracy that would put "the grassy knoll" to shame, Simmo could be a risk with giving 1 or 2 penalties a game. I'm a fan of his but we have to lock it down in our own half...

Once again great to see all the different views good team selected with the players available would have changed it a tad
10 Barnes 15 izzy 14 o Connor no digby prefer that balance with Barnes control of the back line and tactical awareness
8 Mowen 6 kimlin 7 gill just prefer this balanced high work rate back row on form players to date against strong ball hungry Lions 3
What a great match on Sat Night at Suncorp it's going to be a cracker

Your right Hugh, to pick Cooper, To'omua or Foley would be ludicrous.
Well, of course, this is just the sort of blinkered philistine pig-ignorance I've come to expect from you non-creative garbage.

You bumped a nearly two-month old thread to say that? Strong posting.

I think that you won't be around the forums long if that's your style of contributions.
Can this thread be locked now and banished back to the past, where it should remain?
