ANZAC test match teams

[dragons]

International footy should decided on the place you where born.

Origin should be open to anyone based on the rules of where you played your junior footy.

This gives someone like Tamou the option of playing for there country but also playing the best part of the game. State of Origin.

junior footy . i think the rules are under 17 senior footy . where you played

I remember him a yr or so ago missing the easiest tackle in the world against newcastle, I made my mind up after that.

Funny you mention that, ever since that tackle I always thought he was just a big, close to useless footballer but after hearing his name tossed up for the rep teams I have watched him play and he has improved out of sight and isn't lazy anymore.

 

[A.Snowden]

I would and straight into a blues jersey aswell. He's got the best parts of JWH's game without all the grubby play.

Isn't he the one last year or before that 2010 that dog shotted someone side on?

 

[Mr Wright]

Isn't he the one last year or before that 2010 that dog shotted someone side on?

Punched Josh McGuire in the back of the head in a fight that had nothing to do with him and wasn't even kicking off.

[josh11223344]

[dragons]

Funny you mention that, ever since that tackle I always thought he was just a big, close to useless footballer

[sharks2010]

when was the last time sheepshaggers kiwi's won an anzac test ?? 10 years ago

How is that allowed

 

[dragons]

Yep. Considering last year he chose NZ. Now he uses this as a selection to get into state of origin. Its rubbish. Choosing Origin over your country is a bit wrong imo

its called money . big cash

****in queenslanders having a cry when the shoes on the other foot

cry me a river you canetoads

Under the new eligibility guidelines, there was a clear message that if you've already participated in representative football (from under 18s onwards) then that would stand."

That means Korbin, having played Queensland under 18s last year, and the likes of Greg Inglis, who has played 15 matches for Queensland but would be a Blue under new guidelines, will continue to wear maroon.

Tariq Sims seemed slightly miffed by his younger brother's decision to shun the sky blue, but said he was still proud of the Newcastle prop with a bright future.

"It's his decision that he wanted to align with those Queenslanders," Tariq told AAP.

"I'm proud of him, but he's born and bred in Gezza (Gerringong) but, oh well.

There are quite a few footballers you could deem useless running around in the NRL today.

I am glad the game is delayed tonight on channel 9 7:30pm kick off which means closer to 8pm gives me time to get home from work a couple
of sneeky's at the pub and then home dinner and footy's on.

I can go a couple of hours without F.B, twitter to find out the score.
