The selectors got it all wrong

Posted by RHYSTER on May 2, 2010 at 7:52pm

Honestly can not believe city/country selectors!!!! No hindy is a big load of b/s!!! But the biggest dissapointment is the fact that St George has not been rewarded with more spots, Jamie soward is the best player in the comp at the moment and to not even get a look in is a down write fast!! And wat about Beau Scott, he is the mongrel nsw needs!! To be honest I think city/country should be scrapped, poor excuse to fill the 9:30 time slot. (and yes I am a massive parra and nsw fan, just give credit were it's due)

City V Country is a nothing game, well past it's used by date. I'm happy Hindy is not playing risking injury. If the other guys involved get serious injuries out of it, that will be the biggest scandal in my books...

The Soward exampl is complet BS! How can the selectors possibly say that after 8 rounds of NRL Greg Bird and Braith Anasta are the best 5/8's that NSW have, what a load of crap.

Yep excatly I would rather not see any parra players in this game, so they don't get hurt!! And honestly 26 rounds last year and every round this year the dragons have showed class and for wat to be given a couple of shit positions!!! Yes Brett Morris deserves the wing for aus but weres the rest???

You got to be joking soward is the best player in the comp..you must be on drugs or maybe watching the 2009 season

Sorry, but, they're the Dragons, people. Who cares if they get recognition or not??? Individually, sure, I have nothing against (some of) their players but the team??? Please...

Harry, mate seriously u must be unbeilevably one eyed to not think soward is In great form... He has to get a nsw jersey and if he doesn't than the selectors aren't doing their job!! U tell me one other half who is better than him at the moment?? And can stand up for nsw!

  Soward has crumbled in EVERY SINGLE high pressure game he's played.
  
  Shouldn't be considered

Beau Scott is out for up to 6 weeks with a knee injury thats why he didnt get picked. But agree on your other points. I do like City Country but only if genuine Origin players get picked. Not guys who are barely first graders or have been out for most of the year.

Maybe Soward has already got the job in the NSW halves. They don't want to risk him getting hurt. If not that is kinda crazy.

Soward has not been as dominant as he was last year

he is too inconsistent and struggles under pressure. He won't be considered for NSW so no point him player in C vs C

hindy won't get picked for nsw because belammy doesn't like him/doesn't rate him. Daley sucks belammy's ass so Hindy was never going to be picked for country

Beau Scott injured

surprised Jason King didn't get a run as his name has been tossed around as a NSW hopeful
