[Moe]

wtf? How did Hoffman get a starting spot :whacky:


NZ team looks nice and balanced

 

[Malla]

I don't agree with the backrow.
Watmough should be at lock as he plays his best when he's roaming around the middle imo. Can't see Hoffman as anything more than a link between the middle and the edges. Sheens to be sacked after the four nations.

 

[bLaQDoG..]

Where's Eastwood?

Why they excluded Nathan Hindmarsh AGAIN is beyond my comprehension.

I'm going for the Kiwi's tbh. I kinda always do, I just think they're acool team

 

[dogs_4 lyf]

Hoffman and White. Hehe.

 

[Horse]

Eastwoods injured. I think he picked it up against Tonga.

 

[Moe]

Me too Rami, I tend to do so as they are always the underdogs and usually have some of my fav players playing for them.

 

[dogs_4 lyf]

I always support NZ lol. Support Australia in every other sport except leauge.

 

[Hansta]

i support the haka

 

[FaceBreaker]

Disagree with the Aus side.

Need to swap Morris and Hayne IMO.

Also start with Thiaday, f*ck off Hoffman altogether and get Hindmarsh in there, Lewis in for Kidley who is a waste of space, get rid off White and put some other **** in there.

 

[matauce]

Would've preferred Inu ahead of Matai. Pity about eastwood being injured.

 

[BulldogStar]

Me too Rami, I tend to do so as they are always the underdogs and usually have some of my fav players playing for them.

so do i haha. ive always supported new zealand in league. People are like how can you not support your country, but its just a regular game to me and i support the team i like better

 

[w00t]

Why the hell is Gidley there?

 

[FaceBreaker]

Why the hell is Gidley there?

Incase someone breaks down he can fill their spot.

Ever since he has been on the bench, he has never really been required. Cam smith is a 80 minute player and you don't need him to come off.

Luke Lewis is the more versatile IMO.

 

[Snake Jailbird]

Kidley is there because NZ is ****. Cmon, hes up against Hohaia

 

[Sabre V]

Aus by 100 billion.

 

[Bry]

Some dud selections there. How the **** did Hindmarsh not get a second row spot?

 

[Moe]

Gidley is a class player, but going on form he does not deserve to be in this team.

 

[bLaQDoG..]

LOL OMG I can't believe I didn't notice Gidley.

People like Lewis, Hindmarsh and Josh Morris missed out because of this out-of-form tool.

Sorry but he is currently a **** player who didn't even deserve to have his name mentioned in the Aussie squad. Patten would give him a run for his money.

It's all favouritism. Andrew Johns can shove it where it hurts.

Its pretty funny, every time Johns talks about Kidley he almost tears up... what a f*cken joke.

Kidley is gonna play sh*t anyway cos he knows next year he is probably back warming the bench for SOO with no (c) next to his name.
