Who would have thought that we would even have this many players selected (even if it is across 4 games)

What, none made the women's origin teams. There are plenty of soft bitches running around for our club at the moment.

Hold on we have a young squad remember 3 wins in the year and these rep players can’t put 80min on the field in normal grade games

This is what happens when a string of last minute / training injuries mysteriously spring up around rep round, and result in amazing recoveries for their teams the week after.

Considering we are such a crap side at the moment it is surprising that we have so many selected. In saying that though the pool of talent for some of the games is limited so they may have not had much choice...

For some of those players it will do a world of good to get away from the club.

They can play under a different coach and get a different perspective on things.

Congrats to our boys that are part of those teams.

I'm actually hoping wins might give them a bit of spark and make them realise "hey I'm not as shit a player as I'm made to look at the Dogs". It'll also throw the spotlight immediately back onto Pay.

Good thing is that there are players in both sides (except Origin but Qld have it in the bag).

Wakeham starting halfback for Fiji and Kalache starting prop and Ramounos starting lock for Lebanon gives that game some interest.
