A Prediction - think what you may

[AmericanHistoryX]

As long as Sheens is coach we will never see a Wests Tigers player wear the green and gold.
Someone please explain to me why the best player in last years state of origin series cannot make the Australian team. It's diaboloical. I dont get it. What else does he have to do.

 

[larrycorowa]

Because he wasn't the best player and the incumbent hooker plays at a consistently higher level week in week out

 

[LaT]

Smith is the test captain and the incumbent while playing in the best club side for years now.

Its not diabolical to see Smith get a spot over Farah. In fact ousting Cameron would have been diabolical just to accommodate Farah.

And its pointless to carry two specialist 80min hookers against a side like NZ.

He has never been outplayed by smith.
The difference is smith has a star half and full back.

I don't think we'll ever see what heights farah could have achieved if he had a half and decent forwards around him.

fair enough - he's a hooker. What about the size of his heart. He led the Blues into action. How do they measure that?
However the prediction stands.

 

[Muffstar]

Cameron Smith is a very good player and an excellent goal kicker. He brings a lot to Melbourne, Qld and Australia and he deserves the number 9.

No doubting Robbie's ability and heart, but unless Smith gets injured Robbie will always be his backup.

I agree 100% well said. I wish he would be there but as long a sheens is there it will be very hard.

If Cameron Smith broke his leg tonight, I think Robbie would be a shoe-in.

With an ECG.

I think its probably fair to say that guys like Farah, Lawrence, and Big Keefy would never have worn the Green and Gold had Sheens not been Australian Coach.

Remember Farah couldn't crack the origin side, but was regularly picked as Cam Smith's backup under Sheens.

But the tables have turned, and now that Sheens is dirty on the club the Tigers boys wont be getting any favours come selection time.

 

[diedpretty]

Whats more amazing is he picks one prop on the bench, and a smallish one at that - i know Gallen can rotate to prop - but Sheens can not get over his love affair with backrowers.

 

[Tigerpete]

Yeah Robbie was never going to outlast Smith for the 9\. Smith whilst the incumbent has been great this season and Farah just about the same. No arguments here.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

I still dont get it - how can the man of the series for NSW not make an Australian team. Do you see what im getting at guys. I know he's a hooker - but still man of the series. I mean who is a better player overall - Farah or Daruis Boyd? Come on please. It's all rigged.

 

[LaT]

So Robbie should be on the wing for Australia?

 

[wtfl1981]

Sheens would not select a in form Woods?

[AmericanHistoryX]

sorry i didnt know he was out of form.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

LaT you answer my question first please - i think that would be fair - afterall its a forum and rhetoric should be logical. And then I will answer your question. Ok
So once again - i'll make this simple - who is a better player robbie farah or darius boyd?
I hope I'm not straining your brain - I apologize in advance.

 

[happy_tiger]

If Robbie gets picked it is as a utility player AHX as Smith is head and shoulders ahead of him

I want a utility who can play any position at a drop of a hat Luke Lewis winns that hands down form or no form

he'd be better than boyd.
