Yow Yeh shouldn't be there, Michael Gordon and Aku Uate are much better. Idris is pretty lucky too. Otherwise it's a pretty good side I guess.
 
Two backs, Cronk and Idris, on the bench? Cronk'll get 5 minutes unless someone gets injured. Worse than the Wests Tigers bench.

Shillington doesn't deserve his spot at all. Remember all those years we were told that no WT players got into rep sides because we weren't a winning team? …Shillington: Canberra 1 from 8 so far. Incomprehensible selection.
 
Hoping sheens doesn't pick these teams.

I'm sorry guys, but i'm going for New Zealand

Idris is a poor selection. Yow Yeh is….. interesting... Shillington is their on reputation alone....

Bunji and the Kiwis to win it again.
 
An interesting mix of new faces and old in the NZ side. I think the the Roos will win and in the end probabaly quite comfortably as the Kiwis never do well in these one off games especially now it's been moved back to OZ soil.

Gerard Beale, Adam Blair, Lewis Brown, Shaun Kenny-Dowall, Matthew Duffie, Greg Eastwood, Nathan Fien, Kieran Foran, Bronson Harrison, Lance Hohaia, Issac Luke, Sam McKendry, Simon Mannering, Benji Marshall (capt), Ben Matulino, Fuifui Moimoi, Jason Nightingale, Sam Rapira, Jeremy Smith.

Yeah agree with that, bit of a free ride in for Yow Yeh, at this stage, I reckon. Shillington can think himself lucky and Creagh? He is great at club level, but hasn't really performed too well at rep level. Fairly good team overall, though.
 
i guess its possible idris might play a bit of 2nd row, and yeah i reckon uate is better than yow yeh. i was listening or trying to listen to the rep teams lineups on the supporters bus that left canberra and i was a bit surprised of a few of the selections. i also thought gidley would get the 14 instead of cronk since gidley can play more positions
 
Other issue , I understand you have to virtually play yourself out of jersey in rep teams But Sauce totally outplayed Shillington Sunday and should of been there before Shillington And then Shillingtons out and they call up Snowden . Give me a break what does he have to do ??

Agreed, Sauce deserved a go his form has been consistently good. Maybe Sheens didn't want to plug for him too much after the criticism he copped last year for picking Lote. Sheens might want Sauce's form do the talking to win a SOO spot first, just a thought.

Snowden is well ahead of Galloway in my book, and should have been there over Shillington to start with.
