I thought it was hilarious that Sam Williams and Jack Whighton were named for Country… Good ol Daley still loves his Raiders?!

Because the selectors live in the past, Dave. Same reason they've chosen Gidley in the Test team after he has only played about 10 games in 2 years!

Maybe but at least Ray knows what he is doing in his area of excellence.

Do you think Farah's omission from the test team has something to do with Sheens being dumped as Wests Tigers coach Flip?

Hard to say, Cunno. I think with Smith in the side Robbie's battle to be selected is always going to be uphill. Whilst he can cover halfback adequately, Robbie is a hooker through and through. I still think Gidley is a ridiculous decision after being out of action for so long, but both he and Lewis are probably more versatile than Farah. I would hope that would be the only reason for his omission, but you can never tell with Sheens.

:laughing: , good way to put it .

foreveratiger · Apr 14, 2013

I agree with you Flippedy , it is ludicrous how Gidley is in that team , but then again Sheenious always has a utility on the bench :crazy

They live in the past alright, they still think Jennings is a Panther

WestsSupporter · Apr 15, 2013

Congratulations to Teddy for getting picked as Hayne's replacement.

Demonborger · Apr 15, 2013

Farah, Lawrence and Woods out for Tedesco, Reddy and Sironen. Did we have a quota of players or something that we had to match?
