Robbie set to make Kangaroo's Four Nations Team

[G_Strombolli]

I'm thinking Robbie will be at least named on the bench at some point, if not start when Smith is rested. And I think they'll rest a few of the 'star' players, i.e. Smith and Thurston, therefore giving Robbie and Cronk one or two games.

But we are talking Sheens here, so who knows what will happen and who'll end up playing where.

Excellent for your Robbie !

I also have no doubt that playing Test matches will take Robbie's game to a new level. He will be a better player come next year.

Congrats to robbie, well deserved. He'll hopefully get a run in one or two of the lead up games so they can give smith a bit of a rest. The experience will do him wonders tho.

Whilst I'm surprised that Farah was chosen considering that the backup hooker could easily be Gidley or Cronk, I'm glad he is there for the experience he is going to gain.

This side really does have the Sheens stamp all over it - bugger all fit props, strange left field selections in Waterhouse, Jennings and co…

There are a few blokes in this side who are fantastic club players but did not handle SOO this year.

All in all I think it's a very strong backline........pretty soft pack. Poms may get us there.

here it was it was only us who like to give it to Sheens over team selections…....

What do the selectors get paid for.........

Tigers *WON* the comp in 2005 and only Scott Price made the side. Bennett was the kangaroo coach that year and didnt think that was a disgrace. SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE BENNETT!

every time farah has played against ennis, robbie has carved him up. the first time tigers played dogs, we lost by 2 but robbie outplayed him. in city v country he tore him to shreds and in the final round vs the dogs farah gave him a hooking lesson. look at the stats and ull see robbie is clearly the better hooker. ennis leads farah in missed tackles and penalties conceded. every other stat, farah has him covered. i do not see what the people who prefer ennis are basing their arguments over. if the are going to say SOO3, anyone would have beaten a 1/2 intoxicated QLD outfit that night.

Disagree…..We had a lot of green players that year and most of them had only played well for half a season.

If they had of backed up in 06 then those claims would have been justified.

Bennett was talking about blokes who starred in the SOO series and this year were a part of a minor premiership team - big difference.
