Wests Tigers duo Jack Buchanan and Nathan Brown have today been named in the VB NSW Cup Representative side to face the QLD Residents in the lead-up to State of Origin Game Three in Brisbane.

The side is made up of players from the NSW Cup competition, with Brown and Buchanan earning selection from their performances so far this year with the third-placed Wests Tigers team.

The team is subject to Round 17 NRL selections and players chosen in first grade will be withdrawn from the Representative team.

Wests Tigers congratulate both players on their selection.

Congrats to both Nathan and Jack (although Jack won't get the chance to rep the NSW Cup side )

Pity the Qld Cup boys will kick your butts

So Jack was good enough to be chosen for this, yet everyone thinks he has been playing crap?

That is a simple one friend. Even when he is playing well he is quite poor.

Surely Moses should be in this? His stats since playing in cup have been off the charts!

Surely they have better prop options for the Residents side then?

the VB NSW Cup Representative side will be restricted to those athletes whose twenty-fifth (25) birthday falls in or after the calendar year in question.

I can't really comment on anything but the game on the weekend and while Buchanan tends to lack punch he certainly has a massive engine and tries very hard. No impact to his runs and no fancy offloads or anything though. He's quite one dimensional outside of his motor.

They have to have played 50% of their available games in NSW Cup, so I'd say Moses is precluded.
