Congratulations to all the Manly players selected for Australia.

NZ team to follow.

Test next friday in Canberra

 

[Loobs]

What a **** team that is also great for us. Feel the Kiwis will hit us hard though.

 

[wombatgc]

How the f@ck did Klemmer make it? He's done nothing so far.
Shannon Boyd should've got that spot.

 

[HappilyManly]

Kapow and Brown are usually in the Kiwi Team

 

[Harvies elbow]

Looks like Mals stuck loyal.
They won't be able to ignore Jake and Tom for too much longer.

 

[Sillybus]

The team is plain awful. Kiwis will dominate.

 

[manlyfan76]

No room for studs up Billy.

The 2 , 3 , 8 , 10 and 11 is a joke really . What ever happened to picking a side on form . The whole concept has lost me , test side has been pretty much announced and we haven't had origin. I thought city country was a warm up to origin before the Australian team got picked. Its all become abit of a joke really .

 

[Brookie Brawler]

At least 2 or 3 there lucky to be picked ahead of Jake

 

[Supreme Leader]

Kapow and Brown are usually in the Kiwi Team

Maybe Brown will get injured?

 

[Fro]

form has never been relevant to the test side.

form has never been relevant to the test side.

And I don't think anybody expects Mal to do anything exciting.

 

[Fro]

And I don't think anybody expects Mal to do anything exciting.

Thats it in a nutshell, he'll stick with (in his opinion) his tried and true players. he will say its all about combinations, limited lead up time etc, and the masses will counter with "such and such is playing garbage" and "so and so is in form"

both sides of that are sort of understandable. For what its worth a few of those selections are diabolically stupid in my opinion.

AFB is a chance as well.

No it hasn't but it should be.

 

[Frogz]

Happy that no one from Manly got in actually. Its a noting test - mid season, you only get injuries from this stuff.

Just leave us alone to keep on keeping on, under the radar.

How the f@ck did Klemmer make it? He's done nothing so far.
Shannon Boyd should've got that spot.

Maybe Des will ban him from playing
