Message: [QUOTE="Tunza's Chin, post: 2744654, member: 8986"] I don't think they were too old at all and its a bit of a media beat up if you ask me. Thurston, Smith, Cronk, Thiaday, Gallen and Parker are all getting on, but we have just as many international rookies in the team with limited experience: Semi, Dugan, Fergusson, Morgan, Gillet and Moose. Under Mal I will be highly surprised if any player gets selected without playing origin (if their eligible), which is great imo, so I would rule them all out of consideration. I don't think any younger origin player deserves to feel hard done by that one of those old heads got selected ahead of them. Thiaday I think has probably done his dash in the green and gold, but the Guerra's or the Jackson's didn't do enough to take if off him. Whats more I don't get why Gus and the rest are blowing up about how were not planning for the next world cup and need young guys! Of those six old fella's I'd wouldn't be a surprised if a couple of playing in the next world cup, but regardless, replacing six guys between now and then really isn't that massive. It's good for rookies to come into an experienced team like QLD have done so well over the last little while under Mal, and the newer faces will be better for the run anyway. The guys that come in before the world cup are going to be afforded the same luxury - I'd say there will be a couple of changes at the four nations, depending on who stands up in origin. [/QUOTE]
