Billy Slater, Israel Folau, Greg Inglis, Justin Hodges, Darius Boyd, Darren Lockyer (capt), Johnathan Thurston, Petero Civoniceva, Cameron Smith, Steve Price, Anthony Laffranchi, Paul Gallen, Glenn Stewart. Interchange: Kurt Gidley, Brent Kite, Luke Bailey, Anthony Watmough.

That back row is pathetic. What has Glenn Stewart done to deserve getting picked over Creagh or Waterhouse? Likewise Watmough and Kite?

Awesome to see a full Maroon backline however.
 
Sammy was very unlucky to miss out

however, i'm glad he'll be fresh for Manly :D
 
I'm very disappointed with this team. How ever it is exactly how i expected it.
 
WTF??? Watmough????

He has been woeful in defence and average in attack. Kite has been poor too (I had him for NSW origin bug I wouldn't pick him for city-country right now).

At least it'll be good for us on Mothers Day if the Kiwis bash them up.
 
Kite was probably picked because he's done a great job for Australia every time he played for them. He's a proven performer. Can't disagree with that selection much.
 
The less Broncos the better I say, rep foot has been killing our seasons for years. This side should get it done.
 
I can beleive that any of those backrowers made the team over Thaiday, he has been 1 of our best and we are coming equal first. there are 3 Manly players and a sharks player in those spots and they are coming 2nd last and last...WTF
 
The NSW papers are splashed with the headline "NSW snubbed from Aussie Squad" at the moment.

I'm definitely not one to get on the anti-QLD conspiracy bandwagon, but it wouldn't surprise me if Thaiday's omission was a result of the selectors being conscious of how many Queenslanders are in the team.

IMO, if they're that concerned about it they could have just swapped Boyd with the Wolfman (all he has to do is drop over the line). It's simple. When you're playing the Kiwis, you need your BEST forwards playing and Thaiday should have been there.
 
How the hell did Thaiday and Waterhouse miss out because of Watmough, Stewart and Kite? Even Hannant plays better than those three.

Also I looked at the kiwi squad and I don't understand how why they bypassed Moi Moi? His form is outstanding and is a better choice than fat Eastwood.
 
Watmough and Stewart hahaha

Thaiday, Creagh, Waterhouse should have been the backrow.

Has Moi Moi sorted out his eligibility issues yet? He wasn't allowed to play for NZ in the World Cup because he changed his country of representation to Tonga, and you can only change it once every x amount of years.

I did not realise that. It makes sense now.

I am an avid believer in anti-QLD conspiracies and Thaiday's omission is nothing short of fuel for my conspiracies.

LOLZ at the bench. Thaiday miles ahead of Stewart (brother of the good player), Gallen and Watmough.
 
I would have picked Thaiday for Stewart and Myles for Watmough, otherwise the team is fine. Although Creagh and Waterhouse are a tad unlucky.
 
Luke Lewis was unlucky too I reckon. He's been in fantastic form and I would've given him the #13 jersey for sure.
