Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2584955, member: 1899"] Hate to break it to you Sproj, but Oates has been ruled out due to his hammy. Fellow Bronco, Ajuma Adams has been called into the squad. The week is just a mess really. There's too much shady business going on. Obviously since the clubs pay the bulk of the players salaries, they're very reluctant to avail their players to these representative games and as a result, all we're reading in the media is that such and such has been ruled out for City/Country or the Origin game. Personally, I think City/Country is on it's last legs. It really doesn't do anybody any favours and it just generates too much negative publicity. I never understood the timing of the U/20s Origin game. Wouldn't it make more sense to make it an U/20s ANZAC game and bump the Origin game to a pre-Origin game in favour of one of the 16s or 18s? Plus, it's hard to build a lot of interest for it when it's been exclusively played out in Sydney's west. Wouldn't it make sense to play it up here one year at Skilled? I thought Kent's comments were very ordinary regarding Samoa/Fiji. It's probably the only game of the weekend that has any upside, yet here we have a 'respected' journo tearing it down. Makes little sense for me. [/QUOTE]
