Message: [QUOTE="m1c, post: 2342305, member: 1944"] the australian side doesnt need combinations to win though. test matches are a walk in the park, as we've been seeing. and Lockyer hasnt done anything to justify being picked either. didnt play the last what, 6 weeks of the season? didnt play in the finals either. Carney was on fire for the second half of the season and the finals. won the dally M player of the year too. rugby league rep selectors have always been too much like the aussie cricket selectors - they just choose the guys who have 'been there done that', despite the fact that there are many other players out there playing better who could get the job done even better. its why players like Gidley keep getting chosen, and its why Lockyer was chosen over Carney. am i upset that Lockyer was chosen? no, hes a champion and i want him to break every rugby league record in the book. but to say he deserved the spot more than Carney just isnt true. what more can a player do to 'deserve' a test spot? take your team from last to the finals on the back of dominating 90% of the season from 2 positions? check. get to the grand final? check. win player of the year? check. win international player of the year? check. to say he doesnt deserve it is a joke.[/quote:3j5gr7u2] Years of performance and then STILL spitting out quality performances including a MOTM in origin and a quality back end to the season > flash in the pan Are you also on the Hayne train AP? Going by that shouldn't he have had the fullback position over Slater last year? Maybe we would have won the World Cup.. [/QUOTE]
