"Years of performance and then STILL spitting out quality performances including a MOTM in origin and a quality back end to the season" quality back end to the season? when was the last game he played, like round 20? Carney had what you would call a quality back end of the season, no Lockyer. years of performance from lockyer shouldnt even come into the equation when selecting the team for this 4 nations. how does someone playing well 5 years ago mean they should get selected this year?
