6 Huddersfield players and none from Bradford does seem a bit odd given McNamara's previous squad selection tendencies. Perhaps someone has passed on those compromising photos of McNamara orginally taken by McAvoy to someone in the Huddersfield camp?

Gurus beard ,do you mean these Giants players that have smashed the Bulls this year mate its sour grapes from you lot, you go on about Scruton and Lynch before Griffin,Patrick and Mason are better than them 2 and have been all year infact i would have taken one of them before Crabtree they have both been beter than him all year.

Yes. You do know the Bradford Bulls aren't Australia don't you? No, thought not.



Not at all. But then when "the Giants" have won anything, we could converse again.



You haven't read what I've written properly have you?



That's your view. It would be an incorrect one.



You are consistent with wanting to ply the Emirates flight with crap I'll give you that.

how lynch and scruton rnt ahead of griffin and crabtree has baffled me

Crabtree is understandable. He had a good series for England last time out and deserves to keep this place.

Darrell Griffin I still just don't understand. And I suspect nobody except McNamara and ever so slightly biased Giants fans do.

Because there not good enough.

You just couldn't make some of this up nowadays. Fair play to you for imagination!

Why is anyone surprised by the selections of a clown

The guy has no clue, as I said 3 year disaster for my beloved Bulls, now 3 year disaster for the country.

We don't have a chance of closing the gap on the Anzacs with a buffoon in charge, bet they're shatting themselves, not!

Many of our supporters kept saying give him a chance, well we gave him too long, and Potter will prove how bad he was next year! Roll on 2011 we get our team back

No you couldnt,listen players get rewarded for good form and are chosen to go on tour all the Giants players chosen have played well all year,where has the Northern players havent

Mate i watched the Bradford Quartet in Cumbria yesterday and they are not international class players,they had there chance to stake a claim sadly they failed.

Do you honestly think Griffin is a better prop than Lynch?

Both made the same number of appearances this season. Lynch played in a poor side that finished 10th, Griffin played in a good side that finished 5th. However :

Tries - Lynch 6, Griffin 2

Metres - Lynch 3074, Griffin 2343

Tackles - Lynch 682, Griffin 445

Offloads - Lynch 75, Griffin 6 (The Aussies will really need to wrap Darrell up)

Tackle busts - Lynch 41, Griffin 27

Missed Tackles - Lynch 22, Griffin 23 (Even though Griffin was in a side that is excellent in defence whereas we were pi$$poor)

Penalties - Lynch 9, Griffin 18

Errors - Lynch 15, Griffin 8

Errors is the only area Griffin looks better, but not enough to compensate for a much lower tackle efficiency, or 69 offloads less.
