Where has Gareth Widdop been playing this year ? Could only find 3 apps for Storm 1st grade, has he been playing for a feeder club somewhere ??

I can't look. I get off at watching car crashes but this tour is one step too far for me.

i would'nt mind tony clubb getting a run out....if he was with a northern club i reckon he'd be a regular international...



and widdop has been playing for the melbourne storm reserve grade side in the NSW CUP

What bothers me is that the squad's about the best we can manage with the possible exception of Sinfield's omission, although he might have been left out because McNamara realises that Antipodean refs won't tolerate the way he mouths off all the time.

or its cos he's injured......maybe

Sinfield has an achilles injury. Just spoke to someone who was at the press conference, and they made a point of saying Sinfield would have been in the squad if fit...

I like how people moan about players who they dont think are good enough, yet we are taking a player from the Nrl who has played 3 games this season all in different positions now that people is the biggest joke!

Are Lynch and Scrutton not available? They are the best props in SL behind Graham and Morley.

I would go with:

1. Widdop
2. Goulding
3. Shenton
4. Atkins
5. Briscoe
6. S. Tomkins
7. Brown
8. Graham
9. Roby
10. Morley
11. Burgess
12. Ellis
13. O'Loughlin

14. Lunt
15. Fielden
16. Crabtree
17. J. Tomkins

Id go:

Cudjoe
Goulding
Briscoe
Atkins
Hall
Brown
Tomkins
Morley
Lunt
Graham
Ellis
Burgess
O'Loughlin

Roby
Westwood
Crabtree
Griffin

He's an incumbent Test player, isn't he? From all reports, he was decent enough in his debut.

If he didn't have the best fullback in the world in front of him at club level, he would've played a lot more first-grade games by now.
