LOL @ trying to stop that three-quarter line. I mean, that whole backline is extraordinarily deadly, but look at the size and athleticism of 2-5.

You get a big rap from Barry McKenzie for selecting Paul 'the legend' Gallen but lose big points for choosing little Sammy 'out of my depth and sinking fast' Burgess and Gareth 'Ordinary' Eliss.

Good call on the others though

196m, 48 tackles, 5 offloads. Those are the stats Gallen racked up yesterday. He'll always have a lot of haters, but he's an incredible player.

They do try hard bless them.

It's an encouragement thing.....like the kid at school who cant read or write very well wins an award for trying hard or best effort


Run 2 of these off Damo, sign one 'to Gaz' and another to 'little Sammy' and slap an airmail sticker on them

I really don’t know whose corner I should be inIn Sam Burgess’s and Gareth Ellis’s corner we have

Respected journalist that get paid & Rugby League professionals

Not in their corner

Do help me pick

Jarryd Hayne is the best player in the world at the minute, lead the Eels to 3 wins in a row, looks to be getting back his form from last season. Brilliant to watch! Hayne Train!
