My mate ordered my ticket for the Aus game yesterday, as soon as I read TS's team selection I rang him up to see if I could cancel it. It turned out I was too late

Its a joke. I mean, you could almost understand it, if Smith played an old fashioned half back pairing, but he doesnt, he splits his half backs left and right which means he doesnt need an authodox scrum half.

Myler is only in there because he plays for Warrington. Tomkins is light years ahead of Myler.

Lets get Sam to withdraw from the squad.

F*ck England RL.

There is no way this decision can ever be justified, sign for Warrington and I will assure you of an England place.

Its a disgrace.

Tony Smith = Dilluded T0sser!! Need I say more?

I had no plan to watch this game anyway, 2 low quality teams rarley make for an interesting game, i feel justified in making this decision even more now.

Looking forward to the game on Saturday, and if this is the selection Smith thinks is acceptable I may become an honorary Kiwi for the next month or so.

Me neither. Ill take the mrs out tomorrow instead & support Tommy for NZ.

Exactly it's totally unprofessional like one other poster said.

We know IL reads these boards so the question really needs to be asked if he's willing to stand by and let a player like Sam have not only his confidence diminished by a joke decision like this but also his head turned by Warrington as it's obvious to him and any other player that the quickest way to international RL is by a move to Warrington.

IL lets put Wigan first and pull the kid out.

He can't have had a straight face when he said this.

I dont know why everyone is so bothered! Im glad he's not playing, id rather him not play and therefore not run ANY risk of injury for next season, to be honest, I couldn't give a monkey's about internationals anyway.

yes please explain! Obviously this poster has never come to terms with Davo O's obsession with Noble.

Gone off Tony Smith now then?
