Surely Ali should have been there, he's looked better of late and then gets the bullett, what is Mac doing. Playing Hauraki and Ian Shirke and leaving a gamebeaker out in Ali who's looked better lately. Maybe just not getting a new contract so not picking him.

.....it's the word "like" I refer to
Clarkson is ineffective as a bench/impact player....he's a work-horse who should be on for the 80, or not at all. Ali still best defines the impact forward despite his decline. Pitts should be there instead of Kirke....but hey....what do I know ? Kirke is probably one of the best butt lickers at the club and that's what one obviously needs to succeed with this coaching staff.'"
Who said I was a Hauraki and Kirke fan? I was picking what I thought would be the best line-up from that 19 man squad.
You really do need to engage your brain before posting. Just every now and again.
So what superlative would you use to describe Ingliss ? ...Senior at his peak ?
Australia watch out
("One of the best centres in the league" is rather a sad indictment....IF true.)
It is rather funny that I was once derided for daring to suggest Ablett would make a better stop-gap centre than Delaney (and conversely Delaney the better second rower). Good to see the unenlightened now humbled in their unremitting shame.
I like Ablett: he has good hands and all the attributes to make a decent loose forward.... However, he has not got the pace nor the man drawing skills to put his winger away on the outside (just watch Francis Meli today for example - who would have had ever thought we could use him as a beacon to aspire to. Even J.Tomkins looks the better second row convert than Ablett).
As for [imoaning[/i....you mis-understand. I don't really care [ithat[/i much about a game I enjoy, but do not live for. Instead I enjoy the reaction from those who pontificate, prefer the status quo and always presume to know best.
I do believe Hall is a fine player, who [imight[/i make a better centre than winger. He certainly does not have the electric pace commensurate with the better wingers I have seen over the years (he certainly does not have the confidence he once seemed to have - notably against Greenshields at Murrayfield a few years ago - to try beating his man on the outside). His strength, tackle busting ability and [ireasonable[/i pace all suggest to me a move inside.
For genuine winger's [ioutside his man[/i flair just look at the talented one we let go, now playing for the lowly Salford City Reds - a club about in the same league as Leeds for genuine title aspirations these days.
In a better team, with somebody like an-at-his-peak-Senior inside him, Broughton would be a world beater.'"
