ok so i went to the roosters website and found out the team. I think its good that city is using both anasta and pearce to see what a combination they make at rep level. This will also be a good indicator whether pearce is ready and good enough for rep footy, this early in his career.

Answer 3

After seeing the teams and laughing about how hard my team City Origin will get smashed i'll say that because Country is better in every aspect of football except halfback (Mitchell Pearce, Peter Wallace, and Matt Orford who shoould have gotten in are all better then Finch) Country 46 City 10

Answer 4

I think but not completely sure but Patten and El masri are both still out injured. El masri is still about two weeks away and Patten not sure. Farah siad today when interviewed on radio that he is about three weeks away. Both sides look fairly decent. The country side looks stronger on paper given the forward pack they've got.

I agree with previous comments about Buderus being picked, complete waste of time, everyone knows he's gunna be the nsw hooker.

Answer 5

i have to agree with the hardman...  sims & ennis are in career best form. they should've been picked. good for the broncos they wern't.luke lewis in 2nd row, no good. lawrence was very unlucky.

Answer 6

I thought country should've selected Michael Ennis instead of Danny Buderus. Buderus has been around for ages and we know what he can do at rep level we don't need to see it again, especially with Ennis playing great football and a rep game would've done his progress wonders.

Also thought that Peter Wallace should've been slected ahead of Braith Anasta for the exact same reason as above instead of a bench player where he will most likely play a small role at hooker.

Was glad to see that alot of young players like Todd Carney get a run.

Players that were unlucky to miss out were Jason Ryles, Ashton Sims, Michael Ennis, Preston Campbell and Chris Lawrence,
