What is your opinion on whether Gasnier should be picked for the Kangaroos sqaud?

Question

This is considering he is going to sign to join rugby union.

Answer 1

I reckon the best team should be picked for a team. I'm not sure about anyone else but i wouldn't want to pick for a team if i didn't deserve the spot. NRL are just having a hissy fit if they don't pick him because he might change codes. a bit childish to me.

Answer 2

If he is changing codes, then they should give other players a chance to have the experience in playing, regardless of whether he is the world's best centre.

Answer 3

most definitely should be in a kangaroos test squad, hard ball runner, fast, great acceleration and powerful upper body to palm off defenders. h**l be in the team...its a no brainer.

Answer 4

They should pick the best players available. After all, they continued to pick Wendell Sailor and Lote Tuquiri after they signed to union. Instead, they should work to keep a marquee player like Gasnier in the game.

Answer 5

No he shouldn't, or perhaps yes but no match payment for the game?

I'd like to see the team full of players 100% committed to the game/team. The Kiwi's beat us out of emotion/passion, and will do it again if our team isn't fully committed.

Also - I think theres better options in the centres anyways. His defence is "Average", and he's one of these players that just sits back and watches half the game anyways, he does not get involved.

Answer 6

If he's played well enough he should be picked.

He is contracted to the DRAGONS and NRL/ARL untill seasons end, next year shouldn't come into it.

I cant see the DRAGONS dropping him to premier league this year for something he's doing next year.

Answer 7

Personally I don't believe Gasnier is the best centre in the world...it will greatly affect St George if he moves but it will be very hard to put him in the Wallabies as they already have two fantastic centres and some superb talent on the wing. For that reason I cannot understand why he would want to move...
