your delusional if you think the Prime Ministers XIII is any thing prestigious your kidding your self they nearly got beat by PNG this year and if you have a look at the team it has a few star players but a lot of ordinary one's. I'm not refuting the fact Luke Burt has been a absolute Parra legend but the past two seasons he's been strictly average at best. Regarding Hayne every one knows he's picked by NSW because of his potential ability not because of what he's produced for Parra in recent years, he was even dropped from the Blue's squad last year if I remember correctly and they play him on the wing because frankly Stewart is a much better player with greater consistency in his game. Hindmarsh is a work horse and always has been I'd rather face him than Tony Williams who is devastating in attack and can open the holes required to win and international.

That's enough for me.

You have no idea, that is obvious.

I could respond and embarrass you but its not worth it.

Was Hayne dropped for a bad game in SOO? He was picked for games 2 and 3.

You do realise that SOO and Test teams more often than not have Fullbacks on the Wings (at least one wing)

I think there was 3 or 4 Fullbacks in the recent Oz side to play the Kiwis?

If Brett Stewart is so good why has he not been selected on the Wing for Oz? (one game 2007)



What is your assessment of the Prime Ministers selection squad?

What is it about and why are players selected?

Are they random players out of a hat?

ps

Tony Williams is crap

He has the ball handling skills that are laughable.

Penalty machine, that is either banned or injured for much of the year.

He is from the same school as Manu Vatuvei.

Not worth the hassle.

on paper looks like a good signing but seems hes been very poore for a few seasons now

You do realise that the Prime Ministers XIII are selected from players from teams not in the finals of the NRL?

That narrows down the Stars somewhat, if it was SL who would be in the England Team?

The NRL has a good spread of stars seeded amongst all of the Clubs.



ps



Trent Barrett was a player that was considered to have been selected as a "favourite" rather than on ability, he was NEVER the best player in his position.

Hayne wasn't picked for game 1 because his form was very average and they considered Josh Dugan a better option who subsequently was injured. I know the point your trying to make but let's face it the only reason Boyd, and Hayne play on the wings for state and country is due to Slater and Stewart being preferred and seen as better options.



The following in the prime minsters squad are nowhere near good enough to represent the Kangaroo's its a gimmick of a game with agining veternas like Burt and young up and comers like Aaron Woods to play in. The list bellow of players in that squad just proves it's not a serious game and has a lot of average players.

oh dear another aussie journeyman, real healthy for our game when even the lower clubs like wakey are bringing in aussies too, what a poore signing, whats happening to wakey's youth development, oh they get rid of most of that talent dont they?? how sad!!!!

2/10

I think Wakefield should be applauded for who they are building the club. A few others should take note.

No when they pay all the small businesses they left high and dry then they should be applauded and that wont happen

LOL how do you know who was paid and wasn't. At a fans evening when he took over, he said he'd paid some off because it was the right thing to do and other businesses got paid because the club are still doing business with them.
