- May 15th, 2007 5:18pmI haven\'t seen Mullen do to much, its a load of crap. If they wanted to pick a bolter they would have been better to go for Carney. Gee blokes like Matthew Head, Joe Williams and Brett Firman who came out with big wraps on them but not lived up to them over the last 3 years have missed a big opportunity this year. Pains me to say it but I would have picked Kimmorly. I bet they end up dropping Mullen in the second game and either Orford, Gower or Kimmorly get the job. I have to admit Gidley has been better this year then he used to be but you watch him choke. Robbie Farah would be 10 times better. I don\'t like Hayne either. Abdul is right Hazem should have been picked. He still might after Lyon gets suspended. Tupou has done absolutely nothing except impress Ricky Stuart at training for the Roosters, so he gets to leap frog Ryan Hoffman to the Australian side and now into the Origin side. Hoffman has been a big part of his team being on top of the ladder for 2 years, Tupou\'s has been at the bottom. What a joke. And Anasta, has there ever been anyone luckier when it comes to Rep footy (maybe Karlmichael Hunt, I would have Slater or Bowen anyday). QLD will match them in the forwards and absolutely flog them in the backs. I won\'t be surprised if they put 50 on them.
