SMH- Australian Team of the Week

[Swee_82]

Each week, Greg Growden and Rupert Guinness pick Australia's form players of the round.

15 Mark Gerrard (ACT) (3)
14 Lote Tuqiri (NSW) (1)
13 Ryan Cross (Force) (3)
12 Tom Carter (NSW) (1)
11 Scott Staniforth (Force) (1)
10 Matt Giteau (Force) (3)
9 Brett Sheehan (NSW) (1)
8 Richard Brown (Force) (1)
7 Phil Waugh (NSW) (2)
6 Rocky Elsom (NSW) (3)
5 Dan Vickerman (NSW) (2)
4 Nathan Sharpe(Force) (3)
3 Dayna Edwards (Qld) (1)
2 Adam Freier (NSW) (1)
1 Greg Holmes (Qld) (1)
(Number of times selected in brackets).

Player of the round: RYAN CROSS. Several outstanding attacking moments by the Force midfielder almost led to victory over the Crusaders.

Try of the round: RICHARD BROWN. As good as any try this season, involving great lob and one-handed passes before the Force No 8 was provided with the gap.

Bam Bam wins man-of-the-match against the Crusaders and still doens't get a look in? Good to see Crossy getting the credit he deserves- man he's been good the last few weeks.

Brett Sheehan? You're kidding right, guys? Thought Phibbs was way better.

No Pocock? Just lost back the credibility you scored with a balanced match analysis Grumbles.

[KenyaQuin]

Brownie..excellent work. He looked good in the ARC and he's looking excellent so far..he's another possible for the Wallabies.

We lost the game, didn't you learn from previous weeks they pick less on form, more on if your team won, despite the opposition...

[lmaag]

Me thinks Pocock should have been in there. ACT -NSW was a scrappy match and in the conditions it was expected. IMHO Pocock deserved a flank position.

what a load of bollocks, im off to voice my complaints in rugby blog....

[jazza93]

why do you care

[NTT]

the keepers of the game beating their own drum again wouldnt have got close to beating the force yesterday how do any reds players get in there they were embarassing

[Jehna]

What the hell is the Tah-man doing in there?

[littleleck]

No Pocock?
Good to see Spanner in there..
And if Sheehan was the best aus half for the week we are in more trouble than we thought..

My opinion, you wouldn't pick a single one of any other Aussie team this week if you wanted credibility.........we played oppposition probaby five or six times what the other teams played and looked as good if not better, Aussie team of the week goes like this

1 Boof
2 Taipan
3 AJ
4 Tommy (yes even Tommy, he was playing against world class opposition, not the hacks Vickerman was facing)
5 Sharpie
6 Wolverine
7 Bamm Bamm
8 Brown Dog
9 Chrisso (Shaded Chucky this week)
10 No Question
11 Mini Mitch
12 Lachie
13 Crossy
14 Spanner
15 Shep

Any arguments!

Growden's full of light blue shit!
