kimmorley has pulled out of the tri series later this year due to family problems...do you think orford will be looked at to play there? on his early form this year i would say he would get the number 7..but since then he hasnt really played to his best abilities.

Last word I heard was Prince's name being bandied around as possible Kangaroos halfback. Although that was a week or two ago.

It'll be Craig Gower. He's got the runs on the board.

Ox or Joey, but I would like the selectors to pick Ox over Joey.

Joey will still be in England for the first test match but he will be the number 7 for the remaining games. Orford won't even be considered unless you make the grand final. I'd expect Gower will get the nod but as with Orford a good finals performance might see Prince or Thurston in the picture.

Ox will have to string consecutive man of the match performances in every game between now and the first sunday of october to be considered for tri-nations.

Orford wont get it.

Unless there is a BIG change in the policy.

The talk from the NSW media will be....'he is untried at rep level' bah bah bah.

I hope he doesn't get just to hear him and others whine again. I'm starting to enjoy hearing the whine level sky rocket come Rep time between Kimmorley and Orford so this time I'll only be able to have a whine meter on one and not the two. ;)

It will be Joey. Warrington have dropped away, and the only reason he had to miss the first test is if they are in the Super League Grand Final. Can't see that happening
Storming our way to glory!

If Johns doesn't play, then Melbourne would have to win the GF for Matt Orford to get the Australian 7.

I think they'll give it to Trent Barrett.

Yeah, what do you reckon the odds would be on Tim Smith been halfback if parra win the comp?

I really have to say that the only way that Boofa played at that kick from Orford was if he cracked a fat.
