You don't get a lot of choice. It's mandatory to have 12 of your top 25, inc 1 of the top 5.

I would say Aubbo will be the top 5 one.

[fletch]

lol the official Roosters twitter feed just apologized for the delay in releasing the team.

[Johnny Tobin]

I'd be mortified if they did.

Imagine losing a key player to an ACL in that Mickey Mouse tournament.

I can't believe Thurston is playing. Madness.

A mix of speed, talent and duds, should be interesting

I would say Aubbo will be the top 5 one.

I have huge respect for Aubbo but there is no way on earth he should be one of our top 5 highest paid players. It would be Guerra who is in the top 5 highest paid players and that is because he somehow duped the club in giving him 500 grand a season a couple years back.

that team will achieve the desired result, no fulltime dummy half and Cornish the only real half, will be 3 games and then come home.

I have no problem with that. In fact, I have no intention of watching.

[kakaruk]

Watching Mitchell having a run in the centers will be interesting but that's about it, having a look at tetevano and carter having a run as well i suppose.Yeah 3 games and home robbo isn't taking any chances is he.fair enough too.Waste of time really entertaining though.

All respect to Aubo and LM, but what a shit side. I'm very happy to see we are not wasting our real team in this garbage tournament.

Plenty of footy in that line up, should be solid defensively with speed to burn looking forward to watching, the new look Matterson along with Tetevano, Frei, Lewis, Carter and young Sheck..

Dummy halves? Carter, Aubbo or Watson. Halves? Watson or Cornish, Carter. How many do want? Its 9's
