Ex-NRL Super League players who didn't get picked up: Keith Lulia Adrian Purtell Weller Hauraki Jordan Tansey Nathan Massey Grant Millington Damien Blanch Mark Bryant David Howell Brett Seymour Evarn Tuimavave Kylie Leuluai Mitchell Achurch Ryan McGoldrick Liam Foran Shannan McPherson Vic Mauro Chris Nero Mark Flanagan Richie Mathers Taulima Tautai Blake Green Rhys Hanbury Patrick Ah Van Hep Cahill Willie Isa Cameron Phelps
He actually had a really good year in Super League Premiership winning five-eighth. I don't think anyone would say he was "carried" by Matty Smith either (the other way around if anything). Tomkins obviously helps the halves a lot though.
Had many of these in my head. Michael Luck didn't get chosen either. i would have but have more than enough smaller middle thirders.
Ex-NRL Queensland Cup "stars" who didn't get picked up: Alan Rothery Shane Neumann Dane Hogan John Te Reo Brett Anderson Semi Tadulala Donald Malone Ian Lacey Liam Georgetown Aaron Cannings Ty Williams Jake Marketo Brent Crisp Marshall Chalk Possibly a few more, only looked at the lineups for a few rounds. There are a whole heap of cunts with current NRL contracts who didn't get picked up as well.
Ex-NRL NSW Cup "stars" who didn't get picked up: Jarrad Hickey Nick Skinner Shane Shackleton Ben Jones Eddie Paea Etu Uaisele Junior Tia Kilifi I think those are the only ones I noticed without NRL contracts. Noticed lots of cunts I think do have NRL contracts though.
Oh he's definitely crap. I'm sure sticking Papalii in the halves would be a better idea. Eligible because he played NSW Cup for the Tigers this year though.
Uncontracted NRL blokes: Dunamis Lui David Hala Scott Anderson Jordan Kahu Kris Keating Matt McIllwrick Sami Sauiluma Bill Tupou Jake Foster Jarrad Kennedy Jon Green Tupou Sopoaga Stewart Mills Matthew Wright Sam Irwin Mark Ioane Jordan Rankin Jordan Atkins James Hasson Jordan McLean Slade Griffin Siosaia Vave Travis Waddell Ricky Thorby Ngani Luampe Peni Terepo Vai Toutai Junior Paulo Patrick O'Hanlon Ben Smith Semi Radradra Taniela Lasalo Matt fucking Robinson Josh Starling Matt King Nathan Green Tinirau Arona Pretty sure there's more than that. Also probably a couple of guys on there who got taken. But yeah.
