Also the North Queensland Jersey that will be worn by these players has been announced, With Subway lending their support as the major sponsors:

They look very strong but id like to see Hodges in the centres but its your team and we will see what happens. Who is the South QLD team coach?

Andrew Young is the Sth QLD coach.

Hodges should probably be running on ahead of Hannay, and put Hannay on the bench in place of Seymour, who has ordinary stats.

Chris

Yeah thats what i was thinking cause Hannay doesnt really have a chance in making the QLD team and Hodges does and i would like to see him there.

Yeah I thought that too, but I don't really have any goal kickers (besides Hannay)
I would have wanted to put Hannay in the forwards and Hodges in the centres, but it wouldn't work because in the sim Hannay is a winger

Plus my forward depth aint the best

I selected Seymour probabaly because he was named in the Queensland shorthlist mainly, I had no Idea of his stats

RHYS WESSER HAS BEEN RULED BY CHRIS WALKER-BUSH AS A STH QLD PLAYER AS HES FROM ROCKHAMPTON AND ROCKY IS IN THE STHS ZONE.. PLEASE CHANGE!

Just confirming that I did make that ruling.

Chris

Chris I thought you made the Border the Tropic of Capricorn

If the tropics aren't the border then what is?

Also will Shannon Hegarty be able to play this game or will he still be injured?

Yeah, you're right, I did.

Last night I couldn't get my hands on an atlas or even a map of QLD to show exactly where the tropic was.

My bad, I reverse my ruling.

Hegarty should be fine to play.

Chris

With Paul Bowman unavailible for the match I have replaced him with Steve Kefu, as a result the North Qld team looks like this
