Bowen misses QLD selection - racism at work??

[Willis 21]

Bowen has been the form fullback this year, but surprisingly has missed out on the QLD team to Khunt who is a bloody kiwi as well!!!

I suspect racism at work here, and will await the media outrage like what happened with Merritt...

Who's with me??

Sad but true, they reckon it's because Khunt has such a good connection with Lockyer but I reckon they would have picked him anyway even if Lockyer is injured. As sad as it is, QLD needs Khunt as well to make Lockyer look good - remember, it's a rep game and one of the only times a year Lockyer steps up.

I dont buy all this racism stuff, sorry. There must be other reasons. It's hard to believe in this day and age that this could be true. Especially with so many Aboriginal players being such excitement machines. It would hurt them financially and in performance not to choose them if they are good enough. It would be nice to have their an official statement on why players are not chosen though. Would be interesting to anylise the selection criteria.

I believe its because the Broncos are the preference when it comes to players I doont think it is racism not QLD anyways.

Read this weeks Koori Mail Dean Widders wrote a great article on NSW selectors and the stereotypes etc very well written IMO

Nah ya cant say that what about the other Murri fellas in the team Hodges, Thurston etc

I don't think its racism, they might bring him in for the next 2 games, but its not racism..with the wealth of talent that is in QLD its a bit hard for them to chose everyone..

Lisaj I dont believe its racism either I believe its more to do with his height why else would the Inform fullback in the NRL totally miss reps that is discusting he should be there he deserves the spot
