Corey Parker, Paul Gallen and Robbie Farah – Origin

Regardless of the reception any of them receive tonight they have all had brilliant careers in their own right.

A lot has been made about whether Gallen or Farah should have been selected for a long period of time now and in the end they have, been selected. I am sure both Gal and Robbie will leave nothing out there.

Corey Parker in particular has gotten better with age and I applaud his decision to retire and go out on top. I had the pleasure of playing Australian Schoolboys with Corey and he is a champion all round.

Congratulations and good luck to all of them tonight.
