Isaac,

How did they choose each club's nomination?

It would have been good to potentially see a repeat of THAT DUNK (or better) from Willie....

Not sure. Probably the coaches or team made the choice.

Oscar got a trophy or something from a dunk competition in China or Malaysia (can't remember) a couple of years ago on a trip, but I can't imagine the competition was too strong! I think the crowd liked the exhibition though.

The teams each selected a player to be entered. There are two teams who didn't nominate, hence there is only 11 candidates. I would have though Farley would be nominated over Forman though...

I think you will find Farley selected into the All Star team, and therefore would become ineligible for the Dunk comp.

Of course, should he not get in the all star comp......

Oh I see, it's one or the other, I haven't seen Oscar dunk yet so I'm eager to see what he can do...

They asked around at training and Farley didn't want to enter.

I'm surprised that none of the young guys from the Razors or Breakers wanted the free holiday to Townsville!

Either that or they think the trophy should just be given to Freeman now.

Does Oscar have some nice dunks in his arsonal? I'm struggling to visualise him doing anything other than a quick flush but presumably he's got something special in store.

Let's hope Elle McFeast doesn't ruin the comp this year as a celebrity judge, Brett Rainbow was the 4th best dunker in his second victory after Calvin Talford, Marion Donaldson and Lean Trimmingham but attention seeking McFeast game him 10s and the others 5s completely ruining any hope of a fair contest. Damn you Elle, I'm still bitter!!!
