My team would be:
1. Dugan
2. B Morris
3. Jennings
4. J Morris
5. D Tupou
6. J Hayne
7. M Pearce
8. P Gallen
9. R Farah
10. A Woods
11. Cordner
12. Watmough
13. T Merrin
Bench:
14. ????/Sutton???
15. J Tamou
16. W Graham
17. ?? another big bopper
My attitude is we need x-factor and points. Dugan and Hayne in the same side do it. Dugan is rocks or diamonds, we just need to hope he's diamonds. 5/8 for Hayne I think gets his hands on the ball more and he actually has a brilliant long kick.
Tupou is a threat in the air, plus can help negate the aerial ability of GI. Josh Morris has also done a brilliant job containing him in recent series so he's a no brainer for me.
Jennings is another who has points and above all devastating speed.
The big problem for me is now the big boppers up front with Fifita out and Tamou in pretty poor form. That means shoving Gal in prop...but with Bird out and Lewis not really fit enough it makes it hard to pick a back row. Cordner has points, I agree Choc hasn't been playing great, but he;s like Bird, whether playing well or not you pick him. He'll lift.
The bench is tough. I don't see the point in wasting a spot on J Reynolds, I'd prefer Sutton (and I hate Sutton), as he is a big body. The same with Wade Graham, he's played plenty of 5/8 but is a big tough, mongrel origin style player. So maybe he would be our no.14. But we're running out of options.
Tamou is picked for me because of a lack of other options.
That leaves space for another big bopper?? I don't know who is best here. I've been going through the teams and can't really find anyone.
