Tough to leave Hayne out, but I'd rather have Morris and Boyd who will play good/great every game where as you take a massive risk on Hayne either having a blinder or a shocker. Granted the chance he ****s it up in an Aussie team is far less than the chances he has a shocker for Parra, I still wouldn't pick him.

I'd have Snowy ahead of Shillington tbh.

Snowy has been brilliant for us all season.

I think he is a better player than Shillington is.

Shillington is the form prop of the NRL, he will be one of the first players picked for an Australian jersey. To ignore this is just one eyed dribble

Spot on. He has been in great form and no doubt be one of the first picked, but on origin form i would like to think TLL will get a mention. I would still love to see Kade get a run though

too much blue in the team, needs all the maroon flavour it can get

I don't get this. Why do should the national selectors pick along state lines (and I know they do)? Why not just pick the best 17?

Jennings and Lyon are the next best/most dangerous centres after Gringles (Given the Folau situ). Morris is the best winger. Gal one of the best 2 back rowers. TLL's in great form, he will be on the bench.

Anyway, if NSW had Thurston and Lockyer, it would have been 5-0 the other way.

You're rewarded by winning the series. Origin isn't a drawn out trial for the national side- as is shown every year by the number of blokes they pick from the GF sides who didn't play Origin.

F*** rugby league is way too political.

what about Uate he would have to be a big shot? It's been 2 years since he represented Fiji so he'll be eligiible.
