While Brisbane NRL coach Anthony Griffin is uncertain whether Australia's most-capped forward Petero Civoniceva will be handed his 46th Test jumper later this month, he says Queensland selectors would be "crazy" not to pick him for another State of Origin campaign.

The giant Fijian-born prop has had a slower-than-expected start to the 2012 season following major off-season surgery and a suspension during the trials which delayed his NRL comeback with the Broncos.

Taumololo is a kiwi I think. I know he played for the Junior Kiwis.

I'd probably have Brett morris on the wing over Jennings, but can't complain with that lineup really.

 

[josh11223344]

he declared for QLD the other week... You must be ecstatic

Meanwhile NSW settle for tamou

 

[josh11223344]

Morris does deserve the wing spot but I really want jennings in the team somewhere due to how lethal he is in attack. I would like to see him some time in the future play international footy on the wing.

You gotta remember that Sheens is the coach. Tuqiri will be picked over Jennings. Tate would also be an outside chance based purely on "been there, done that".

I also reckon they'll go with 4 "real" props and Gal with play in 13 - and for me, having Gallen, Lewis and Cronk in the 17 negates the need for a "utlity" player because you are covering any injury in your squad with those 3.

josh morris from bulldogs been in great form

haha yeah I can imagine him pulling some crap selection like tuqiri.

josh morris from bulldogs been in great form

Yeah, he's absolutely carving up matt king. Has recovered from being a spastic last year.

 

[dragons]

cant u find other words . spastics cant help the way they were born . so why put them down . just like you are the way you were born
josh and brett in the test team

 

[josh11223344]

yeah whatever.

 

[A.Snowden]

I hope that team is nothing to what it looks like when it's announced

 

[josh11223344]

oh yeah after thinking about who I missed hayne has to be on the wing instead of jennings. If sheens puts boyd there I wont be happy.

Watching that bunnies game also I forgot dave taylor, he should be in the bench backrow spot.

 

[dragons]

hayne train just got rushed back from inuries

 

[sharks2010]

And he had a great game last weekend

I may be the only League fan out there that doesn't give a hoot about the result - only that the likes of Gallen and Smith do NOT get injured!!
