Teams named on Sunday... a few injuries will make the squad a little more unpredictable.

Stephen Crichton set to get a gig.

Talking about the good guys for a minute...

Might be 1-2 centre/wing spots up for grabs. Val and Gagai will be 2 of them. There are plenty of options for wingers but not many centres. A lot of talk about Cobbo up here on Brisbane radio etc. because he looks great with the ball, but from a defensive point of view I'd consider having Val at left centre and picking Taulagi outside him. They are getting the job done nicely in attack and defence at club level.

There are a few injuries in the forwards (Welch, McGuire, Su'A) so Collins, Gilbert, Cotter and Fermor are all worth considering imho. Bit of hype around Nanai too - mostly because he scores tries from kicks - but for me he's a "get him in camp and pick him down the track" guy.

It would also be criminal to leave Ben Hunt out given the way he's played this season in the NRL and the last two years at origin. For me he's one of the first picked at #14.
