NSW Prop

[Booyah]

Bailey has one spot for sure.

As for the other spot, I don't think there has been anyone who has really stood up and grabbed it. There have been some strong performances from the usual contenders though.

As long as Josh Perry doesn't make it, I don't care.

Skandalis has been the form prop of the competition, and is playing the best footy of his career.

If he keeps it up for the next few weeks, he must go close.
He isn't useless - he is tough as, and while not as dynamic as someone like Clinton is pound for pound just as valuable for any team. He has to keep his form up though - he has struggled for consistency in the past.

Bailey, Davico, Skandalis and Clinton are the top 4 imo... all 4 should be there!

Ryles will have been out of the game for about a year & might not even be back from his very serious shoulder injury by the time Origin comes around...

Cheers,

John Skandalis has been playing awsomely this year for Wests....as someone else mentioned, consistency has been his downfall in the past, though he's been up with our best all season so far and bench for the blues would be a deserving reward.

What does Clinton do that deserves a spot? I know ch9 love him so his name is bandied about quite frequently but it's Lang that goes the hard yards in that team. Skando is playing good football & has been for the last couple of years but it would seem he is in the wrong colours. Woolnough was mentioned earlier & I have to admit he would definitly make at least a training squad for mine. As a pure dark horse type I could see Lance Thompson getting a chance as well.

Problem with that is, Lang is a Queenslander.

Woolnough? Is playing well but too many big names for him to make it.

Clinton runs hard every time he gets the ball, and makes more tackles than most other props.

 

[Cupid Stunt]

I didnt mean claim Lang, just that on the Panthers he is the hard man, not Clinton. Clintons ball security is suspect at best & his tackle count isnt that impressive. Yes he does beat some props but there are enough ahead of him as well.

Fair enough. I'd have Clinton for his hit-ups though, not his tackling.

Clinton on the Bench

Rhino can take Statue's spot in the next few years.

Rhino's just as good as Clinton (if not better), but he doesn't get enough game time at the moment to really show off his skills.

Has to Bailey and Clinton

Davico, Skandalis and O'Hara can fight it out for the other 2 spots.

This weekend's Saints Vs Wests Tigers will give the selectors a real look at Skandalis Vs Bailey If Skando can perform he is a real chance for a SOO bench spot. It will also be interesting to see how Bryce Gibbs the young Tigers prop goes against the Dragons I think he has only played 3 first grade games but went well against Sharks & Brisbane
