This position has been much debated because of the injury to Johns. The only three contenders for this spot are Gower, Kimmorley and Orford.
Gower will tour because he's been great all year, and also plays Hooker. I'd actually select him there, because he's lightyears ahead of Buderus and let Wing come off the bench. Orford has also been in great form.
Now, don't get started on Sherwin. After watching a couple of his videos teams have worked out his kicking game and it is becoming less effective. His running game is average compared to the likes of Kimmorley and Orford. Sherwin also doesn't have the ability to stand up and dominate a game, except against lesser clubs like Souths. He's never dominated against say, the Broncos and in a losing side that has been dismal all year, Kimmorley played all over him.
Kimmorley is NOT overrated. The media bigots have got people thinking he is only there because of Anderson and it has destroyed his rep career. Everytime someone mentions his name, you hear the brainwashed, idiotic comments of "overrated", "mercenary" and so on.
