[lotti]

there's Orford, hopefully he'll continue to shine and not get injured which is why he's not played for NSW he's been injured when he's been called up and had to turn them down because he's wanted to play at his best for his state.

4. Gasnier
5. Lewis?
6. Anasta
7. Finch
8. Kite
9. Buderus

13. Bird

Based on last night (if that reveals anything about the selectors intentions?)

1. Stewart
2. Hayne
3. Gasnier
4. Monaghan/ Harris
5. Roberts
6. Bird
7. Finch
8. Kite
9. Buderus
10. Mason
11. Laffranchi
12. Hoffman
13. Gallen

14. K Gidley
15. Tupou
16. Cross
17. ?? most likely White - but they might pick someone like Hindmarsh or Ryan for experience in camp.

I can't see how Anasta will get picked based on last nights game - he looked great for 5 minutes, then totally vanished.

I didn't follow the news closely enough, BUT what happened to Cooper? Was he not selected, or is he not fit? And Chris Lawrence? I would've thought he was a REAL chance at sneaking in on the wing?

Cooper withdrew because of a back injury.

After last night it looks pretty close to what I think they will pick.

[hutch]

Mason and Laffranchi could slot in to cover prop spots

So Hoffman won't make the team :shock:

 

[Dutchy]

Not with the team I want and how they would play..

Not destructive enough

 

[oldmancraigy]

I think it's pretty obvious that this is what MOST of the team will look like:

1. B Stewart
2. J Hayne
3. M Gasnier
4.
5.
6. G Bird
7.
8. B Kite
9. D Buderus
10. W Mason
11. A Laffranchi
12. R Hoffman
13. P Gallen

14. K Gidley
15. A Tupou
16. B Cross
17.

So basically there are 4 spots up for grabs still!
Bird MIGHT be picked at lock, but that would mean either 1 of Laffranchi/ Gallen/ Tupou/ Hoffman don't make the team OR we run with 2 second rowers on the bench.
