As it stands at the moment, I am assuming that Watmough, Gallen, B Morris (somehow) and TLL (unjustly) will be picked for Australia. If Luke Lewis is fit, he should be picked for Australia too, and should be an incumbent for the NSW team, so none of these four players require CvC selection:
City:
1. Jarryd Hayne
2. William Hopoate (bolter, but in amazing form right now)
3. Mark Gasnier
4. Michael Jennings
5. Beau Champion (natural centre, but I'd throw him onto the wing in this situation - I'd have Chris Lawrence if he was fit)
6. Peter Wallace
7. Mitchell Pearce
8. Tim Mannah
9. Robbie Farah
10. Tim Grant
11. Mark Minichiello
12. Trent Waterhouse
13. Braith Anasta / Liam Fulton
14. Jamie Buhrer (yes, a bolter...I like the look of him)
15. Simon Dwyer / Tom Symonds (bolters, but both are huge talents)
16. Keith Galloway
17. Shane Shackleton
We are probably scraping the bottom of the barrel with the City selections. There aren't exactly many 'unlucky' ones here
Country
1. Josh Dugan
2. Michael Gordon
3. Jamal Idris
4. Josh Morris
5. Akuila Uate
6. Jarrod Mullen
7. Kurt Gidley / Luke Walsh (Walsh is the better half, but Gidley always finds a way into these teams - I'd have Todd Carney if he was available)
8. Aiden Tolman
9. Michael Ennis
10. Luke Douglas
11. Ben Creagh
12. Chris Heighington
13. Dean Young
14. Greg Bird
15. Joel Thompson / Beau Scott (either)
16. Tom Learoyd-Lahrs (should be Trent Merrin IMO, but TLL is the incumbent)
17. Kade Snowden
Canberra flyers Blake Ferguson and Jarrod Croker are the unlucky outside backs. Dragons boppers Dan Hunt and Trent Merrin are the unlucky props. Knights duo Chris Houston and Corey Paterson are the most unlucky of the backrowers, alongside Raider Joe Picker, and Rooster Mitch Aubusson.
