Hayne is, positionally, one of the worst fullbacks in the game.
On his form in the test match he would not even make my team on the wing.
1. Dugan
2. Morris
3. Jennings
4. Lawrence
5. Burt
6. Carney
7. Farah (Kimmorley will be picked)
8. Weyman
9. Ennis
10. Mason
11. Waterhouse
12. Watmough
13. Lewis
14. Bird
15. Galloway
16. Tom L.L
17. White
I am not a fan of Burt normally but he is a good option for the right wing. Good defensively, smart positional play and a great goal kicker.
No room for Lyon as Inglis makes him look ordinary every time they have matched up on a rep game roster.
Mason at prop because his form warrants it and a experienced head in the pack is what is needed.
Waterhouse over Creagh because I think Waterhouse is better suited to Origin. Runs similar lines and has more prescence.
Bird as my utility because he is a true utility and can play hooker, 5/8 backrow and centre if needed. Rather have a utility that can be used as a forward rather than having a forced rest for the hooker.
Farah at half won't happen but I see real advantage as he basically plays a bit of half even when hooker for the Tigers. A one two punch of he and Ennis could be very effective and a left foot kicker. His distributiuon to Carney would also be key.
Don't rate Perry at all and I was loathed to pick White but I was just not confident enough in Snowden as an impact player
