1. Brett Stewart
He NEEDS to come back into the team. He's solid, dependable and a prolific try scorer. Dugan is good too but Stewart adds that extra bit of stability and guidance that Dugan does not possess yet.
2. Brett Morris
He's rarely showed what he can do at Origin level and most probably needs to show more to be guaranteed a spot, but a lack of true alternatives gives him this position. Will be under threat from Hopoate and Ferguson.
3. Michael Jennings
The most outstanding blues backline player this year should be another guaranteed picked barring injury. He scored a fantastic individual try this year and after a year at the Roosters should be ready to continue with his great form at origin level.
4. Josh Morris
Picked solely to defend against Greg Inglis. Plays better than Brett Morris at this level but like his brother should be no certainty to play.
5 to 7 coming soon...
