I agree about Bird, I think he is more likely to get the 14. over Peachey. Who would you pair with Dugan?
Cordner and Graham will start together. Graham, as a former half, can pass both ways regardless of where he plays.
regardless of graham's history and play-making abilities, i'm putting myself in Daley's shoes.......he loves Jackson and he'll get the right forward spot. cordner is touted as captain so he'll be the left forward. #13 is a battle between J Trobj and Frizell for mine - the former is the best MF in NSW, the latter has been a beast for NSW in that position even though he plays as the right forward for the steelers. he's got the attributes to just play at high intensity in the middle for 20 or so minutes per half so rotating him with JTrobj is a given.
dugan will be paired with Ferguson. that's Daley's go to now on the right-side, just as it is for Meninga for the national team. so the right side attack/defence will consist of Pearce - Jackson - Dugan - Ferguson. I know, it looks lack spark on paper, but that's what it'll be.
on the left it will probably be Jennings & Hayne i'd say so the 4 on this side will be Maloney - Cordner - Jennings - Hayne. Obviously, Tedesco will chime in on attack too on either side.
