I have no real problem with picking specialists for their role. It makes sense. BUT...
Why wasn't Lote picked in the first place if Sheens was concerned with the lack of "specialists" in the team? If he was happy to play a fullback on the wing in Hayne, if he was consistent, there would be no problem in replacing Hayne with Boyd a member of the all conquering QLD team as a winger.
Fact remains, Lote will come in and do an excellent job as would have Boyd. I do feel for Darius as he deserves a Test jumper based on how he has played this season from where I sit. Whilst he wasn't going to unsurp Slater, Boyd on the wing as he has done so successfully for QLD wasn't going to weaken the team.
