Dear God, do not let them select David Taylor.
We've seen far too many times in the past that selecting forwards whilst they are young screws them over. It's a rare few who manage to go on after selection as they were before. It took years for Brad Meyers, Corey Parker, Dane Carlaw, and the rest to get back into their best form. Some, like Carl Webb, were all-conquering for a short period and after that have never reached such heights again.
You can select young backs; that generally works. But forwards reach their prime in their mid-to-late twenties. David Taylor has struggled enough in the last two seasons to get any kind of consistency in his game. This season so far he has been impressive, but selecting him for Origin will stuff him for good.
