I look at the Dragons side, and frankly I dont really see anyone who belongs in the Australian side (i.e. best in slot), this is what I have said all year.. we are playing beyond our abilities as a disciplined team, and this is why I get frustrated when we are compared to the other sides with "genuine" Origin and Internationals, who have the talent to play more razzle dazzle.
The only guys who have a chance are:
Creagh - Classy Backrower, but Lewis was best on field against England & Thaiday was outstanding too, but from the bench perhaps.
Morris - When in form he is a world class finisher, but he isnt in outstanding form right now, and he isnt as strong at creating opportunities from a stnding start, like a Hayne or Slater, or Gordon etc, and thats whats needed at rep level, you dont get the space like in the NRL.
Boyd - Maybe a wing spot, he is a class player, again not brilliant at creating opportunities out of nothing, and unfortunately for him, there are some freaks at Fullback in the NRL right now. However he did play well on the wing for QLD.
Cooper - His performance for NSW basically killed his chances, but he has the quality.. im not big on either Tate or Tonga, both are perfectly fine players, I just feel we have better out there, Tate is solid, but hes slow, and it was painful watching him mess up opportunities on the right, and not get the ball to Morris.
but agree with the others, there are some really questionable picks in the Australian Team.. Tuqori, Watmough & maybe Gallen getting starts makes no sense, I just think we have much better options.. likewise with Tonga & Tate.
