With the plethora of candidates in some positions, CvC could actually be a slightly bigger deal than usual as far as a genuine selection trial. Without those in contention for Australian spots (Those who played in 2010; Gidley, Watmough, Bird, Hayne, Gallen, Morris, Lyon, TLL, Lewis), my teams would be:
City
1. Nathan Gardner
2. Blake Ferguson
3. Mark Gasnier
4. Beau Champion
5. Michael Jennings
6. Trent Hodkinson
7. Mitchell Pearce
8. Tim Mannah
9. Robbie Farah (c)
10. Trent Merrin
11. Simon Dwyer
12. Feleti Mateo
13. Mark Minichiello
14. Kris Keating
15. Tim Grant
16. Keith Galloway
17. Mitchell Aubusson
Country
1. Josh Dugan
2. Michael Gordon
3. Josh Morris
4. Jamal Idris
5. Akuila Uate
6. Todd Carney
7. Jarrod Mullen
8. Kade Snowden
9. Michael Ennis
10. Aiden Tolman
11. Nathan Hindmarsh (c)
12. Ben Creagh
13. Dean Young
14. Jamie Soward
15. Dan Hunt
16. Luke Douglas
17. Anthony Tupou
Not sure about the eligibility of some, but most should be in the right places. The second row is pretty much sewn up, but it should be a good opportunity for the props and outside backs to put their hands up as genuine bolters.
