Personally that's my pack.
Too many QLD forwards waltz past the advantage line and made easy metres before been met by arm grabbing softies like Creagh, Perry, White, Waterhouse etc. Gallen, Watmough, Bird and Snowden working in tandem at least will put some QLD's on their backsides.
I really cannot see why players like Waterhouse, Perry and Creagh etc are rated - they are incredibly average players not up for Origin football. Some of the stats out of that forward pack on Wed night were simply disgraceful - Watmough pretty much covered all their stats combined on his own.
Watmough is 80 minutes of quality and you have Lewis to cover for the Bash brothers 15 minute break each. Weyman and Snowden will get us going forward, Mason and TLL will keep that going. I like Mason as a forward leader to lift the tempo - he's been brilliant for the Cows this year.
The farah selection i'm unsure about, but given the pack i've chosen i think a 30 minute burst of Farah could give QLD a lot of headaches and mix it up a bit.
I won't bother picking a backline, because tbh it's pretty depressing no matter who you select. Hayne needs to be fullback though.
