Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2083049, member: 1764"] You don't think the selectors already do? Mal Meninga and his crew would've been discussing Origin 2008 within a month of Game 3 2007. They'd be thinking about what young players are performing well, how the 2007 squad is performing post-Origin etc. Through the offseason they would've been keeping in touch with club doctors and coaching staff about players who have been there, or who have been earmarked for future honours about their performance/health/fitness. They'd have a pencilled in squad already, probably of 25-30 players which they'll be gradually forming various combinations of 17s out of. I don't see any problem in making predictions for rep team selection from now. Obviously the picture will change each week but by round 6 I reckon both teams will be 90% locked in and just a couple of positions in contention. Predicting top 8s and grand finalists? That's just crystal ball stuff of course. [/QUOTE]
