Message: [QUOTE="Rally Towel, post: 2667188, member: 8569"] 1. Slater 2. Chambers (Boyd) 3. Inglis 4. Hodges 5. Gagai 6. Thurston 7. Cronk 8. Scott 9. Smith 10. Myles 11. Guerra 12. Thaiday 13. Parker 14. Gillett 15. Lillyman 16. Papalii 17. McGuire Chambers and Gagai are our likely heirs apparent in the centres. Both have speed to burn and will be better for a year or twos apprenticeship on the wing. I am assuming Boyd is unavailable given his return from injury is still pending. Rest of the 13 picks itself. I don't buy into the theory that GI deserves the #1 over Slater. Billy has lost a yard of pace but his smarts, defensive positioning and support play are still the best in the business. Greg is a brute on his kick returns but other than that I think we're stronger with Slater at the back. Deliberated a bit on the bench. Not sure we need to carry a utility, though I'd we did I'd opt for Segeyaro, Hunt then DCE (in that order). I don't think the team requires it, so an inclusion would be purely for the purpose of a succession plan. McGuire would thrive in this arena. Hard runner, heavy hitter, bit of mongrel, big motor and no quit in him. I hope Mal agrees, his time has come. Lillyman is a good meat and potatos prop, reliable and experienced. Daresay he's been unlucky to be a fringe selection these last few years. Gillett is still a bit soft for my liking at origin level. Dynamic player but I wish he could dig deep and find a bit of a mean streak in there. If we still had Teo, I'd opt for his inclusion, purely for the mongrel factor. I do like that he has some utility value though. Papalii could stand to lose some weight I think. His form seems to have plateaued these last two years, but I maintain hope he'll come good. Taylor 18th man, for lack of other options. McQueen can **** right off. [/QUOTE]
