The Rock said:True, his form this year warrants one, even without his Origin form. Surely Hayne has got himself one. But where do you put him? Do you put him in over Boyd? Boyd's never done anything wrong at Aus level and I know how much Aus like to keep the incumbents.
Yeah but Hayne's form is irresistible. I'd put him in over Slater personally...but that won't happen. So Boyd is the man who misses out.
Aus team (if all players were fit):
1. Slater
2. Hayne
3. Inglis
4. Hodges
5. Folau
6. Lockyer (c)
7. Thurston
8. Price
9. Smith
10. Civoniceva
11. Creagh
12. Thaiday
13. Harrison
14. Watmough
15. Hannant
16. Bailey
17. Wing
I prefer Harrison over Watmough because he's more consistent, has better ball skills and will work better with Lockyer, Smith and Thurston. Watmough tends to only do well when there's frailties in defence. He's cod ordinary against a solid defence, so he's better coming on as a replacement.
Wing was NSW's most dangerous player in game 1 and 3 IMO (other than Hayne) and would be the ideal utility.
