    Like that team, possibly Creagh in for Lewis. As for centre I think Idris is next in line. Lawrence is not only injured but shit, he should be well down the list.

    Why have you left out players like Learoyd Lahrs, Mannah and Hunt but left Merrin and Galloway and even fucking Grant in there? So dumb.

    Shaun Fensom and Tariq Sims would have to be in any extended squad.

    I reckon Joel Thompson should be in that centres list considering you've listed retired players, players not interested and hopeless cunts.

    Such an ill thought through list.

    Tariq Sims is a freak, although I worry that he'd put in a Merrin-esque performance as his probably still feeling the effects of my shoulder from group footy like Merrin.

    To be fair if Brett White continues as he is he should be in contention. Playing the best footy of his career (which is actually better than most of the props named in the OP). I wouldn't pick him at this point but if he plays like this up until Origin 1 next year he'd be in contention for sure.

    He knocked out Steve Price as well which gives him a few extra origin points.

    Sims should get the nod over Lewis and Creagh.

    I'm with Wilson. Fensom is pretty close to being the lock in any team I name at the moment. He's an absolute freak. Absolutely outstanding defender and unlike Dallas Johnson he goes ok in attack too. Having that work horse up the middle would really, really help IMO.

    Also allows Bird, Lewis, Watmough to play on the edge where they're better.

    Absolutely. I think he'd solve alot of the problems with the current team.

    They need to get watmough to run straight not sideways.

    I'd consider Hayne at 6 as well tbh.

    Glad to see some are jumping on the Fensom bandwagon that I started. Either he or Gallen have to be lock. Bird and Watmough are not up to it defensively.

    As much as you want to conflate the two positions, defending at lock is not the same as defending at prop. Lock is a rover. Gallen and Fensom suit that more than Tolman.

    Plus, with Gallen at lock, you can pick another prop on the bench.
