1. Graham - Obvious
2. G Burgess - Almost at obvious
3. T Burgess (for the sole reason that I've been informed that he's catching up George)
4. Hill - Star performer in the SL
5. Amor - Whilst it took him a while to get going again after his injury, his early season form was excellent and he's looked good agin over the last few week. A good rounded game.
6. Crabtree - to be honest, I'm not sure if he's in good form at the moment, but I wanted to pick someone that brought something a bit different, so it was him or Walmsley. I feel Crabtree's not got the silly mistakes Walsmley has, which could cost us dearly at international level. Eorl's shown up well in internationals and tend to look good on a bigger stage. Walmsley's had an up and down season and, imo, should be annoyed with himself that he's not cemented an place in the squad.

Huby unlucky, I suppose, but I've gone with Amor.

Graham, Hill and the twins are all certainties and will be the first-choice rotation.

Of the rest, I'm not sure:

Amor: Not far away, in good form.
Walmsley: No, too many errors and average footwork would be exploited at this level.
Taylor: I like him, but out of favour at club level. Would be a bolter.
Crabtree: Haven't been impressed this season, I'd prefer to give someone new a go
Lynch: Has been overlooked for years despite showing up well for the majority, face obviously doesn't fit and I reckon his time has gone.
Huby: Don't think he's as good as made out this season. Solid enough but not one to trouble the Aussies.
Luke Burgess: Not good enough
Cooper: Gone well this year and McNamara has probably seen more of him than anyone over here this year. Possible.
