Just comparing sides and the players in the posistions mentioned.

In bold the players i'd prefer in my side.

Matt Blaymire -- Halley
Damien Blanch -- Sheriffe
Sean Gleeson -- Sykes
Ryan Atkins -- Crookes
Aaron Murphy --Tadulala
Tony Martin --Menzies
Danny Brough --Jeffries
Oliver Wilkes -- Lynch
Tevita Leo-Latu -- Newton (consistency and due to playing more game time)
Steve Snitch -- Koppy
Dale Ferguson -- Langley Looking a real prospect.
Kevin Henderson -- Cook Cant pick either hendo been poor last few yrs however this year playing much better.
Jason Demetriou -- Burgess

Probably the toughest choice ive had to make, burgess a really talented player with a huge amount of potential / future in this game. Against JD, our captain fantastic tries his heart out every game puts 100% in, has had to overcome real adversity both individually and had to be at the fore-front of the recovery from the Watene and Walker Incidents - so for wakefield (my team) id choose Demetriou, for any other burgess would be my selection.

Brad Drew -- Solomona
Danny Sculthorpe -- Scruton getting some games under his belt, getting his fitness levels up, making many yards and chances.
Jay Pitts -- Worrincy
Kyle Bibb -- Donaldson

Cant comment havent seen much of either of bradfords side, however our young players from our academy arent letting us down and tbf are playing really well.

To miss out
Scott Grix
Richard Moore

got to agree with 99% of that

Menzies isnt a 6 though is he . Isnt he an international forward, so if I had of put him at 8 or 10 he would have been my selection easily.

Admittedly Martin isnt a recognised 6 either but this year he's proves somewhat a revelationa and calming affect on our side that helps brough and drew tear sides apart. Which hopefully you'll soon expierence.

Menzies is more of a 6 than Martin is and he's never played 8 or 10.

I don't see the point of taking a slot on the bench for Platt, who isn't going to features unless someone gets injured. As well as Menzies, who could move to the centres, I believe that I remember Langley playing in the backs before now. And didn't Worrincy sometimes play centre for Quins?

I'd start with the same 13 that played the bulk of Friday i.e Crookes for Nero. Use Solo as impact from the bench. He obviously isn't going to be fit enough to play more than 20-30 minutes. I'd have either Olbiston or Donaldson as the other person on the bench. Everyone is going to be knackered after Friday, and having a fresh young gun coming off the bench might be a real help to the pack.

Fair enough
Anywhere in the forwards and I would have chosen him on what I have seen in NRL.

I see the guys point actually, I mean, who wouldn't want Steve Menzies over Tony Martin, anywhere on the field.
