FR - Webcke, Civoniceva
Hooker - Smith
2R - Tallis, Beetson

was close to having Gillmeister in there but went with thaiday and Miles for there versatility

No Tonie Carroll on the list? Some great players not included

How good is that 1-7

QLD

FB: Lockyer
Wings: Shearer & Folau
Centres: Meninga & Inglis
5/8: Lewis
Halfback: Thurston
Lock: Linder
Second row: Tallis & Gillmeister
Props: Scott & Webke
Hooker: Smith

Reserves: Linder, Civoniceva, D.Smith, S.Walters


Some tough calls to make leaving Artie and Geno out. Not sure about Walters on the bench as Smith is an 80 minute player, would have loved to see Jason Smith available for selection though!!

Linder is doing well to play lock and have a bench spot, no Alfie either?

Yeah I rate Linder that highly I think he handle both roles, after all he was from the era when interchange was rare!! I actually meant to include Myles as lock. I went for JT at. 7 over Alf due to husband superior kicking game. With Folau and Inglis in the back line I think they would be better serviced by JT but tough call to make as Alf was a champion!

 

[parrathruandthru]

does JT's husband play too?

 

[Brendan_B]

Not sure, if he did though it would be even worse for the poor old blues

Alfie the unlucky 18th man then
