Jared Whaerea-Hargreaves, Cameron Smith, James Graham

Interchange: Isaac Luke, Andrew Fifita, George Burgess, Frank Pritchard

How can you put Graham in starting team over George Burgess? No chance!

Because James Graham can play a full 80 minutes if necessary. George Burgess cannot do that and is more of an impact player off the bench.

Fifita is the most overrated player currently in the NRL.

On what grounds? He can't kick goals?

He carries the ball up and down the field with consistent results, tackles strong and makes breaks. Cracking front rower. Better than test front rowers Tamou and Scott

Hall over Charnley on this season's form?

If this is selected on form, Charnley is head and shoulders the right winger for this side. But still, given the choice of the two, I'd pick Hall. I don't know why, he just seems the more complete player and rarely gets outplayed. That being said, I would have Monaghan over both.

Mental.

I presume you don't watch much NRL?

It didn't take long for the thread to degenerate into a parochial “my team should have a representative in a dream team”

Charnley has issues in defence that Hall does not have.

Of course some might argue that Jarryd Hayne as a winger is better than either of them.

Honestly John? Why do this before the world cup?

Anyway, fwiw...

1 - Inglis
2 - Tuivasa Shek (Just because his footwork is amazing to watch)
3 - Lyon
4 - Hodges (if fit - if not, Watkins)
5 - Hall
6 - Foran (Best all round 6 in the world - has everything in attack and has rock solid defence)
7 - Cherry-Evans (Although behind Cronk for QLD because of the 'spine', I actually think hes a better all round player)
8 - Sam Burgess
9 - Smith
10 - Warea-Hargreaves
11 - Luke Lewis
12 - SBW
13 - Gallen

14 - Nate Myles
15 - G Burgess
