Conal McInerney is a late call up to the PONI list. Would that put him ahead of either BPA or Horton?
Personally, I would have both Blyth and Lee-Warner in front of Rob Simmons, but I guess you all know that.
Dempsey for sure out of that lot. Swinton looks like a wannabe hardman and is not yet up to test standard. Is Stander even eligible?
Not much to discuss about the backs. Omitting Harrison to accompany Lolesio in their development paths could be a missed opportunity. I'd take Magnay from your list of extras, but I query why not Paisami?
EDIT : just a thought - why no player under the Giteau rule, or whatever replaces it? I reckon Rory Arnold would be there in an eye blink if the rules are amended to allow it.
It might, but Mcinerney for me is journeyman material, not wallaby material. Amosa has a dynamic point of difference (but can't throw), as does Horton (but is tiny)
I think you can't pass up Simmons for a spot as one of 6 spots. Wallaby insider says he is undoubtedly the best set piece lock in Aus, plus imagine how much Hosea and Blyth could learn from him. His brain is what we need, not his muscle.
Stander is eligible and in the PONI squad, but I think Dempsey would be my go to aswell
I thought Paisami was injured but saw this morning he is back in. I'd potentially take both him and Magnay over Godwin. I did not omit Harrison.
If eligibility get's tweaked for this campaign then I'd go for Rodda and Skelton as they are the 2 locks that will most likely come back for a WC push. I love Arnold but I don't think he will ever come back
