Early side so the ones in there trying to retain their spot, the ones not selected expect some of them to fire and try and get in
33 selected
7 overseas
6 injury and 3 rehab (what’s the difference here makes you think as Bell, Tupou and leota maybe certain once back? And the others I think Phillip, rodda, Fainga'a and mafi will be big chance to get in
so 49 selected overall, I think about 10 of the 33 won’t make it with injuries and overseas players selected so will be hard for ones outside to get in
surprise - Donaldson, schoupp, wilken, flook although last 2 playing well
Not starting in club but I like - uelese, pone
beale could come back in contention?
overseas I’m surprised Sio not selected - dominate loose head and we don’t have a strong 3rd loosie behind slips, bell
Arnold and foley surprises
unlucky - Wilson, McDermott, o Conner, Gorden, Noah
Possible close - Wright, dauganu, Campbell, Perese, Toole, muirhead, gibbon,
Odds and ends - HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes), swinton, gamble, edmend, talakai
I think Donaldson, flook, schoupp, uelesi, wilken and hanigan won’t be there once injury and overseas players back
