So we have squad of 40 players named and there is no spot for Sean McMahon, George Smith, JOC (James O'Connor) or Luke Jones?
 

Deputy Van Halen

Larry Dwyer (12)
I want to believe that Jones is injured, that's the only logical explanation a proven under-performer like Mumm get's in over the form lock in the aus conference. No issues with Dennis though, had a good year.

Edit: Otherwise happy to see logic prevail in a few places around prop choices

Faulkner over Alexander?

Dennis, Horwill and Mumm over Jones?

No Vaea.......... Brumbieman is going to explode.

For the most part........ as expected..........

But seriously........ no Luke Jones?!

It's fair to say that most of us had him somewhere in the 23............

Well. Some poor selections still:


Arnold - I think he's a year off. Can't put him ahead of Coleman and definitely not Jones.

Faulkner - Offers very little. Seemingly as a 3rd tighthead but in this case I believe Alexander offers more
Giteau - As I noted earlier. Same flaws still exist in his game so surely he'd be 3rd choice at best at 10 or 12. Hardly merits a spot really
Kerevi - Has flaws which would be badly exposed at test level

McMahon - Not a test 6 and there's already 2 7's. Wasted spot.
Mumm - Poor selection. On experience he has never been a great performer for Australia, and his current form hasn't been amazingly compelling.
Naiyaravoro - I think he has too many flaws in his game and he offer zero versatility. JOC (James O'Connor), who I don't mind not seeing there at least offered versatility and a kicking option. Naiyaravoro is a little too one dimensional.

Just when you thought this thread couldn't get any sillier, there is now confusion over who is in. Don't rely on Twitter fullas.
