On Sunday night the Australian selectors will announce the Australian team for the ANZAC test against New Zealand. A few difficult decisions will need to be made between now and then as positions are still undecided because too many players are in good form.
Fullback
Billy Slater (Melbourne/QLD). The Melbourne fullback has been the standout player of the NRL in 2008 and deserves the spot. Incumbent Brett Stewart (Manly/NSW) will feel unlucky to miss out but Slater cannot be overlooked. There are no bad fullbacks in the game with Luke Patten (Bulldogs/NSW), Karmichael Hunt (Broncos/QLD), Anthony Minichello (Roosters/NSW), Ben Hornby (Dragons/NSW) and Matt Bowen (Cowboys/QLD) more than capable of playing.
Wingers
Greg Inglis (Melbourne/QLD) and Israel Folau (Melbourne/QLD). Combining with Slater, the Kangaroos should have an all Melbourne-Queensland back three more than capable of mauling the Kiwi’s. Despite both Inglis and Folau playing out of position, there inclusion is a must. Other wing contenders could be Jarryd Hayne (Eels/NSW) and Eric Grothe (Eels/NSW) but their club’s form will dampen their chances.
Centres
Mark Gasnier (Dragons/NSW) and Justin Hodges (Broncos/QLD). Gasnier and Hodges pick themselves and that is why Folau and Inglis move to the wing. If Gasnier or Hodges were unavailable then Inglis or Folau would move from wing to centre with Hayne or Grothe coming into the side. The only other possible centre option is Jamie Lyon (Eagles/NSW).
Five-Eighth
Darren Lockyer (Broncos/QLD). He is the best player in the NRL still but if there is a fitness cloud then Braith Anasta (Roosters/NSW) is the next best option, in career best form.
Halfback
Jonathan Thurston (Cowboys/QLD). Thurston is back to his best and is the best Number 7 in the game. Scott Prince (Titans/QLD) would not look out of place if Thurston was unavailable.
Props
Willie Mason (Roosters/NSW) and Petero Civoniceva (Panthers/QLD). Difficult position to choose as there is a lot of talent in the NRL but Mason has had a brilliant season since moving to the Roosters and Civoniceva carries the Panthers on his back, both deserving of selection. Other props include Luke Bailey (Titans/NSW) if fit or Brett White (Storm/NSW), Antonio Kaufusi (Storm/QLD).
Hooker
Cameron Smith (Storm/QLD). The incumbent Australian captain should retain his position despite Danny Buderus (Knights/NSW) in very good form, Smith has done nothing wrong and is making the dummy half position his.
Second-Row
Anthony Tupou (Roosters/NSW) and Ryan Hoffman (Storm/NSW). There are a number of second-rowers but Tupou and Hoffman are the leading second rowers in the NRL. Michael Crocker (Storm/QLD), Nathan Hindmarsh (Eels/NSW), Luke O’Donnell (Cowboys/NSW), Andrew Ryan (Bulldogs/NSW), Paul Gallen (Sharks/NSW) and Anthony Laffranchi (Titans/NSW) are more than capable of representing Australia but there are only two positions although some bench spots are still up for grabs.
Lock
Dallas Johnson (Storm/QLD). The form Number 13 and specialised 13, Johnson deserves his position in the side. Greg Bird (Sharks/NSW) is also a contender.
Interchange
Greg Bird, Nathan Hindmarsh, Anthony Laffranchi, Kurt Gidley (Knights/NSW). If Lockyer plays then the selectors will need to select a pivot to cover a potential injury. This bench is versatile and can accommodate many changes with Bird capable of playing five-eighth, lock or second row. Gidley playing anywhere in the backline or hooker and Laffranchi and Hindmarsh are dominating forwards that can slot into the second row or prop position. This bench is balanced and gives the Australian team many options. Although there is not a specialised prop on the interchange, I think the forward pack can accommodate this versatility.
