Australian Team for May 8th Test

What would you have? Personally, I think it should look like this:
1. Hunt
2. Monoghan
3. Inglis
4. Hodges
5. Folau
6. Lockyer
7. Thurston
8. Price
9. Smith
10. Civonaceva
11. Myles
12. Hindmarsh
13. Harrison
14. Slater
15. Thaiday
16. Kite
17. Laffranchi

*Waits to be called biased*
The simple fact is that NSW don't deserve any more than 4 people in the team, two of which were over-looked by nsw last year. The simple fact of the matter is that Qld are always going to have 9 of the run on 1-10. Slater on the bench with Hunt to the backrow is a proven combination. Kite's the 3rd best prop in the game. Then the backrow....Myles has been the best backrower over the last 3 origin series. Add to this his good club form for once and his ability to play up front and he's a must to start. Hindmarsh is also a proven rep performer so he's there. For lock, it came down to a choice between Johnson and Harrison with Hindmarsh in the second row. There's no need for 3 tackling machines. Harrison adds more in attack. That leaves two bench spots. Thaiday picks himself for both impact and awesomness. Laffranchi's the stand out second rower left unpicked imo. Therefore he's in.

 

So you're leaving Myles out? OR Hindmarsh? Because both are better than him imo.

 

Why would you break up a proven halves combination?

 

I don't think that he is a waste off the bench. He's not there for impact. He's there to keep things together. At rep level, I expect hindmarsh and Harrison to play only 60 minutes. I'd want Laffranchi on while each are having a rest to keep another high worker out there.
