Knights possible Origin players and who to replace them with

Dan is being aggressive defensively, but his running lately has been so lacklustre, can't actually remember the last time he made 100m+
Agree he was a lot better last year with the ball in hand and a lot better this year in defense. He just needs to put both together now.
 
Plenty of others who should have got the spot over Dan imo. If NSW lose Pearce is going to have a mountain of **** put on him.
 
Dan bullied and bashed the Burgess boys a few weeks ago.
That is SOO level aggression.
Making metres would be good, but his job will be to come off the bench and kick arse and take names, probably for short minutes. Basically the same job Jake did so well for Fiji in the world cup.
 
The Tele have Dan as starting prop, I think he will be better off the bench for short minutes.
Nsw will still need another prop, Have to have 4 props in the team.
 
No different than saying a player isn't ready for first grade because he's not killing it in reserves. Athletes lift for the occasion. Forget anything DSaf's done he will try to be the Terminator next Sunday and last week showed physically he's up for it.
 
Dan got the spot in SOO because of the fire in the belly that he already has . Great to see him rewarded for all the hard work he has put in over the last couple of seasons . Personally he would be the last guy I would be running at he will break anyone he can get his hands on as long as its not Ponga .
 
Why?
Being recalled would of given him a huge boost in self belief even more so if they won the series with him at 7.
Or he plays terrible like he always does for NSW. Loses a heap of confidence and brings it back to club level.

Pearce not playing is great for the Knights.
