Klemmer, Dan, KP, Pearce, Glasby, Brailey, Barnett, Watson, Lee and Herman would all be lock picks for me.
That's our five Origin players, Watson and Barnett who were in the top four players last year, and three specialists in Lee, Brailey and Herman.
Competition for the outside backs, 5/8 and backrow/bench.
Regulars over the last few years who can play a few positions but are pretty ordinary at all of them need not apply.
Herman? I'd say one of the chances was very underwhelming last year, ditto with Fitz(yes know you didn't mention him.)
Not at you slots, but to all the Brown couldn't coach, not sure that's the case, he lost the dressing room, and that's happened to plenty of great coach's, he did well at the Dragons with a good roster, ESL with a poor roster and had a patch we're we looked like we'd beat anyone.
I have my thought's once he started to have at them to win rather than compete once we had the roster the boys didn't like it and well we saw what happened we went from top 4 likely's to bottom 4 specials again in a matter of weeks.
