        Wings and halfback could be tricky.

          I can think of a couple of decent wingers

            @Crucial Also wondering how Nick Evans fits in. Him to 15 and Osborne to wing?

                    @Tim Your backs will be stacked with an awesome midfield combo to feed the Gear brothers (or Rush).

                      We even had a bit of lomu too but to be fair he was mud at the time!

                      Midfield will be hard to go past Little and Bunce.

                          @JK Granted but there others that should be considered for a nanosecond. Tipoki, Mayerhoffler, Osborne. Te Nana on the wing

                            @JK Yeah, can't go past that combo. Scott Pierce was a quality player. Luke MacAlister next off the bemch. Tuitavaki, Michael Little, Saili all good value. Aussie Mike Harris stepped up for Queensland rather than Harbour.

                              Am I missing anyone from the nineties?

                                  Kevin Schuler was more of a six wasn't he?

                                        @Chris-B I hope you're not talking about Canterbury flouting the rules by loaning him out to Tasman. Where he played three games ...

                                                        Kevin Schuler was more of a six wasn't he?

                                                        Dillon Hunt would be ahead of Parkinson and Simpson.

                                                            Ron Williams another worth consideration for the bench?

                                                              Ant over Sharkey for me. Pod (since we're using nicknames) is up against Buck so easy to overlook him I guess. If you don't use him we might put him the Magpies team.
