Looks like you can have any number of combinations in the City team and it would still look good. There will definitely be some unlucky players missing out or sitting on the bench. Let's hope it's a fair pick.
I can't see Country putting up much of a fight this year in the 13's. I was at the GC trials and some trainings and besides a couple of flankers (one from Eagles and the other #7 from Nerang), I don't see much else on offer. Nerang's two big boys wont be available, one with an injury and another for financial reasons but let's hope the other country teams can bring some talent to the Champs so the selectors have something to pick from. GC also missing a couple of good looking twin props (correct, there aren't any good looking props, I meant they play well), from the Hogs team who have pulled out - I saw them play a few months ago in a club game and they are a big loss to the GC and possibly Country.
Based on last year's Sunshine Coast team, I remember they had some good speed out wide but once again, if SC and DD can't make much impact in the depleted GC teams, I'm afraid the Country selectors will be scratching their heads. Let's hope however, they can pull some players together and at least make a game of it come City/Country time. The State Champs will be really interesting event to see who steps up, you never know there are always some surprises.
