I genuinely think Teddy, Collins, Tupou, Watson, Crichton, Radley (assume he isn't eligible, although I remember reading something that said he was?) should all be picked. With that being said, I feel as though it might just be Crichton and Collins.
I haven't watched enough of where other clubs are at to know really. However I'd be thinking...
- Collins is one of the first picked for QLD. Walker might get called into camp for exposure or something but Munster, Hunt, DCE...etc have tenure and won't be punted but for injuries. I dunno! I've reached a point where I don't even think QLD has that much talent compared with NSW (NSW should be whooping @rse with the Riff's form!!!) it's just one of those things that QLD lives for. Who's in front of Walker when the above retire / get suspended / go down?
- NSW? Who knows!!! Who... knows. We always get beaten and gave a different team for each game. People can bag Teddy all they like but we're losing with Cleary at #7. IMO Teddy, Toops, Suaalii, Crichton, May, Nat and Keary could ALL get selected depending on the situation. Not at the same time and some are less likely. If our form continues though... our players and combinations will be at a premium. Not saying it 'will' happen but Crichton and Keary are combining well. I can see a world in which the selectors go for Keary, Crichton, Teddy and May. We'd survive without them too as Manu, Leniu, Wong and Sandon would all just slot-in.
Radley is ineligible having played for England in the last world cup.
James Tedesco and Lindsay Collins are certs
Others in mix include - Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii and Angus Crichton - some smokies in Connor Watson and Nat Butcher apparently being considered

This team looks pretty close I reckon. Personally I'd go Lomax & Hynes/Burton over JAC & Luai.
I think Watson is a good shout at 14, currently killing it, super fit, offers leg speed and is a genuine utility which is a rarity. I have a funny feeling Edwards get picked by Madge before Teddy. Which would suck for him but I think it'd be great for us, it'd likely stoke a big reaction by him. Just my take on it.
Collins is a shoe in. So we will potentially be without Teddy, Collins, Crichton and Watson. Smokeys are Suualli & May.

Keary has played 1 Origin game in his career, so if he couldn’t make the NSW team at the peak of his powers, do you seriously think he could make the team now? Collins, Teddy and Angus are likely, with Watson a smokey for the utility role. Whilst he’s been playing really well for us and I think he will play Origin at some point, I’d be surprised to see May get a call up just yet.
