Manu when he's played at 6 has been better. As as Burton, Luai, Cody Walker and maybe even Dearden. To say that Brown is one of the best players in the NRL is absolutely deluded. I'd rather have Wighton and even the fella at Wests whose name escapes me than Brown. Dylan Brown. Jesus.

You don’t even know who Adam doueihi is so obviously you have no idea what you’re talking about. If you knew anything about rugby league you would know how good Dylan brown is.

I couldn't be bothered to remember the spelling of Doueihi tbh, On Brown, yeah, he's one of the best players in the NRL. I'd be surprised if he's top 50...!

Jeez Louise.

I know Saints fans will differ but I've never seen an international class 6 there.

What I would say about Lomax is you notice him more when he doesn’t play. He isn’t a flashy stand off he goes about his job making the right decision 99% of the time. Which then allows other players to play of the back of it.

A lot of unknowns to be honest.  Fitness and also how Wane will go in selection.

If they are fit I expect him to go 1. Tomkins, 6. Lomax, 7. Williams.

And you think that combination is good enough to win the WC? I am not saying or even suggesting who else to put there but that does not fill me with a great deal of confidence.

Tomkins can’t play 1 his pace has gone noticeably this year. He’ll be a half back or won’t be in.

This would be my Australia 17

1-Tedesco

2-Addo-Carr

3-Mitchell

4-Holmes

5-Suaalii

6-Munster

7-DCE

8-Haas

9-Hunt

10-Trbojevic

11-Murray

12-Nanai

13-Yeo

14-Grant

15-Cleary

16-RCG

17-Carrigan

Surely Gagai plays 4 and Holmes on the wing over Suali'i. Gagai is too good to be left out

I think it is better than the combination in the 2017 World Cup Final that lost by 6 to the Kangaroos in Australia.

Of course there are other variables to that team and this year but you can only pick what you have available.

Parramatta. They'll likely finish 7th or 8th. Their spine is Gutherson, Brown, Moses, Mahoney and Matterson. 

Brown is the 5th best player in this list.

Brown is much much much better than luai and it’s not even close. Brown is closer to being than munster than he is to being worse than luai

Wow. It's late in Sydney isn't it.

You used much 3 times.

Have you watched Suaalii this season. He is a 100% guaranteed Starter

I have but not as good as the media makes it out to be. Cobbo has played better than Suali'i for most of the season

Do you think Big Mal will pick Sua’ali’i and Cobbo in his squad ? I agree with you about Sua’ali’i I think he’s a very rare talent

Coates should play 1 wing. Then you have Cobbo, Gagai & Holmes and maybe Addo Carr on reflection battling for other spot. Depends on who they pick at centres.

Suaalii is perhaps a tad too young/ inexperienced just now.

Luai and Brown is debatable. I think you're over hyping Brown way too much lol.

Agree. He's a special talent but he's just not there yet, especially against the talent the kangaroos have at the moment. If he gets picked for the Samoan team it would be awesome because he gets to play his preferred position at fullback.

This isn’t gonna age well for you mate

In what sense? Either Brown is or he isn't one of the best players in the comp.

Ah, do you mean that Parra could fall out of the 8 now Moses is not playing and it's all on Brown and Arthur so they could fall out of the 8 and i'll look silly because i said they'll finish 7th or 8th?

Suaalii is the best winger in the world no questions. He is nailed on for an Australian Wing Spot
