I would go Murphy over Sio and Watkins over Smithies. Not sure about Hill but equally not sure who to put in there, maybe Oledzki.'"
I think it’s easy to forget the whole season sometimes and to pick the odd player on recent (excellent) form and I think that’s exactly what Murphy would be. He looks such a top prospect and I’m sure he’ll make future teams but not yet. Personally I’d choose all of Sio, Makinson, Marshall and McGillvary ahead of him based on the whole season.
It’ll depend on how they shoe horn players in regards somebody like Watkins over Smithies. If we’re picking 3 backrowers and ignoring if they play second row or loose forward, then I could see it, although I’d then find a spot for Chris McQueen but if they want to pick an out and out loose forward, it should be Smithies IMO (maybe biased) and if not, it should be Luke Yates.
