Idris looks set to be the right centre, and it would have looked good with Lawrence on the left but it wasnt to be. Not sure who will get it, probably Jennings.
Wing and fullback are hard with Dugan injured and Hayne out of form. Does Gidley come back in? Maybe Stewart will hit form over the next month and stake a claim. At the moment id say they would be going with Gidley at fullback, Hayne on one wing and Morris to fight for the other spot with Gordon. Carney isnt kicking goals still, so if he doesnt resume kicking by Origin i'd say Gordon will get the nod. He did fine last year. Uate and furguson are the bolters.
Halves are already picked.
Hooker will be Ennis, no doubt, we just have to accept it.
Front row is a problem. Todays paper says it all, NO front rowers are standing up. Gibbs will never get a look in but i think he should be one starting prop and play lots of minutes keeping things tight. The rest should be filled with some decent metre eaters with the likes of Mannah, Snowden, Douglas and Galloway contenders. The problem is none are real hard nuts that will put any fear in the opposition.
They may pull a rabbit out of the hat and play Gallen up front. Sounds weird moving a guy who plays lock to the front row, but it could be a masterstroke at that level. Even if he swithches there during the game. Id imagine Gallen would thrive on that challenge.

@Marshall_magic said:Now, what I would go with
1\. Hayne (far too good to leave out. has almost won games before off his own brilliance, must play)
2\. Uate (love watching the thriller burn down the sidelines)
3\. Idris (finally living up to the hype. gave Inglis a bath, the talent is there)
4\. Lyon?? (no one really standing out, Jennings is playing himself out of a walk up start)
5\. Gordon (goal kicker. Morris for me is very poor positionally in defence, and Gordon is just as fast)
6\. Carney (another guys with X factor, no brainer)
7\. Pearce (level footing with Mullen right now, but he has a great combination with Carney, and we need to stick with a halfback, if Mullen does get the nod, leave him there for the series at very least)
8\. Snowden (was strong in his debut last year, deserves another crack)
9\. Ennis (Farah needs to have surgery, and doesn't deserve it on his 2011 form)
10\. Tolman (Hit up machine)
11\. Gallen (no brainer)
12\. Lewis © (most complete player NSW has, can do it all and play anywhere)
13\. Bird (have him roam, and hit the fringes)
14\. Gidley (may cop some heat for this, but he's played well when on the field this year, and did well in this spot last year, sub him on for Ennis late in the first half, then leave him on for the rest of the game. use him and Ennis in tandem for the last 15 minutes, with one of the ball playing backrowers coming off)
15\. Watmough (impact player, give him good ball on the fringes)
16\. Mannah (in great form)
17\. Learoyd Lahrs (impact player, done very well for NSW in the past)
