Origin Selection, who has potential so far?

[benjiflickpass95]

We are currently 6-weeks out from the first game of Origin in May and we seem to have some eligible players in form that may seem like dark-horses in the grand scheme of things given the lack of respect the Tigers usually get in representative selection.

Realistically, I could see AD potentially getting a call up given he trained with them last year, has been on form and could serve as a very useful 14. Depending on what type of team they want to field I cannot think of many better hookers so far this year than Api as well. Depending on how Luai bounces back from injury it would be silly to rule him out as a possibility.

It might be a bit of a stretch, but Terrell has been in reasonable form with exceptional fitness. I could probably make a case for Twal who has been having a great year so far with some great offload potential being a bench forward or reserve.

While players in other positions have been doing their job for us I can think of better players in position and cannot see room for anyone else, but would be curious to hear other's opinions.

There might be an argument for Doueihi on a 6 man bench but he would need to be over his groin issue for consideration and I'd still prefer others.
Brailey has been the best 9 the past 12 months and is playing better than Api.
May I don't think would be considered due to seemingly being on the outer. I wouldn't have him in contention anyway. Not far off but not real close either.
Twals form probably justifies consideration but he has Yeo and Murray ahead of him so no chance.
Luai always a possibility but will need to string some games together.
