Interesting to note that Junior doesnt get a mention in any of the proposed teams. I would have thought he was playing well enough to be considered.

What do other people think? What does he need to add to his game to get a start?

It isn't so much things he is missing something, it's just there are better options such as woods Tamau gallen fifita who consistently make more metres than jr and all but maybe fifita has a higher work rate

  Fair enough, Parra Supporter. I don't watch enough non-Parra games to be up to speed with other prop's form. I do think Junior makes an impression on the field. I was thinking of using him off the bench when we need to make a dent in the defensive line. He manages to do that on a regular basis.

To be honest , I only remember Jr scoring those two tries this year off big barnstorming runs, and that little grubber in goal last game.

You have to have your allegiance pledged to Australia to be eligible for origin. He hasn't done that.

It does not matter who the NSW pick they will not beat QLD no way in hell the only way NSW will win if they pick half of QLD side to play for NSW

I would pick him since eels have a slim chance to make finals
