Official Matt Burton selected for Australia

He probably starts at 6 with that squad. Unless they go with dearden.

I wouldn’t select someone who publicly said they didn’t want to play for me?
childish maybe, but I have pride.
Also, it’s not like Australia is short on talent?

Yeh Ponga was never going to be picked without there being injuries anyway, he was decent this year when he did play, but behind Edwards and Teddy overall though imo.

Taking Turbo is stupid though imo. Why? He hasnt done much at all this year, Teddy has done much more at fb and Turbo is weaker in attack when not fb. We have better centre/wingers than Turbo

Ponga is more freakish. Has great games, goes missing in others. If the defence against him is good, Ponga is weak. Edwards is less freakish but more consistent. He runs harder, makes more post contact meters, is a better defender and is the same in all conditions, regardless of the opposition or their defensive capability. Hes more involved in play than Ponga, so is Teddy. Id prefer Edwards. Then Teddy. Then Ponga.

Edwards has been injured since Origin. He hasn't been half as good as he was before Origin.
 
Congrats to burto. Congrats also to the club for having a rep in the side. Just need a couple more. Going off that list he a chance at center also if players go down.
