The Queensland side picks itself. For the Blues, I'd play Hayne at fullback, wingers Brett Morris and Nathan Merritt. I'd play Adam Reynolds at half over Pearce and Shillington over Tamou.
That's the NSW side I'm looking at right now
Yeah the NSW team sounds solid at this stage , but I would also go for Renolds over Pearce, if Glenn Stewart is available then he must be included.
