With Hunt and Bell out injured...

1 Inglis
2 Tate
3 Berrigan
4 Hodges
5 Mogg
6 Lockyer
7 Thurston

With maybe Bowen/Slater to be drafted onto the bench, in place of Berrigan.
Inglis is in as much doubt as the other guys who are out.

if Bell is out and Inglis isnt back surely Schifcofske will have to be picked, i cant see any other options...
Schifcofske is viewed by selectors, rightly or wrongly, as a player who meanders to the ball, and someone who submits in tackles - as per his Origin appearance in 2002. His file has been marked 'never to be picked again'. Wesser and Slats will get picked before he does. Time will tell as to whether I've just made all this up, of course. :laugh:

Apparently Schifcofske is a very big hope of a call up, Matthew Elliott has said in the paper in the last few days that Mal rang him in the lead up for origin 2 and asked an opinion on the Raiders players and he pushed Mogg and Schifcofske very highly, apparently Schif is a very good chance of a call up for game 3.

I'm by no means a religious man, but I will be praying 3 times a day to each and every God there is that Shifcofske gets picked for game 3.

Schifcofske will be there barring injury this weekend, finally the selectors will get it right and we'll have the guy who should be at fullback picked!

let's just hope he doesn't have a shocker now...

Seriously though good to see him get picked. He deserves it.

Very close to what they will pick IMO. However if Tonie Carroll gets through this weekend without injury I'm pretty sure he will picked for QLD. And if both Inglis and Tate play I'm pretty sure Inglis will go wing with Tate in the centres. And never discount Wesser's chances with this selection panel. Although I have no doubt Shifcofske will pick up a major injury this weekend.

i did think of Carroll, but i thought he was still injured so i didnt pick him.
also i forgot Bowen, if Inglis is out i think Berrigan will go to the centres with Bowen on the bench.

Isn't Bowen struggling with a foot injury?

yeh but i think if hes a chance of playing he'd be picked an given some time to get right, the Origin is still 13 days away.

I don't rate Inglis' chances of playing Game III highly.

Melbourne won't want him to go, because he risks serious injury if he comes back to early. I will say now there is no chance he will play.

Yeah, I think it's pretty much a certainty that he won't play.

Billy Slater is considered a long shot for selection.

More like desperation if he gets picked.
