I was somewhat perplexed when I saw the Australian Test line-up today. Mostly due to the fact that the only backline spot where NSW might have had a look in went to Darius Boyd! That is outrageous. Since when does leading the NRL in "most sideways metres" get you a Test jersey?! Or maybe it's because he is such a great finisher at Origin level with an open tryline after Greg Inglis has squashed a couple of would-be-tacklers and gifted him a saloon passage. I cannot fathom how Gallen has retained his spot. He is dishing up absolute rubbish playing for the NRL's shittest team.
