Are opposition targeting him with their big boys like most teams do to halves to make them less effective by 1) tiring him out and 2) see if he gets his head in the wrong place?
 

Found this to be an interesting read. Of course stats can be presented in so many different ways, but in this format it shows how well Wayde is going and pushing for an origin debut. I’d love to see him get a call up.

Other notable mentions - Erin Clark second behind Yeo on the locks list, and Jacko Ford amongst the top 10 props list, while Metcalf not ranked amongst the top 10 halves.

No Barnett either??

Egan is way above the other hookers statistically as well. Brilliant form but seems out of sight, out of mind in Australia.
 

Can someone enlighten me - Would they be able to bring in Egan from outside of the squad if Robson is ruled out? I assume so i.e. it's not like your top 30 squad which you have to utilise. Anyone got any insights on the likely scenario if Robson is ruled out?

For our sake I hope not especially with the timing of Barnett going down, but for Wayde's sake he certainly deserves it.

Edit: Actually read the article and they do mention Waydo as an option.
 
Not sure why Robson is first pick, he is average. Api is better than him and also has solid D. I understand the concerns with Egan's D

FYI for 2025:

Api - 348 tackles / 55 missed / 16 ineffective
Robson - 434 tackles / 31 missed / 21 ineffective
Egan - 492 tackles / 43 missed / 11 ineffective


EDIT: added Robson in there for comparison.

That doesn't surprise me. Stats are always a half story, defensive system they are in, number of minutes, players they defend around etc. Essentially I am basing it on size and robustness.

Fair enough, this is why I spend a bit of time talking to people about how they measure fairly broad terms, like defense.

Robustness is an interesting one, seeing as Egan has had a clean bill of health this season (touch wood). Api and Robson have both played one less game than Egan, this year.

Size wise:

Egan 185cm / 91kg
Api 172cm / 88kg
Robson 180 cm / 93kg

Egan is still the tallest (lol) and the second 'heftiest'.
 
We all overlook that origin is an old boys club aswell, they debut a new player only occasionally and when required. It will be Api as a straight in as he has played before. If Api is out aswell they will debut someone only out of lack of options.
