Yes, good point. I take Webster's point that the Warriors attack is built around Egan and I don't think NSW would necessarily do that. Api is in good form and proven at SoO level so that plays in his favour of starting at hooker.

I would be quite pleased if Wade isn't selected as we will not be without him. However, his game in the weekend was a work of art and the team performance and game plan around him looked like a premiership winning template.

He is certainly on the radar now. I just hope we extend him for at least two years beyond his current contract.
I do wonder if there is a perception of Wade that he is injury prone so selectors may lean towards players that may be considered more robust and already have been proven in that arena. Api, Robson, Cook etc

Perhaps a consideration for game 3 if a dead rubber, for example? Then they get their claws into his future.
 
Little tidbit in here about Egan being invited along with other players to NSW headquarters.

Nathan Cleary, Jarome Luai and Dylan Edwards were also invited but weren't in Sydney due to the Panthers having a bye. Hookers Api Koroisau and Wayde Egan also received an invite, as did Eels fullback Clint Gutherson, but they also couldn't attend.
