It appears the jumper is now Mann’s to lose with Dugan, who’s been rested from the match, stating a preference to shift to the centres at club level in 2016.
It was the only real selection surprise with Euan Aitken and Tim Lafai earning first crack at the centre positions while young-gun Drew Hutchison will partner Benji Marshall in the halves.
