Wests Tigers fullback James Tedesco is the peoples’ favourite to be named as Kangaroos No 1 for the upcoming Anzac Test against the Kiwis.
More than 1000 footy fans voted in The Daily Telegraph’s online poll - with a list of candidates for each position for the May 6 match in Newcastle.
With Australia looking to end a three-match losing streak against New Zealand, Tedesco was a runaway winner for the fullback spot with 59% of the votes, ahead of nearest rival Greg Inglis with 19%.
YOUR SAY: What to do with the stadium debate?
CRISIS: Do Brisbane have a rat?
Inglis was still the dominant vote for a centre spot (35%) ahead of Brisbane speed machine James Roberts (16%).
Fans reckon Cooper Cronk (51%) should keep his spot in the halves to partner Johnathan Thurston at five-eighth, ahead of switching Thurston to halfback and bringing in Brisbane young gun Anthony Milford.
Darius Boyd (26%) and Semi Radradra (23%) were the pick of the wingers, while Matt Gillett (20%) and Bryce Cartwright (17%) polled the most votes for the back row.
The ageless Corey Parker stole a massive 76% of the votes for lock, ahead of Paul Gallen with 11%.
In the front row, Matt Scott (40%), Aaron Woods (31%) easily topped the count and Cameron Smith had the biggest victory with 90% of votes for hooker.
