Jacob Preston is impressive but needs to surpass Liam Martin and Hudson Young for State of Origin selection, says Paul Gallen.
Jacob Preston is knocking on the door of State of Origin, but according to rugby league great Paul Gallen, he still has two men to get past before his name goes down in Blues contention.
Speaking on Channel Nine's post-game broadcast following Thursday night's clash between the Canberra Raiders and Canterbury Bulldogs, Gallen acknowledged the impressive form of the young Bulldogs forward who scored the game-sealing try to win the game over the Raiders.
Gallen revealed where Preston sits in his pecking order.
"I couldn't have him in front of Liam Martin ... and even Hudson Young," Gallen said.
