I asked him what the issue was and he said he was not being told anything by the selectors so he's not sure what he needs to improve to get back in green and gold.
Yes, he has suffered form issues, but everyone suffers from that at some point during their career.
The best remedy is to get back out on the field. It's not as if the Wallabies have anything to lose by picking him.
I would have thought that a dead-rubber test in Brisbane, Will's home patch, against the All Blacks would have been the perfect launching pad for the next stage of a career that has already seen him play 55 tests.
That's my argument on an emotional level. The graphic gives you a simple indication on why he should play on a strategic or tactical level.
When someone with Genia's dynamic running game is at the base of the breakdown, it holds defenders' attention. I've drawn this up as a scenario in the middle of the field, where you have defenders fanned out on both sides of the ruck.
In the top drawing you will see the arrowheads angling in. This is because Genia commands eye-attention. The defenders in close have to be alert to the possibility he might snipe around the inside channels. That immediately opens up more space on his outside, as the defenders can't start fanning wide until a half step later.
All Genia then has to do is take one or two steps with the ball in hand - either laterally or slightly forward - and he has held the close defenders. They have to consider him a running threat.
When he knows the defenders are holding, he can hit his forward runners to try to break the advantage line and continue with front-foot ball; or miss them and ignite the backs.
It's the second option that should excite Australian fans. In Israel Folau they have one of rugby's big weapons, but at the moment he is not getting any room to wind up.
The Wallabies' numbers 9 and 10 are not holding enough traffic in their channels to afford him the space he needs to be near unstoppable.
That's why Genia's continued exclusion makes no sense to me.
