Sydney Roosters star Michael Jennings, one lucky Australian Kangaroo Michael Jennings of the Australia Kangaroos plays with the ball autographs during a Rugby League clinic session at Belle Vue Stadium on October 29, 2013 in Manchester, England. MICHAEL Jennings could fall down a drain right now and probably come up wearing a gold watch. At the end of last year Jennings was unwanted at Penrith because they didn't think he was worth his $600,000 a year pay packet - so Jennings went to the Roosters and won a premiership. Then he got selected to represent the Kangaroos at the World Cup, which ironically saved the 25-year-old from a court appearance back home this week where he was due to front on four driving charges. Jennings was due to appear on Tuesday after being charged on September 15 with: driving while suspended driving a high performance vehicle illegally because he is on his P-plates not displaying his P-plates and not carrying a drivers licence.

But instead of Blacktown Local Court, Jennings was in London yesterday sitting in the lobby at the swish Royal Garden Hotel telling us how he'd love to get the chance to tear up the turf at the world famous Wembley Stadium on Saturday. This is not meant to make light of a serious situation, this is just the reality of Jennings' fortune right now. Which brings up to the decision Tim Sheens has to make today on who will take over at left centre following Greg Inglis' shift to fullback to cover for the injured Billy Slater. Will luck again be on Jennings' side like it also was for that miracle try in the grand final - when James Maloney's kick looked to be going dead for all money until it paused at the last split second and guess who was waiting for it? You talk about riding the wave for all it's worth. A week ago it looked like both Jennings and Morris were done for the tournament when Sheens ignored them along with Brent Tate and went with Jarryd Hayne to play out of position at right centre for the quarter final against the United States. But following the knee injury to Slater, Sheens has been forced into a rethink for the game against Fiji and all three are now back in contention. And yesterday Jennings sat there wondering aloud if this year could possibly get any better with the World Cup now just two weeks from closing. He's only played a minor part in this tournament so far for the Kangaroos but this just might be another case of being in the right place at the right time. I am seeing this as an opportunity. The door has opened," Jennings said. It is good to get another shot at playing and hopefully I get the job. I didn't expect to be in the position I am now. Sheens has been playing his cards close to his chest on this one and Jennings even admitted that he had spoken to the coach about the possibility of playing on the wing. "He was mentioning playing on the wing," Jennings said. He asked if I had ever played on the wing and I said yeah, I don't mind it. You wouldn't think at this late stage that could possibly happen but right now the flying Rooster who finished the NRL season with 25 tries is a man you wouldn't dare bet against. And who'd have thought all this was possible this time last year when Jennings didn't even have an NRL home?
