Somehow I knew it would happen, we get 4th place over 13 other teams, the bottom teams still get more players in then a 4th placed team, it's absolutely laughable & ridiculous. Not even in the Womens & they are in the GF aswell. Here are a few players who I think deserve a place, Brailey gets in the top 3 hooker contenders, Ramien & Iro get in the running for centre & rookie award, then there is Trindall, one of our wingers though maybe they are in an Islander team. Williams, Kaufusi & McIness perhaps?PM's squad announced.

I agree, but then again i'm kind of glad we have nobody in it. No risk of injury etc..Somehow I knew it would happen, we get 4th place over 13 other teams, the bottom teams still get more players in then a 4th placed team, it's absolutely laughable & ridiculous.

Certainly is one of the worse sides I've seen in history. That side would be beaten by a reserve SOO side anyway haha.I agree, but then again i'm kind of glad we have nobody in it. No risk of injury etc..
That squad named is one of the worst PMs squads i've ever seen. The players you mentioned though 100% should have been in there, or at least 1 or 2 of them.
Didn't it used to be players only picked from the sides who didn't make the 8?
Unclear if Williams would even play for Aus, he may have declared as NZ eligible, Oregon a good chance for Samoan selectionSomehow I knew it would happen, we get 4th place over 13 other teams, the bottom teams still get more players in then a 4th placed team, it's absolutely laughable & ridiculous.

I think included first 2 or maybe 4 knocked out too. But this has a Rooster in it so could have included us (unless team was decided earlier and someone withdrew maybe)Didn't it used to be players only picked from the sides who didn't make the 8? Or has changed?
It's not meant to be a full Aussie side, it's more like a development and Aussie trial sideCertainly is one of the worse sides I've seen in history. That side would be beaten by a reserve SOO side anyway haha.
Yeah i'm really not sure. From memory it used to definitely only be the bottom sides who didn't make finals which is how i think it should stay.Unclear if Williams would even play for Aus, he may have declared as NZ eligible, Oregon a good chance for Samoan selection
McInnes if he would have wanted to go is unlucky. Better than a number of the blokes named. Skewed a little towards taking younger guys though.
Brailey not over Liddle seems robbed.
We will have more players in the NZ and Pasifika teams
Likely both wingers, Iro, Kaufusi, Talakai and Nikora. Hunt maybe.

Brailey & McIness are both certainly robbed & thinking about Ramien, he was a tad injury prone at the latter end of the season so that probably put him out of contention a little. Still, I'm a little surprised about Trindall wasn't considered. He is so much better then Galvin imo. If the PM is a Rabbits fan then I'm not surprised about Cook getting ahead of Brailey haha.Unclear if Williams would even play for Aus, he may have declared as NZ eligible, Oregon a good chance for Samoan selection

You could take Trindall Brooks Fogarty but it probably does make sense to take someone a bit more different too - Galvin they probably see as a future rep potential player and maybe a bit of a sorry you didn't get rookie of the year at the same timeBrailey & McIness are both certainly robbed & thinking about Ramien, he was a tad injury prone at the latter end of the season so that probably put him out of contention a little.

Another reason to play with chip on our shoulder next year and have a real siege mentality.Somehow I knew it would happen, we get 4th place over 13 other teams, the bottom teams still get more players in then a 4th placed team, it's absolutely laughable & ridiculous.

There are 5 players in there Who I've got no idea about, who are Fletcher Sharpe & Dylan Lucas for example haha?You could take Trindall Brooks Fogarty but it probably does make sense to take someone a bit more different too - Galvin they probably see as a future rep potential player and maybe a bit of a sorry you didn't get rookie of the year at the same time
Definitely some funny buggers at play in the list - it is far from a simple 'best available'
In saying that some like Trindall, Hynes, Ramien may have made themselves unavailable preferring to play in the Knockout the weekend before.
Knights up and comersThere are 5 players in there Who I've got no idea about, who are Fletcher Sharpe & Dylan Lucas for example haha?
Screams influence for them to play from Dragons doesn't it?Another reason to play with chip on our shoulder next year and have a real siege mentality.
How did Cook get selected over Brailey for example?
If it's meant to be more around those lines why did Cook get ahead of Brailey then say Brooks gets ahead of Trindall, even Atko perhaps haha?Unclear if Williams would even play for Aus, he may have declared as NZ eligible, Oregon a good chance for Samoan selection

They'll always take some experienced players.If it's meant to be more around those lines why did Cook get ahead of Brailey then say Brooks gets ahead of Trindall, even Atko perhaps haha?
Far as available team was selected by Fittler, who is the coach. It is within the Aus setup so there would likely be capacity for other influence from within that.Is the squad meant to be officially selected by the PM himself & sends his selections through or is there a proper rep selection comittee & just called the PM's XIII?
