Talk about changing a player’s career. I bet Woods thought his rep days were over. Good work big fella, and Val.

Now we just wait and see whether next season he's happy to stay on the bench because look at where it got him, or if he gets unsettled and thinks he should be starting because he's an Aus player...

19 players named, presumably Munster will be unavailable and either Keary or Maloney will come in. Would be cool if Moylan did but I think they'd take Keary over him after yesterday, or Maloney if they wanted 'experience'.
I don't think you need to play Hunt if you have Peachey that can provide cover on the bench, nor do I particularly feel like Hunt warrants a spot over many other players not selected.

Probably looking at something like

Tedesco
Holmes
Inglis
Mitchell
Turbo
Munster*
DCE
Klemmer
Cook
Trobojevic
Cordner
Friz
McGuire

Kaufusi
2 of Woods, Mclean, RCG
Peachey/Hunt

Thanks I was surprised he wasn't named so that answers that question

That's bull****

Yep. NRL setting some nice precedents this finals series.

At the start of this year if you said Woods would make the Aus team, you would have been carted away to the booby hatch.

Good on him, but, there would be a rep excentive in his contract and will be paid more.

Now does that extra money fall into the cap? Or is it outside it?

He gets paid by the nrl for the game.

He wont get more money from us for doing so

His pay for playing for Aus is separate from the cap. If we have an agreement to give him a bonus for selection it wouldn’t be huge and we’d have budgeted for it
