[Dexter]

Decent start but can't agree with Fifita or Suaalii.
I hope neither of them make the 24

It's going to be interesting to see what the rest of the squad looks like. Just going through the remaining six sides you'd have to presume the following are favoured to come in:

Jarome Luai (Samoa?)
Nathan Cleary
Api Koroisau (Fiji?)
Liam Martin
Isaah Yeo
Valentine Holmes
Junior Paulo (Tonga?)
Jack Wighton
Latrell Mitchell
Damien Cook
Cameron Murray

Then there's a few bolters in the mix like
Dylan Edwards, Stephen Crichton, Scott Drinkwater, Murray Taulagi, Tom Dearden, Jordan McLean, Reece Robson, Tom Gilbert, Reuben Cotter, Jeremiah Nanai, Nicho Hynes, Dale Finucane, Cameron McInness, Clint Gutherson, Mitchell Moses, Reagan Campbell-Gillard, Reed Mahoney, Shaun Lane, Ryan Matterson, Hudson Young, Alex Johnston, Campell Graham, Cody Walker, Keaon Koloamatangi (Tonga?)

Where's Oates? And why Fifita honestly

 

[Sproj]

No Cobbo.

 

[Dexter]

We're looking a bit light on at prop.

 

[mrslong]

Fifita is a joke selection.

 

[mrslong]

No Cobbo.

Doesn’t deserve a spot tbh.

 

[Kimlo]

Fifita is a joke selection.

Mal has to justify his Titans recruit.

 

[Foordy]

I can't believe Oates has been snubbed

Pretty sure Luai and Paulo have both went on record to say they won't be playing for Australia for the WC so they can be crossed out.

 

[Super Freak]

Unless Oates is injured, this is rubbish.

How does a winger that finished 2nd on the top try-scorers list doesn't even get to go over at the very least?

he hasn't even made the train on squad. most of whom won't head over anyway

 

[Cult]

Let's go Ireland!

 

[ZTop]

Let's go Ireland!

Yeah! I normally just end up going for another country in the world cup. I went for England last time

Thought Garrick might be a shout to make the cut as depth... I thought he was pretty good this year and covers wing and fullback (probably centre as well), whilst being an excellent goal kicker... not sure how big the squads are though

I'm guessing Gutho has to come in as fullback cover... he's not a superstar like Teddy and Latrell, but he has one of the highest work rates for the position and his go to play is chiming into the backline, so he's an easy fit for a rep team... and that's probably where he pips DEdwards

Latrell is probably first choice left centre so not sure you also have him as your second fullback, but if Teddy picks up an injury in the comp he could end up moving to the back with someone like Graham jumping into left centre.

 

[1910]

Oates had his appendix out last week- can't train for a month. No point naming him in a train on squad.

Ok then makes sense
