PM XIII...question

[Hamm.0]

So 7 Broncos were named in the team. My question is, if named for the PM XIII, does that mean they won't/have no chance of being in the Kangaroos train on squad?

That is what normally happens, but I'm confused how dafuq Hannant isn't considered worthy of a Kangaroos jersey, let alone a spot in the train on squad??

Uate and Boyd are on the team too, so I assume it doesn't rule them out from playing for Australia. Besides, the match is in late September, and the grand final is on the 1st of October. They'll finish that match before the NRL season is over.

That's not my understanding. They may well get added to the train on squad now, or possibly after the PM XIII game is played.
Selection means they have to "Train on" anyway.

Thought Thaiday needed surgery??

Thaiday and Hodges aren't in the team.

Thaiday and Hodges aren't in the team.

Are they in the train on squad though?

Brisbane forwards Ben Hannant and Josh McGuire and Wests Tigers prop Aaron Woods are set to battle for a possible Australian front-row berth when they play for the Prime Minister's XIII against Papua New Guinea this month.

I can't see anything about new members added to the train on squad, only the PM13.

Which contains McCullough, Hannant, Gillett (lol) and Parker in the starting side and Wallace, McGuire and Teo on the bench. Wallace's role off the bench might be interesting.

I thought I saw it on youtwitface but I could have been wrong

 

[Bucking Beads]

I thought Gillett and Parker needed surgery?? FFS **** rep footy get yourself right for next year. :scared:

It certainly conflicts with all those reports that suggested our players were absolutely battered.

Regardless, congratulations to all of them. Some of them may not have ended the season with the best form but there's no doubting their obvious talent.

Certainly happy for them getting picked but I will be pissed off if they do need surgery and are postponing them for meaningless games.

 

[Big Pete]

Maybe to us but it probably means a lot to those players.

The side is subject to change though, they still need to receive a medical clearance.

 

[The Brizz]

Wallace gets picked. Surely this is a gee up!

 

[Clintos]

Didn't you hear about the mandatory ranga quota? Gillard is pushing it. Something about getting souls.

 

[Big Pete]

Heh, Clintos.

Considering Coote & Prince are the starting halves, Wallace well and truly earned his spot in this side.

 

[Browny]

Does the PM pick the side? She's a fumble ball supporter so that might explain it

I'm really intrested in how Jamal Idris made the team after having a nothing season same with Chris Lawrence. Good to see Aaron Woods get a taste of Rep footy though.
