A bit surprised by this as there was an article in the last two days that Izzy had withdrawn from the Junior Kangaroos tour due to injury.  The article metioned that Chambers and Tolman would be the only two Storm representatives now.  Good luck to Izzy if he is right to play.
Ahhh McGahan; you've done it agahan....

Not really the best news salary-cap wise, this is what Issys manager has been waiting for.

Actaully the main problem may be rep appearance money - this one test could cost the storm all the cash they have to keep Newton - i have read up to 60K in total or more

Apparently (according to the articlae i read) players have a rep appearance bonus in a lot of contracts - basicially if you play origin or international your value goes up so you get rewarded  - the NRL may pay win bonuses on top i dont know. I may be wrong how i read it but that seems to be what it said

Yep that's right. This test apperance means we will lose both Newton and Izzy over the next year. Complete disaster.
