Congratulations and good luck to Gaz at the RLWC. A great reward for his hard work recovering from his dislocated hip.

[Bourbon Rat]

Shame he'll be playing behind the nutcracker suite

George Burgess, Sam Burgess, Tom Burgess (all South Sydney/AUS)

That pommy front row of the ear biter and sammy the squirrel is starting to feel like the build up to the dirty dozen

Jesse Bromwich and Tohu Harris named in NZ RLWC squad.

There is no SBW. Sam Moa has been named. Moa played for Tonga in April. It seems ridiculous that you can play for two different countries in the space of 6 months.

[Scooter]

Mahe Fonua and Siosaia Vave plus Sika Manu in the 24 man Tongan squad. Well done guys.

[blazza18]

Proctor might feel a bit unlucky not making the team. Frank Pritchard is overrated.
