Bennett said yesterday that unlike previous years the train on squad is only for people who have a very good chance of making the squad. He didn't want a bunch of guys to continue seasonal training when they should be starting on their off season training and having a rest.
Orford was unlucky not to be picked Ill give you that, but I can understand why he wasn't. Only two halfbacks go on tour, one has to be Kimmorely, his performances on the last tour makes him a certainty, the other would most likely be Gower, with Sherwin a backup if either pull out for injury. If the Storm were still in the finals it would be Orford, not Sherwin who would be the backup.
