4. Dean Whare
5. Jason Nightingale
6. Keiran Foran
7. Shaun Johnson

Jeremy Smith has a date with the judiciary though so he could end up missing out

And Taylor is injured

The New Zealand Kiwis have named a 19 man squad for the ANZAC test against the Australian Kangaroos in Canberra next Friday night.

With Sonny Bill Williams ruled out of the match with a knee injury, playmaker Benji Marshall and Gerard Beale also out through injury, and Krisnan Inu unavailable through suspension, there were plenty of concerns for selectors. To make matters worse, enforcer Jeremy Smith is also in doubt, after being placed on report for a head slam in the Newcastle Knights clash with Penrith on Saturday afternoon.

Despite that, the Kiwis have named only one debutant, Roosters winger Roger Tuivasa-Sheck.

New Zealand Kiwis 19 man squad:
Jesse Bromwich, Kieran Foran, Alex Glenn, Josh Hoffman, Shaun Johnson, Shaun Kenny-Dowall, Issac Luke, Simon Mannering (c), Ben Matulino, Sam McKendry, Jason Nightingale, Sam Perrett, Frank Pritchard, Kevin Proctor, Jeremy Smith, Elijah Taylor, Roger Tuivasa-Scheck, Jared Warea-Hargreaves, Dean Whare.

Absolutely no need for gidley to be anywhere near that team. Disgraceful!

No doubt a f**king disgrace....hopefully this means he is in the NSWanker team. :lol:

 

[beave]

Taumalolo got picked for Tonga, I thought he was a kiwi?

 

[beave]

And good to see they dropped She-Rex.

merkin is having a laugh if he feels hard done by...............

 

[bellyache]

Which Kangaroo's selector has a man crush on this overated gymp!
FMD... Hope the sheep shaggers win!

 

[Amadaca]

Has destroyed NSW more times than Thurston or Cronk.

 

[Mr Angry]

I see a humiliation for NZ here.

Down on troops, always struggle in this game, lead by Kearney.

Australia 30+, at full strength, with a consistant side.

Interesting morris is there when talk it he wont make nsw

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Bizarre selection.

 

[Nevcost]

What has Tamou done recently to even play a test let alone start in the front row, even he has admitted to being a passenger in the cowboys pack and as for Gidley it's like going back in time with that selection seriously wtf

 

[Amadaca]

Bizarre selection.

I wish you were that polite with me.

 

[ME SO HORNBY!]

Interesting morris is there when talk it he wont make nsw

If Brett doesn't make the NSW side it will be a farce. Who would be in front of him?

Hayne... no.
Uate... no.
Merritt... maybe, though Daley said he wasn't in line at the moment.

Unless you're referring to Josh Morris who I believe was named as 18th man.

 

[gypsy]

Bizarre selection.

Poor Walt

 

[Rod]

He's clearly there for utility value/injury cover. Obviously if all they wanted was a reserve hooker Farah would have got the nod. Kind of pointless when you already have the best player in the world at hooker though, who can easily play 80 mins.

But cue 10 pages of people ignoring this and having a sook anyway..

 

[skeepe]

Kurt Gidley. After not playing a single good game in 4 years? If they need a bench utility to play a bit of dummy half, what's wrong with Robbie Farah? That would also bring the advantage that he's actually in form.

Kurt Gidley. FMD.

 

[Canard]

What has Tamou done recently to even play a test let alone start in the front row, even he has admitted to being a passenger in the cowboys pack and as for Gidley it's like going back in time with that selection seriously wtf

Tamou has been down on form, but he has ripped off enough metres to justify his selection.

I was hoping he wasn't selected for selfish reasons

But Gidley is shit at EVERY position. How does that make him a utility?
