Someone explain Shillington & Gallen to me.

PLEASE!!!!!!!

Ben Creagh can feel gutted getting left out for Gallen.
What a disgrace.

 

[Rovelli]

Kiwis will field one of their better teams for some time....just the age-old problem: we perform better when we are in camp, and not a rushed preparation. Many of the Kangaroos will also have played Origin together.

That said, no better time for us to knock the bastards off.

 

[cornerposter]

Nate Myles can feel hard done by. I'd have him in instead of Gallen.

 

[Timmah]

Australia and NZ are in camp for the same amount of time - no excuse.

[StinkyPete]

I was hoping James Tamou would make NZ

 

[cupid]

Suprised Jeremy Smith hasnt been selected, is he injured?

 

[Fast Eddie]

That squad isn't the one that was selected.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Surely with Smith,Mannering,Asotasi and Pritchard injured FFMM and Lima's experience is needed...
