Kaysa & Jnr Paulo selected in the Samoa side.

Does that mean that Jnr has been overlooked for City Side (possibles vs probables origin) ?

What more has junior got to do to get run with city?

 

[hineyrulz]

Damn we have a team of rep superstars,no wonder we are about to lose points for assembling this superstar roster.

 

[phantom eel]

What more has junior got to do to get run with city?

Maybe he hasn't declared/changed his rep allegiance, and so technically wasn't eligible?

He's New Zealand born, but eligible for State of Origin (moved here as a teenager), and has previously been selected for Samoa in 2014.

It's all very confusing. Given the choice between playing for City and playing for Samoa (if I had Samoan heritage), I'd pick Samoa....

Surely if you are eligible for NSW in Origin, you would have to also be eligible to play for City or Country???

He may be eligible, but clearly hasn't declared for Australia.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Gee some interesting selections for City, Matterson, brown, Lovett, fonua-Blake

Well done to Gutherson / peats

 

[eels_fan]

Assuming Tepai withdrew before naming the team

 

[PARRA_FAN]

City is a pretty weak team, surely there were more experienced players to chose from that werent 'injured'.

 

[Gronk]

Wow Matterson is a bolter all right.

Kangaroos 19th man Michael Jennings has withdrawn through injury. There are no plans to replace Jennings in squad.

Hopefully it's just a slight case of couldn't be arsed for Jenko.

 

[eels_fan]

He's probably rather a week off training. 19th man he'd be expected to train all week and then not play. May as well enjoy a week to rest the body

 

[PARRA_FAN]

That explains his absence from the team photo.

I don't think he would've played anyway being 19th Man.

Good for Parra to have him take the week off then get fit for the Souths game.
