Just read an interview with george burgess saying how much he is looking forward to playing against the aussie schoolboys, so maybe he is in the squad afterall?

Yeah George B is definitely in now, i read a while back that Olsi Krasniqi injured his hamstring so maybe he was ruled out ?

 

[Chung25]

Maybe the only reason he was left out of the original squad was because no one really knew if he was just going to stay in oz after signing with souths? Surely he couldnt of been dropped on the grounds of ability?

Shame about that, was interested to see how he'd go in elite junior company.

He's certainly got an interesting background!

No I'm only guessing Al, I was just thinking maybe Burgess was called up for an injury and I knew Olsi got an injury.
