Junior Kangaroos train-on squad

[brook]

McDonnald should be playing fullback with Michaels to the wing IMO

Who? ;-)

 

[ledzep]

Jeeez... Mickey Paea will have fun

 

[raiders fan forever]

On second thought.

Nah not jennings because that backline is very good.

IMO Joe Picker and Jacob Selmes should count themselves lucky to be included. What i've seen of both, both arn't that good.

But thats just me I guess.

Joe Picker is a very talented footballer 100% deserves his spot

 

[Big Mick]

in your mind yes, I would expect no less.

But IMO he aint as good as others who missed out, and I don't mean Penrith players either.

I feel Jacob Ling was very hard done by, as was Matt Prior

Matty Prior is a tank,Great Player

Jennings should be there somewhere in the Junior Kangaroo's.

I don't understand the hype about Cory Paterson, he is over-rated as far as i'm concerned. I've watched him 5-6 times now and every game I saw he was crap. Jacob Ling is a much better prospect than Paterson as far as i'm concerned and deserves to be there ahead of Paterson.

In the Under 18's Zoram Watane should have been selected.

Jennings made the NSW under 18s instead A year early maybe with the first graders in front of him

You can console yourself with all the Penrith players that have made Under 15s Australian merit Under 17s possibles/probables Under 18s Australian Schoolboys Under 19s and NSW residents in recent years

Prior to the last 10 days I had seen Paterson as many times at different age levels and he has always been impressive To me the kid looked tired in the last two games after a big year Beat out Ling and many others to make NSW under 19s

Ling will not get noticed as much Defensively he is impressive Non event with the ball

Nathan Smith from Nambucca Heads would have taken Watene's spot Is he better than Watene or just a token selection?

Picker got his spot out of the State of Origin under 19s Selmes looked good in Premier League

Better that Matt Prior is kept under wraps
