Hayne named in both the junior and senior squads... interesting.

Only 13 names there?

Only 13 names there?

Yeah, its train on, so its only players who are no chance of playing in the first grade semis. Players like Inglis or Hunt could still come into it.

Jeez I wish this game was going to be televised. The side is going to be one of the strongest in years IMO.

Jacob Selmes ahead of Tim Grant...please...

These train ons are not worth the ink till the real squad is named.

Seriously look at the senior squad, Stapleton, Hayne, Merritt etc are no chance of being in the top 20 come tri nations.

I suppose it is some recognition and encouragement for the young guys tho.

Jacob Selmes ahead of Tim Grant...please...

Selmes has played a full year of Premier League. Grant hasn't even played a game, has he?
