Vodafone Fijian Bati head coach Brandon Costin has named a strong 20-member squad to take on Lebanon in next weekend’s Pacific Test in Sydney Australia.

Costin said that he is going to finalise his 17-member squad after they meet in Sydney on Sunday.

“We’ll have to assess our NRL players who have playing in the weekend,” he said.

“If any of them are injured then we’ll have to get in replacement players.”

Costin highlighted that tough forward Tariq Sims is also in doubt because he could be named in the NSW Blues squad for State of Origin 2 clash.

We got Marata from the warriors I think. News hasn’t got to the Cook Island as yet.

And yet people still question why he is selected for us...

 

[Noise]

Is the Jennings injury minor? I'm hoping maybe it is more precautionary and he will be fine for our next game.

Moses was not named for Lebanon.

 

[Happy MEel]

Moses was not named for Lebanon.

I reckon he ruled himself out of this meaningless game. I reckon the eels’ season is far more important to him.

He also hasn’t had a break at all this season.

Moses was not named for Lebanon.

I read somewhere that he made himself unavailable
