Pacific Championships 2024

Kiwis should have snapped up KP... he aint being selected for the roos.. ever

But if he plays for the Kiwis he can't play Origin.

QLD seems to be his priority atm, same with Jack Howarth.

Apparently he can't ever be picked for the Kiwis cos he played for Aus in that shitty world 9's tournament a few years back.

Looks like Liam Martin's out -

Grand final star Martin out of Kangaroos squad, Cleary in doubt for Vegas game

Injuries will rule the Clive Churchill Medal winner out of the Pacific Championships, and potentially keep Nathan Cleary from the Panthers’ Las Vegas match.

Looks like he's stuck between a strawberry milkshake and a cubicle door then.

Some big names missing there. To'o, Crichton, Taulagi, Utoikamanu, Lenu, Papalli, Fa'alogo

I can't see that team beating the poms.

On the positive side Nanai is a huge in for Samoa. I wonder if he knocked back the Kangaroos ? Or is he playing for Samoa because Mal didn't pick him ?

 

[Perth Red]

Anthony milford is still playing?

He probably did because Martin was never cleared to play I don't know why they named him. To'o, Critchon and Leniu all out injured and the wedding. The most interesting part for me is Payne Haas sharing the samoan team list on his Instagram

This is the price of organizing a tour to England after a long season. The samoan teams stacked with panthers and Origin player's and they just had a long season and have to fly out to England for 2 games.

Yeo new Kangaroos captain.

Jurbo, Cherry-Evans, Tedesco all gone. Ponga over looked after all the raaa raaa.

Yeo named captain, Moses halfback in new-look 'Roos

Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga has named eight debutants in his squad for the Pacific Championships as Australia look to bounce back from a 30-0 loss to New Zealand in last year's final in Hamilton.

No Haas?

 

[MRN]

No Haas?

Came back early from injury to try and push for finals. Which wasn't ideal. So it would seem he was also ruled out through injury.

 

[Clarkent]

Anthony milford is still playing?

Unfortunately yes and Asiata

But if he plays for the Kiwis he can't play Origin.

QLD seems to be his priority atm, same with Jack Howarth.

Hopefully with these two and Radley, we'll finally open Origin up to any player provided they are Origin eligible

14 diff clubs represented in the Toa Samoa squad.

No problem, he’s been replaced by a far better player.

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Hughes is out

What a farce

 

[Clarkent]

Imagine if the Kiwis played in the shield comp next year lol what a loss

 

[Coastbloke]

Imagine if the Kiwis played in the shield comp next year lol what a loss

What’s the bet they cancel next years Championship/Shield..

Australia is hosting England. If NZ did end up in the Shield because of the clubs behaviour, does anyone think the NRL will try to sell a major tournament with no Australia or NZ?
