Are they actually injured or are they Ponga-ed?

All injured, apparently Shaun tested himself and his Achilles is not up to it so no SOS there

Crichton, To'o and Tago may also be unavailable for Samoa according to sydney herald over the weekend.

Lindsay Smith is one of the weirdest selections of all time, thought he was a good player and will fill a hole for them well next year, but not rep level just yet

Do we have a shortage of white Aussie front rowers in the comp ?

No Tedesco? Wow... 1 point off Dally M and cant make the test team.

I know Mal said he was looking for versatility once he'd settled on his starters, and Edwards deserves the 1 jersey... but still cant believe there isnt room for Teddy somewhere.

I just assumed he was injured. I guess Mal doesn't want to have the old test captain in the squad if he's not getting game time?

Guess when you’re only naming 21, it’s hard to carry 2 guys who are #1 only, and you have Hamiso and Trbojevic who are equally adept at 1 and 3/4
