The bloke i feel most sorry for is the Hayne Plane.

Wasn't making this tour one of his dreams? I get so confused now with all his dreams.

"We believe to wear the Australian jersey, you should have to distinguish yourself both on and off the field," NRL chief executive Todd Greenberg said.

"Our determination is to build a culture in the Kangaroos which every Australian can be proud of.

"I hope players realise that misbehaviour can in future lead to them missing out on their dream of playing for their country."

Its good to see distinguished players like fergo, friend and dugan getting a gig.

There is a lesson in all this kiddies do the right thing get pissed, drive, grope vaginas but don't have cryptic letters on your strapping whatever you do, that's very undistinguished.

I don't really have a problem with Fifita missing out but this is nuts

They are saying a guy convicted of criminal sexual assault has " distinguished himself off the field"

They have really messed up the whole Fifita thing from the start.
He has been done over for a CCM and a spot on the tour because they put off taking action until the end of the year.
The fact that Greenburg brought it up as why he wasn't selected means the circus continues for longer when it should have been put to bed already.

I think the NRL has sort of contradicted themselves with the way they have handled the Fifita situation. On the one hand they have virtually implied that he has done nothing wrong and let him play the entire final's series, including the grand final but on the other they have refused to consider him for selection as a way of punishing him. My issue is that if the NRL had a problem with what Fifita did in relation to supporting Kieran Loveridge then why didn't they stand him down for the finals series? It seems that there may have been one or two political agendas at play here, the most obvious one being that the NRL didn't want to do anything to hinder the Sharks' chances of winning their first ever premiership given the enormous PR benefits that it would bring to the game.

I've got no issue with blokes not being considered for being dunces. Unfortunately if you look at the squad picked and ruled out the dickheads there would barely be anyone left.

I dislike Darius Boyd as a player, this year even I have to give him some credit.
Fergusson and Inglis should not have been picked and probably Dugan as well, he will only last 10 mins before getting injured

Remember Fifita was banned from Penrith junior league for his behaviour when a trainer, that is far worse than anything he wrote on his wrist and in my opinion more than enough to stop him from being selected this time around

lol yeah he's sort of a merkin of a human being, but playing well for your team will blind you to that sort of thing.
He will likely never be a kangaroo, no issues with that.

He has played 6 games as a Kangaroo.

And has the integrity unit come out with any findings yet? I thought the investigation just petered out.
How convenient then, if they couldn't find anything and they just punish him anyway. Why bother with the integrity unit at all then.

From that squad I think the only certainties for the XVII are Boyd, Inglis, JT, Cronk, Smith, Scott, Papalii and Cordner.

It'll be interesting to see who they fill the rest of the team with. Frizell should get a start. Great player.

Josh McGuire bwahahahaha

The most over rated prop I can remember. If any prop comes in (on current form) has to be prior.
