Not sure why they picked Boyd given his injury. Tedesco would be a better inclusion. Hunt as backup hooker is a bit poor but they have Smith so doesn't really matter. They have more than enough there to beat England and NZ.

Which big names have they left out? Hope we acquit ourselves better than during the Four Nations.

They have more than enough there to beat England and NZ. we should just get all eligible England players ie backs then forwards, put there names i a hat and draw them out to pick the squad. because regardless of who we pick we have very little chance of winning anyway. i'm usually pretty positive regarding international RL but just don't have muck/any interest in this. England have no chance NZ Australia final and Australia will win.

I’d give them the trophy now. Some poor picks though - Dugan, Woods, Maloney, Hunt, Holmes

Its an interesting comment because it is pretty much how i feel after watching last years 4 nations it was a complete walk over for the Aussies BUT, it was only a 3 years ago we got very very close to beating both in the 4 nations over there and NZ won that event and looked the best side in the world at that time with Johnson killing it. I would never write off the kiwis with their pedigree at the big comps over the last decade but yeah, don't really find much hope for us bar plenty of straw clutching, i just hope we can play some good stuff and compete, 2008 was a complete farce we don't need that again.

They have more than enough there to beat England and NZ. Tedesco very unlucky to miss out IMO. He's been the best full back in the NRL this season. I have a feeling they'll start Cronk and Munster in the halves and put Morgan on the bench as Utility Back/Spare Hooker.
