Also note that Leilua out of Samoan WC team.
Expensive argument ( not in money terms but honour of playing at a WC).

Ironic that Carrigan selected in Aust WC team but Jacko misses out for England ( assuming injury,not fully fit).
Must be very disappointed with that outcome.

Just having a look at the various W.C Squads and intrigued to see Nathan Brown and Cooper Johns playing for Italy.
Does anyone have info pertaining to their heritage ?

I know Johns mum Trish is of Italian heritage.

Just been doing a bit of digging and it seems the same applies tonBrown, his Mum is of Italian origin as well. Enquiry solved. 👍🏻

Def injury.

Leg broken will see Hastings miss chunk of off season also.

Hastings has been openly saying he was aiming to return intime for the RLWC & posted a clip of him already back in the gym on his leg.

He wasn't named in their squad - is he still a chance? Opening game of England v Samoa should be a cracker.
I'm tipping PNG to upset Tonga in their first game.

If he isn't named in the squad no chance. Would suggest the injury needs more time, but I also think its a good thing for us next year having Hastings, Brooks, Laurie and Api more time during pre-season to gel together.

What’s with the Jersey numbers indicating length of service? Should we trial it at Wests Tigers?

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Was it available to watch? How'd our boys go?
How about Michael Cheika coaching, he's a league tragic.

Isn't any coverage for the trials on Kayo

I have no idea as i got the scorw from the BBC website but i doubt if the level of Wales would be even reggie standard

Training jerseys I'm pretty sure are their Wests Tigers player number

Looks like they’re playing at Blackmore Oval.
The cut out was good for Nofa so why not Mansour.
