Kangaroos squad

Billy Slater, Darius Boyd, Greg Inglis, Justin Hodges, Akuila Uate, Johnathan Thurston, Cooper Cronk, Paul Gallen (vc), Cameron Smith ©, David Shillington, David Taylor, Sam Thaiday, Luke Lewis. Interchange: Daly Cherry-Evans, Ben Hannant, James Tamou, Anthony Watmough, Matt Gillett (18th man)
 
James Tamou. Now there's a name I wasnt expecting!
Besides that not many surprises although I would of preferred Brett Morris over Darius Boyd, Morris has been in great form where as Boyd has been in terrible form. Boyd has no tries and no try assists this season.
I'm not sure about Cherry-Evans being there, I think his form has been a patchy of late, I would of went with either Carney or even Barba as the back utility.
 
Been very impressed with Tamou lately, selected him in another forum in a "who would you buy" thread…would love him in our colours
 
Tamou's selection is all Politics. He's solid, but there are others far ahead of him IMO.

The 18th man being one of them.
 
The Tamou story has been pretty big up in Qld guys and girls

He made his decision to play for Australia

In 2008 and 2010 he represented the NZ Maoris and was named in Four Nations train on squad last season for NZ

Yep it could just be to lock him in.

First we have NSW players playing for Queensland, now we have kiwis playing for the aussies? This is way out of control how the hell can this even happen? Tamou is a Kiwi boy through and through yet he will be facing up against the haka on Friday night.
 
How Morris didn't get picked i don't know, other than slater he is the in form player so far this season. Career best form imo.
 
I actually think Tamou is one of the form props in the comp and has been underrated for a few years now. His issue has been discipline.

As for Darius Boyd. What a joke.
