Congratulations to David Klemmer who has been named in the Four Nations squad to tour the UK at the end of this year. Josh Jackson very unlucky to miss out, don't know how Thaiday gets picked before him. Klemmer is the only Bulldog named in the squad with Tyson Frizzell, James Maloney, Justin O'neill, Shannon Boyd, Jake Friend, Matt Moylan and Valentine Holmes named as debutants. Semi Radradra and Andrew Fifita both ruled ineligible for selection due to behaviour.

Full Squad:

Cooper Cronk
Jonathan Thurston
Greg Inglis
Michael Morgan
Sam Thaiday
Matt Scott
Darius Boyd
Josh Papalli
Matt Gillett
Jake Friend
Valentine Holmes
Justin O'Neill
Aaron Woods
Boyd Cordner
David Klemmer
Josh Dugan
Blake Ferguson
Shannon Boyd
Tyson Frizzell
Matt Moylan
James Maloney
Trent Merrin
Josh Mansour

When Dugan came back from injury he was as rusty as hell.
Fifita should of been picked, you can't punish someone for an old mates stuff up.
Still a strong side, hard to beat.

Whats the point of picking Maloney when it will be Thurston & Cronk in the halves, and Morgan as the bench utility if Meninga goes the way of a bench utility?

Probably same reason jake friend was picked, both probably wont even play and just be backups.

Josh Jackson, Andrew Fifita, BJ Leilua and James Tedesco all ripped off. Corey Parker and Ryan James unlucky.

I thought Parker would get picked as a sendoff. How on earth does Thaiday make it? Also Moylan ahead of Tedesco? WTF...

01. Darius Boyd
02. Valentine Holmes
03. Blake Ferguson
04. Greg Inglis
05. Josh Mansour
06. Jonathan Thurston
07. Cooper Cronk
08. Matt Scott
09. Cameron Smith
10. Aaron Woods
11. Matt Gillett
12. Boyd Cordner
13. Trent Merrin


14. Michael Morgan
15. Tyson Frizell
16. Josh Papalli
17. David Klemmer

Just heard on the radio that Fajita was supposed to get the Clive Churchill medal with his his 201 m, 35 tackles and the match winning try, but NRL decided against it due to his off field issues.

seriously , since when man of matches are decided on off field issues, if it is so serious he shouldnt be even playing in the GF.

dopes every where.
