News Jacob Kiraz is on the verge of a remarkable Kangaroos debut after the Bulldogs flyer was picked in an extended Australian squad

Totally deserved.
I doubt there’s anyone who puts their hand up more than Kiraz.
loves the tough stuff, good in the air and can finish.

Its a shame, but getting right for next year is more important at this stage.
If Special K continues doing what he has been, then he will get Aussie caps soon enough.
Hopefully he gets a look in with NSW as well...

Only 3 wingers, seems like Kiraz might make the final squad.

Yes but we know how selectors have picked players from other positions to take a wing spot
mostly because of defensive issues, Kiraz does not have that issue
 
What a shit era for the Kangaroos. The team from the 2000's destroys this team.

Happy he got selected but upset he is injured.

He is a champion, my Misses went to a Christian podcast being held at the Leagues club last night and Kiraz and Xerri were there. They faced timed my kids and I, made their year!

Very respectful and polite, even called me Ummo lol

I remember the World Cup team. Think it was 2000 or 02. Matt rogers couldn’t even make the final 17. He’d vs Russia and France etc. I think even John’s couldn’t get the 7 jersey full time. Him and Kimmorley were fighting over it. Barrett, Fitler, Ben Kennedy, Jason Steven’s, Tallis, Shane Webkey, Robbie Kearns. Was a fully loaded team.

Didn’t Jason steves cut himself before the final so he could get blood binned and wouldn’t cost an interchange?

The only reason that Joey was 9 & Kimmorley 7 is because Anderson was the coach & Joey was the best in the world at 2 positions.

Take the SAB
Start with a Shiraz continue with an Arak then extinguish with a Beer...Repeat and repeat again,
You'll feel nothing that's until you wakeup the next morning :laughing:
 
Pretty impressive actually to make that squad, because if you look at the other players, they either played in origin this year, or would have if not injured (TTurbo, Munster, Cleary). Only Staggs, Kiraz and Burton didn’t (Burto was 18th man for Blues on 2 occasions?) though, so really Kiraz and Staggs are the only ones not repping either origin team this year. Did Coates play, or would he have? Have a feeling he was injured? Forgot that Ponga didn’t play iirc, but pulled out for Aus anyway. And now I see Kiraz can’t play either..sad.
