Hammy. Couldn't run GPS or play rah rahWas said he didn’t compete in the GPS track and field due to injury that was on the weekend.
I’d say he’s picked already so why run around in the heat if he’s not 100%

Some QLD names in the initial Australia squad
Can’t understand how the standout player in the beat team in the AAGPS competition wasn’t selected….. covering 10,12,15, Fakafanua should have been there
Totally agree and I'm not a Kings supporter, its very political & thats all I will say about that.Can’t understand how the standout player in the beat team in the AAGPS competition wasn’t selected….. covering 10,12,15, Fakafanua should have been there
10 from Qld. 1 Brumbies player....interesting.Only 3 selected from not from NSW or QLD, also surprised not to see any from WA named.
fishingIs there a quota for Qld players?
That sort of logic has no place in Australian RugbyInteresting to see that no players were selected from the Qld White or NSW White squads for the Aussie squad .... fair enough for the Reds squad that got annihilated by 60, but surely some of the NSW White players could count themselves unlucky .... Marshall Le Maitre was the absolute standout for NSW. In the Qld Reds squad, I thought Alex Kerr played very well and another player that I thought would have been very close to being selected seeing he covers both the backrow and 2nd row. Why can't they have a National U18's Carnival so all teams (including the Brumbies, Western Force and Rebels and also have a Combined States Squad for players that miss out being selected from their home states) playing in front of the selectors at the same carnival??? Surely this would eliminate the bias towards NSW and QLD players dominating the Aussie Squad??? To have only 3 players selected from outside of NSW and QLD is pathetic and I'm sure alot of others agree!!!!
Agree with your first point about the 2nds sides having nobody is strange…Interesting to see that no players were selected from the Qld White or NSW White squads for the Aussie squad .... fair enough for the Reds squad that got annihilated by 60, but surely some of the NSW White players could count themselves unlucky ....

The carnival concept is sort of on the way back with the U16s & U19s round robin arranged already. 18s/schoolboys is a must.
The point about players from outside of NSW/QLD I don’t really care about as Vic would be the only region getting stronger is developing players. There has been a long time that these teams have left players out for what seemed to be a quota pick from WA, ACT & Vic. The carnival would help settle this somewhat as they would be guaranteed to play against NSW or QLD.
