PM's XIII - Squad

Mal on 7 News saying that Chez withdrew due to injury. Hopefully it's just a cleanout of joints or something

7 also said that they will broadcast the RLWC free on 7

If Killer hadn't called it representative quits after 2010, he would have at the very least been in the NSW squad until about 2015 (whether it would have made any difference to the Qld domination is another matter). Cherry on the other hand has been blacklisted by Qld since he backflipped on the Titans and did the ultimate sin for a Queenslander.....he remained at Manly.....a Sydney team. They showed their hand this year by choosing Milford, Munster and Hunt in front of him despite what many believed was his career best form at the time. And by extension (and I hope the World Cup proves me wrong), he appears to have been blacklisted from playing for Australia.

Queenslanders have no memory. Manly were their favorite team pre broncos.

Apparently DCE was Meninga's first choice to be the #7 but declined the offer as his other half is due to give birth to their 3rd child in the next couple of weeks and he didn't want to have to be overseas, even if it is only PNG, for 5 days next week when she could go into labour at any time.

Thus Mal moved Maloney to half, promoted Bird to 5/8 and Walker came in on the bench. When it comes down to it, Dylan can cover centre, 5/8, fullback and even the wing if needed.

How does Woods keep getting picked, let alone being named captain?

Pfffft, If I was PM, I'd demand to choose the team!

well done Manly boys.

Far more interesting contest if we let the Papuan PM choose the Aussie XIII.

Meninga was probably one of his heroes as a kid and he'd want him to play instead of coach

Its on this Saturday, but I can't find a broadcaster

Schedule is ridiculous

The Papua New Guinea Prime Minister's XIII to take on Australia in Port Moresby next Saturday has a very unfamiliar look about it, with none of the first choice PNG Hunters available because their Intrust Super Cup Grand Final will be played in Brisbane the next day.

What a farce
