International New Zealand Kiwis

I doubt they selected NAS for for to kick stones while others play. The fact is, he’s still one of the most decisive players in regards to changing momentum or reinforcing dominance in the NRL.

Who do you remove from the pack to fit him in the 17?

Would need to be Papali'i I imagine, Sorensen and Nikora are both 80 minute players and you've already got guys to cover lock.

I'd still pick Papa or Willison over NAS but that could happen.

Papali'i has been one of the most damaging forwards for the Panthers this season and one of the best interchange forwards in the entire NRL. Willison is an up and coming star out of the champion Broncos. He interchanges Payne Haas and is at times is just as damaging as Payne. NAS is not even on the bench at storm. He is a liability in defence and penalty magnet when he does play... I would be shocked if Stacey picks NAS over those boys...

The one thing about Nelson is that he is so committed to the Kiwi jersey. I remember a few years back he said something like Kiwis for life. It remains to be seen how much game time he gets, but he will be good for the squad.

I would have preferred Leo Thompson or Griffin Neame

Maybe they'll 'manage' him. i.e. save him for the Tonga game and play Papali'i v Samoa.
