I don't know if any of you guys watched the Catalans/Wigan Warriors match, but the continual dribble coming out from Stevo and Eddie Hemmings the Pommy Commentators was diabolical, criticising Brian McClennan and co for wanting Stacey Jones in the Kiwi side when they had said they were going to introduce youth.
There's a lot of youngsters that have been selected in my book, far more than the usual test match side of things.
Harrison Hanson
Greg Eastwood - withdrawn due to injury
Fuifui Moimoi - withdrawn by irrational club
Iosia Soliola - withdrawn by irrational club

How many youngsters do the Pommy commentator gits want? There was always going to be a mixture, and there was always going to be the likes of Stacey Jones involved with the squad. There was never any question about that. I'm sure they'd have loved to have got other relatively inexperienced players like Benji Marshall, Tame Tupou, Manu Vatuvei and Sonny Bill Williams involved but they were rational with the selection of only one player per club for only six clubs with the understanding of the club's NRL requirements. Parramatta and the Roosters deserve to miss the eight on the back of their policies - what gets me is these clubs HAVE to release players for 3 Origin matches per year, but when it comes to one class above that they decline the invitation for one player from their club to represent their country. Unbelievable.
