Well done to Whyte and Manu. Whyte will be knocking down the door for Roosters selection very soon.

Good. The less we have involved the better.

[Nonester]

No JWH selection. Will not play in our early 2024 season games.

[Chook2]

Or is jwh not named but was going to be so they can still rule this as games for next season? We will find out soon
as they would not have named him and named him out - same as seb kris
we will find out soon anyway
Madge said he would have named him so let’s see what plays out

[Nicola Tesla]

No JWH selection. Will not play in our early 2024 season games.

So he has missed 3 games so far out of 7 is that correct?

They may count the All Stars game if selected? Not sure how that works!

Trails dont count either I believe, is that correct?

He'll be available round 6 I imagine (I think the Vegas teams get a bye in the first week when all teams play?)

Does that sound right?

Reading through the Kiwi list, there's no way Jared isn't in that squad if available.

Good. The less we have involved the better.

Most of our players will be worn out by March.
So much for a "summer of rest, ready to fire in Vegas and get away to a winning autumn in 2024".

Isnt it literally two games each team? If so, fatigue shouldn’t play a big part. Remember that our boys have had close to a month off already.

[Andrew Walker]

Congratulations to all our Internationals

I hope he was considered, but maybe they are going for the younger guys, all genuine front rowers

JFH
Leota
Tapine
NAS

plus a few young bucks in Leo Thompson and Wiremu Grieg, Griffin Neame.

Trials haven't been counted in the past. Latrell got 6 weeks after his hit on Manu and the NRL allowed the All Stars game to count but not any of the trials.
