Other than an article in Monday's LE I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else. The "reason" given is a very vague "The feeling is it's not going to be suitable for them this year". Nothing other than that.The article then goes on to say that Anthony Laffranchi and Craig Gower have indicated their intentions to put their names forward for the Italian WC squad. In the ideal world the Italians should tell Gower and Laffranchi to go take a hike unless they make themselves available for all Italian matches, injuries allowing. I'm sure the woodwork will be creaking with heritage Italians (and Americans) once it comes around to naming the WC squads.

Josh Mantellato is a real success story to come out of the Italian WC campaign.
The 21 year old NSW country representative took himself to Italy to play in all their European games two years ago and all their WC qualifiers, and was one of the stars of the side.
This year he was given a trial for the Newcastle Knights NSW cup side and has played in every game this year. He has scored over 300 points to easily be top point scorer in NSW cup, and in today's paper there is speculation that he will be offered a top 25 contract with Manly next year.
Playing and training with some NRL players in the Italian squad improved him out of sight.
