Tedesco, Paul Vaughan, Josh Jackson, Blake Ferguson and obviously Thurston who is injured.

So you have no interest yet you open up a "RLWC" thread & pour a bucket of negativity on it? Awesome, thanks for the contribution.

I’d give them the trophy now.

Some poor picks though - Dugan, Woods, Maloney, Hunt, Holmes

Its an interesting comment because it is pretty much how i feel after watching last years 4 nations it was a complete walk over for the Aussies BUT, it was only a 3 years ago we got very very close to beating both in the 4 nations over there and NZ won that event and looked the best side in the world at that time with Johnson killing it. I would never write off the kiwis with their pedigree at the big comps over the last decade but yeah, don't really find much hope for us bar plenty of straw clutching, i just hope we can play some good stuff and compete, 2008 was a complete farce we don't need that again.

Surprised they left out Sam Thaiday to be honest.

Tedesco very unlucky to miss out IMO. He's been the best full back in the NRL this season.

I have a feeling they'll start Cronk and Munster in the halves and put Morgan on the bench as Utility Back/Spare Hooker.

No Greg Inglis.

Or Matt Scott

Did his ACL in Week 2, put him out for the season. Was never in a position to be in the WC squad after spending the season on the sidelines.

Tedesco is in the Italy squad.

And boy is he not happy about It!!

Thaiday hasn't been picked because he hasn't been good enough.

Is Wood's really a poor pick? the dudes just won Daly M Prop of year. I know plenty thought he didn't deserve it & there's a bit of you either love him, or think he's average thing that goes on down under, but the guy's a workhorse, averages 160m a game and 28 tackles. For all the moans that Vaughn didn't get it, his stats are hardly any better than Woods at 144 meters a game and 30 tackles. Like they generally do down under, especially in the pack, they've gone with the more experienced and more consistant Prop over a few years. Vaughn's been a bit of a one season wonder so far in his career.

Agree with others Tedesco should have been in their at FB.

Agree, no way he should of been picked, if he had it would of been on just his rep. Also I'm not sure if he's not happy because he's not picked, or because he ddn't hear it straight from Mal Meninga after all his service to Aus

Just read his rant this morning, it sounds like he's more bothered about not being told in person but rather from a leaked news report. Can't argue with that tbf.
