Kangaroos coach Tim Sheens has named his squad for this month’s Four Nations.
Due to some high profile absentees – Billy Slater and Paul Gallen are among those injured or suspended – a whopping 10 rookies have been named.
“We have a really good blend of experience and youth,” Sheens said.
“The positive for me is the experience that even the debutants have. We have a high proportion of State of Origin representatives and premiership winners and they all deserve to wear the jumper.”
