B rad Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Strange Strange Team. Obviously not the "test" team so surely these players cant get an official test in their rep records. Australian PM's XIII Men's Squad 1 Corey Allan Brisbane Broncos 2 Zac Lomax St George Illawarra Dragons 3 Jesse Ramien Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks 4 Brian Kelly Manly Warringah Sea Eagles 5 Nick Cotric Canberra Raiders 6 Jake Clifford North Queensland Cowboys 7 Daly Cherry-Evans © Manly Warringah Sea Eagles 8 David Klemmer Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 9 Ben Hunt St George Illawarra Dragons 10 Jordan McLean North Queensland Cowboys 11 Tyson Frizell St George Illawarra Dragons 12 Tyrone Peachey Penrith Panthers 13 Jake Trbojevic Manly Warringah Sea Eagles 14 Aaron Woods Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks 15 Reagan Campbell-Gillard Penrith Panthers 16 Matt Prior Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks 17 Chad Townsend Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks 18 Gehamat Shibasaki Brisbane Broncos 19 Reece Robson St George Illawarra Dragons 20 Enari Tuala North Queensland Cowboys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_57 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 If it was supposed to become a full test seems Australia didn't get the memo.. Was hoping they would name a 25-30 man squad for this, NZ & Tonga and select from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allora Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 More than a couple of strange selections in that squad. Talent is secondary to whether players are confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSaint Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Are they not changing their name from Australian PMs XIII to Australia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futtocks Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 A peculiar mixture of top players and fringe selections. There's a thread about this in the Australian section, which suggests that the PM actually got involved in picking the players this time, instead of just putting his name to the team.

I wouldn’t even say that, Brian Kelly is barely good enough for NRL. Lomax has heaps of promise but has literally only just broken into first grade. Corey Allan??? Jake Clifford??? The forwards look more conventional picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B rad Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 Thanks to Peter Beattie been very approachable on Twitter, I can confirm this is not a test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So where’s the confusion? Is it just a ‘test match status’ in that clubs have to release players for it, so PNG can put out a stronger team.
