Ireland World Cup squad

[Bedfordshire Bronco]

Anyone got a list or likely starting 17?

[jim_57]

Myler and Keary have said they’re playing. They have quite a lot of eligible Super League players and some NRL players like Finucane, Nikorimas, Harper, Joliffe, Curran and a few others eligible but not sure how many will commit to playing.

Here is a decent write up on possible players.

I don’t think that is up to date, Martin Reilly doesn’t play at Sheffield

Presumably, Terry  O'Connor's son is available.

Not if Terry qualified under the Grandparent rule.

It actually doesn’t matter whether it was a grandparent or not If your father plays for nation you’re allowed to play for that nation no matter what.

Nevermind I might be wrong I’ve just checked the eligibility rules it doesn’t say that, but I’m sure I heard it somewhere.

That would be massive if true 

Means the current situation of Aussies losing players to Island teams is infinite ! 

Can't be true surely?

And that would only be true if every international quality Rugby League player was the son of an international Rugby League player... or vice versa.

Well spotted.  It's at least six months old.

It's only 3½ weeks to the first games so squad declarations can't be far off.

Kyle said somewhere or other that he's not playing and has some media stuff.

List is a few years out of date. Roland Podesta doesn’t play anymore and last played in World Cup qualifiers against Spain et Al.

It’s not true. This isn’t a rule.

Not as long as a few years.  Reilly only signed for Sheffield for the 2022 season and left for Batley in March which narrows it down to a short time window.

Interesting then, maybe it’s an accumulation list. Ah well.

Either way, it's not current.

Declarations to be in three weeks before tournament starts. So this weekend by my reckoning.
