[b]Today it was announced that Brent Kite's recent strong play in the Manly front row has been rewarded with his selection as the Kangaroo squad's 18th man to cover for any late injuries in the Austalian test squad.[/b]

Meanwhile the Kiwi's have ommitted Manly's Steve Matai and Parramatta's Nathan Cayless from their final test team to take on the Aussies in Brisbane on Friday night.


In what should be a great encounter between the cross Tasman rivals, the Australians have been installed as favourites despite the Kiwis being the raining Tri Nations champions.

All Eagles eyes will now be on veterans Ben Kennedy and Steve Menzies in what maybe their final test matches.

Des Hasler along with all Manly fans will be hoping they remain injury so they will be available for the Sea Eagles when they take on NRL premiers Wests Tigers on Sunday.
