2025 Ashes Tour

[Disco]

So I wanted to ask a question and didnt know where so thought I may as well get in early and just start an Ashes tour thread.

The question though, are train on squads a thing of the past?

Used to love hearing what players were under consideration etc.

Have I missed it or is it a relic of the past.

Interesting I haven’t heard a thing either, maybe Kevie might be a bit slow off the work

I’d say it’s a relic, but the way players are dropping out of contention, maybe Kevvie has told everyone to train on.

Really looking forward to a new ashes tour - always great to watch back in the day, in the wee small hours.

Shame if so.

Always nice to hear....say if a Bullemor gets asks to train on etc. Nice recognition even if they wont realistically make it.

Not just a Manly thing too, like see other young players at clubs get a call out.

Also from the NRL side of things, its more content and we live in an age of content.

Hope they don't roll with that retarded player number jerseys again.

Shiasaki the suprise for me.

What a season from nowhere.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Not much interest in watching these ‘tests’ anymore, even when M-W players are involved.

None in this squad, apart from a wayward local junior.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

24 players for 3 games, so probably quite a few won't even get a game.

England has to win to make it interesting. The Pacific championships could well be worth watching though.

Yeah I'm sure they'll have an Emus game or two in there as well

Taking the young fella to Tonga v Samoa at Suncorp, should be a good matchup. Get stuck into some Loi Hoosi while supporting Tonga.

Is that a first no manly player on a kangaroo tour?

Could be, but not as dramatic as it sounds with the explosion of quality Polynesian players in teams these days.

 

[Nordburg]

No Manly player in the Aus squad and no Manly player nominated for a Dally M,bravo

I had a look for their itinerary but could only see the 3 tests.
Apparently Walters wanted a warm-up v France but the Players Assoc put the kibosh on it, so they are going to have a couple of training sessions with the French squad instead.

Is that a first no manly player on a kangaroo tour?

The most recent Kangaroo tours were 1994, 2001 and 2003.

In 2001 there was no Manly team in the NRL and anyway no Nthn Eagle was selected.

In 2003 as well Manly were back in the NRL but no Manly player was chosen. Manly finished 14th out of 15 teams. Looking at the 2003 Manly squad only Steve Menzies may be said to have been in with a chance of selection given he was often in the NSW team 1995 to 2006. NRL 2003 - Manly Warringah Sea Eagles - RLP
