[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 519397, member: 24910"] A very predictable looking training squad - the only big surprise for me in the inclusion of Dane Coles (who I'm not a big fan of). Ali Williams inclusion indicates that he must be close to being back to full fitness, as I'd imagine they will take 4 locks in the 4Nations squad. Either that or the are seriously considering Craig Clarke, whose inclusion would be entirely justified based on this seasons form. Not surprised to see Weepu included, but I'd imagine he will be under a lot of pressure from Kerr-Barlow to make the final squad. I would have liked to have seen another midfielder in the squad (Crotty would have been my choice). They are obviously hoping that Conrad's Smith recovery will coincide with SBW's departure - however if Smith takes a bit longer to recover I feel they will be left a bit thin in the centres. [/QUOTE]
