Why have so many of wales super league players pulled out of John kears squad, Wales cannot hope to compete with so many players out side super league.?

Because its not the world cup and therefore the heritage players arent interested?

I suspect its the same for italy, ireland and scotland too........

We knew this would happen for this tournament - the benefit of this though is that those players will be in camp for several weeks; that alone should make them better players for later tests to come.

Gil Dudson , Ben Flower , Rhys Evans , Lloyd White , Ben Evans , Rhodri Lloyd == not heritage players. In fact, the only heritage players you could possibly be talking about are Patrick and Kopczak.

yes these are the players i mean why they cannot play for there country amazes me

Jake Emmit has had a fantastic season for Leigh. Glad to see him make the team, sure he'll go well if picked.

It's a shame Gil Dudson , Ben Flower , Rhys Evans , Lloyd White , Ben Evans and Rhodri Lloyd are all missing. They could of given France a good run for their money if included. I hope it's not Shaun Wane and Tony Smith pressuring the players to make themselves unavailable so they can have a longer off season.

I wouldn't be surprised if Kear's just not chosen major players from clubs still involved in the playoffs, waiting until their domestic seasons are over in case of injury etc.

No, it's the final squad, no more changes or additions.

been reported some player just want a rest if thats the case id never play them again
