Gold Coast Titans dominate Kangaroos train on squad made up of non-finals teams

FORMER bad boy Albert Kelly has capped his breakout first NRL season with the Titans with selection in a Kangaroos train-on squad - one of seven Gold Coast players in the 18-man selection.
Kelly is joined by teammates Dave Taylor, Ryan James, Kevin Gordon, Aidan Sezer, Greg Bird and Nate Myles in the squad named by Australia coach Tim Sheens on Monday - chosen only from NRL clubs that missed the finals.
Apart from several uncapped Titans, Canberra playmaker Josh McCrone is the major surprise in a side that is unlikely to form much of the World Cup squad to play in October.
Skipper Sam Thaiday leads the Brisbane quartet which includes Origin teammates Matt Gillett, Corey Parker and the return of Ben Hannant.
While Queensland Origin rookie Josh Papalii, Test prop David Shillington, and centre Jarrod Crocker join McCrone to make up the Raiders contingent.
NSW Origin stars Jarryd Hayne (Parramatta), Robbie Farah (Wests Tigers) and Brett Morris (St George Illawarra) are the lone selections from their NRL clubs while Penrith and New Zealand Warriors did not have any players selected on Monday.
Kangaroos Squad: Matt Gillett, Corey Parker, Ben Hannant, Sam Thaiday, Brett Morris, Jarryd Hayne, David Shillington, Josh Papalii, Jarrod Crocker, Josh McCrone, Robbie Farah,
David Taylor, Ryan James, Kevin Gordon, Aidan Sezer, Albert Kelly, Greg Bird, Nate Myles.
