Only two players from premiership winners Sydney Roosters in Australia's Rugby League World Cup squad
AUSTRALIA coach Tim Sheens says Sydney Roosters' "league of nations" make-up was the main reason for only two members of the NRL premiership winners gaining selection in his World Cup squad.
Uncapped Boyd Cordner and centre Michael Jennings were the only Roosters rewarded with selection in the 24-man squad, while beaten grand finalists Manly provided only Clive Churchill medallist Daly Cherry-Evans.
Sea Eagles trio Anthony Watmough (knee), Glenn Stewart (knee) and Brett Stewart (hamstring) were not considered, having been ruled out by Manly medical officials after the grand final loss.
Cordner joins Andrew Fifita and Josh Papalii as the only uncapped players in the squad, although Sheens admitted Roosters halves Mitchell Pearce and James Maloney had come under strong consideration.
"You look at how many New Zealanders are in their (Roosters) squad and other guys that will be playing across the World Cup, most of the Roosters squad will feature in some jersey in the World Cup,'' Sheens said.
"With Jennings that was an obvious one for us.
"The halves were considered as well, that was a tough call - the three that we've used are the incumbent that have played well.
"Particularly with Cherry-Evans being back-up to Cooper (Cronk) and Johnathan (Thurston), that will be an interesting contest for us during the World Cup as well because all three are in great form.''
Sheens admitted Cordner's ability to return from an ankle injury in the Roosters' 26-18 win over the Sea Eagles merely rubber-stamped his selection.
"For some weeks we've been watching where he was up to with his injury,'' Sheens said.
"But the fact that he played last night proved his fitness.
"He'd been on our radar most of the year, last night just confirmed his ability.''
The squad contains 13 Queenslanders who took part in this year's State of Origin series win.
Australian squad for the World Cup:
Greg Bird, Darius Boyd, Daly Cherry-Evans, Boyd Cordner, Cooper Cronk, Robbie Farah, Andrew Fifita, Paul Gallen, Jarryd Hayne, Greg Inglis, Michael Jennings, Luke Lewis, Brett Morris, Josh Morris, Nate Myles, Josh Papalii, Corey Parker, Matt Scott, Billy Slater, Cameron Smith (capt), James Tamou, Brent Tate, Sam Thaiday, Johnathan Thurston.

Most players deserved their selections but very surprised to see Papalii in the squad there must have been some sort of promise made to him when he decided to play for QLD that he would get selected for Australia , i can't see him getting any jersey other than no18.....& all i can think is Hayne must have had the game of his life against the Kumuls to gain a jersey
