Well, I can tell you that Reece Walsh at this stage has the custodian position, and the coach, Kevvy Walters, is standing by for the Kangaroos, and I'm pleased to say he joins the run home.
How are we, how are we feeling, Kev? So a lot of, a lot of scuttlebutt, a lot of chat around, uh, where you'd land.
One, uh, you know, James and Sam have both come through a pretty arduous campaign in the NRL in, you know, the last four or five weeks with finals and playing every week and that constant finals footy.
And they haven't really sort of had much of a rest, uh, you know, uh, with winning the grand final as such.
So, um, you know, my philosophy is around what's best for the team this week for Australia.
My intention is to give every player in the 23 an opportunity to start in games and show us, you know, uh, get their opportunity.
Not to show us what they got, because we're all aware of that and what sort of players they are, but, um, just to get their opportunity, you know, I think.
