Radley made the Junior Kangaroos.

They were always only going to pick one of Murray and Radley and clearly Murray was the better of the two!
Not taking anything away from Radley though he’s been very good this year and deserves his spot in the junior Kangaroos.
They’ve just called Campbell Graham up for this into the squad too, must’ve been an injury to one of the backs.

Sydney Roosters forward Victor Radley and Parramatta captain Clint Gutherson have been added to the Kangaroos squad for next weekend’s Test against Tonga at Eden Park.
Radley and Gutherson will travel to New Zealand as part of a 20-man squad to prepare for the Oceania Cup Test but are not expected to play.

Should be a good solid game and the Aussies will be better for the run against New Zealand.
Tonga played a power game to win against the Poms so Australia will have to be careful against a Tongan side full of self belief.....and talent.
