Ethan Strange will debut for the Kangaroos while denying Roosters transfer rumors amidst uncertainty about Sam Walker's future.
Ethan Strange is set to make his Kangaroos debut on Saturday night, named on the bench for Australia's Week 3 World Cup match against the Cook Islands in Townsville.
The Canberra Raiders five-eighth told AAP he had no knowledge of reports linking him to the Sydney Roosters.
Strange, 22, was mentioned as a possible replacement for Sam Walker, whose future at the Roosters is uncertain after contract negotiations collapsed.
He remains contracted to the Raiders until at least the end of 2028 and rejected suggestions he might join his father and sister at the Roosters.
