Smithies named in England squad; Radley surprises with recovery; Wane cuts squad to 24 for Tests.
The latest dish from raiders.com.au serves up news that Smithies has been named in the England squad, a move that has sent shockwaves through the Rugby League world.
The Roosters' Victor Radley, who was thought to be out for the season after a shoulder injury in round 26, is one of the seven NRL stars chosen by Shaun Wane to take on Samoa in Tests at Wigan and Leeds.
Ben Gardiner's Toa Samoa are set to touch down at Heathrow, ready to face a formidable opponent still licking their wounds from a devastating loss to the Pacific nation in the 2022 World Cup semi-finals.
Wane made some tough decisions, cutting his squad down to 24 players.
