Exiles squad taking shape

Daniel Anderson has named the first nine players for his Exiles squad that will take on England in the International Origin series.

Captain Brett Hodgson will be joined by team-mate Michael Monaghan and another familiar face in the shape of former team-mate Louis Anderson, now at Catalan.

Wigan pair Brett Finch and Jeff Lima are in, alongside Hull’s Willie Manu and St Helens duo Sia Soliola and Francis Meli.

Hull’s Willie Manu completes the listing, with Anderson expected to name more members of the squad in the next few days.

The Exiles take on England at St Helens‘ Langtree Park on June 16th, before the second test at the Galpharm Stadium on July 4th.
