After performing a minor coup and ousting Chris O'Keefe from the Country origin job- Manly's Kermit Krockett QC has named a strong squad for the City vs. Country clash in the upcoming round. Three Division Two players get a jersey for the clash- with young gun Scott Ella the biggest surprise in the squad. Noteable omissions include Danny Buderus (injured), Luke Priddis, and Andrew Johns (named ineligible).
