Why has pistol pete been left out of the squad?

Tim Horan (67)
Who do you drop?
Nick Champion De Crespigny is about the only person he might replace, but even then Nick is more a big body tight player, which Samu isn't.

Yeah its a great question, I thought Samu was in the last squad, wasnt sure why he would have been dropped. Was CDC coming back from injury?

Tim Horan (67)
apples and oranges
CDC offers a lot more when it comes to a big body playing tight..

Tim Horan (67)
They're carrying a smaller squad to take to NZ, 2 less players(1 back and 1 forward).

This is a bit like the where is LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) chat for weeks. The side atm is clearly very much in a status of earnt your jersey and you will have to wait for an opportunity for the rest of the squad.
Coming off a home loss Schmidt will want a reaction from the group being backed in. If they go down, I would expect some movement for Perth.
