A LOOK AT THE CONTROVERSIAL OMISSIONS FROM AUSTRALIAS FOUR NATIONS SQUAD:Andrew FifitaThe NRL and Australian commission has finally drawn a line in the sand. After being suspended for six weeks last year for abusing a referee during a junior rugby league match, Fifita writing a message of support for convicted killer Kieran Loveridge on his arm was considered the last straw. While it was not illegal, it was in poor taste in the extreme, NRL chief executive Todd Greenberg said.Semi RadradraAfter making a controversial Australian debut in May, the Parramatta winger is now facing domestic violence charges to which he intends to plead guilty. Australian management were concerned his upcoming court date could prove a sideshow during their tour of England.

Having announced he will step down from State of Origin next year, the decision to leave him out ends his representative career.

Meninga described him as being very close but was considered to be behind Darius Boyd and Moylan.Joey LeiluaThe Canberra-tackle busting machine was discussed but was overlooked, Meninga going with incumbent Josh Dugan and Maroons Origin representative Justin ONeill. His chances were also harmed after suffering a hamstring injury in the Raiders preliminary final loss to Melbourne.Jarrod CrokerLike his Raiders teammate Leilua, was considered to be close but his knee injury kept him from being named.Josh MorrisWasnt considered because of a knee injury suffered in Canterburys finals loss to Penrith last month.Josh MaguireDespite being an incumbent, the Broncos prop wasnt considered due to his drop in form, with the likes of Shannon Boyd and David Klemmer preferred.James TamouLike Maguire, was a part of the Roos mid-season Test win, however wasnt picked due to the decline in his performances this year.

Coach Hue Jackson said Bitonio is done for the season.Obviously, hes out for the rest of this year, Jackson said. Its unfortunate. Joel is one of our best players up there.
