Bulldogs winger Jacob Kiraz will reportedly be named in an extended Kangaroos squad for this year's Pacific Championship. The Sydney Morning Herald reports the Bulldogs winger has been rewarded for his outstanding form this year as the Bulldogs surged to a finals appearance. NRL clubs were reportedly notified which players could be in line for selection this week, with 31 players set to be named. The report states that Zac Lomax, Connor Watson, Reece Robson, Tom Dearden and Mitch Barnett are also in contention to make their debuts. The squad will be trimmed to 22 ahead of Australia's first Test match against Tonga on October 18. No Sharks, Titans or Tigers players have been included in the preliminary squad, according to the report. The four remaining teams in the finals, apart from Cronulla, form a large part of the likely squad. Kalyn Ponga was originally included in the Kangaroos preliminary squad, but controversially ruled himself out of contention to focus on Newcastle's pre-season and now faces a possible ban.
