The Australian Kangaroos squad has been named and features many excellent players. However there are a number of players that did not make the cut that could likely represent their nation well.

Injured players such as Kalyn Ponga and Blake Ferguson have not been considered for this list.

7. Nathan Cleary

Nathan Cleary continued to impress NRL viewers in 2018, with a number of excellent performances for the Panthers in addition to a successful first series for New South Wales. As the Blues halfback, Cleary would have definitely been considered by the Australian selectors for a spot in the squad. Though the young half missed out this time, he will play for the Kangaroos sooner rather than later.
