Seven Storm NRL champions in Australia's Rugby League World Cup squad
Fullback Billy Slater and backrower Felise Kaufusi are among seven players from the NRL premiership-winning Melbourne Storm selected in Mal Meninga's Australia squad for the Rugby League World Cup.
Kaufusi was one of six rookies confirmed on Tuesday in the 24-man squad for the tournament, which will be played in Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea from Oct. 27.
Sydney Roosters fullback James Tedesco is the surprise omission after being chosen by his National Rugby League peers as the player of the year. Meninga has opted for Slater, Darius Boyd and Manly's Tom Trbojevic as fullback options ahead of Tedesco.
