Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga (pictured) will rest half Cooper Cronk from his side that takes on New Zealand in the sides second Four Nations match on Sunday morning.
Meninga has added Johnathon Thurston to the squad alongside James Maloney and Michael Morgan.
Meninga says with Cronk due to be rested, he’ll rotate Maloney and Morgan through the halves as he gives all players the chance to stake their claim on a spot in the Kangaroos lineup.
