| What is the state of play with Rob Burrow? I know he was injured against Cas but have no idea how serious it is. I assumed that his absence from the England squad was down to the fact that he was still crocked but I've read elsewhere that he is being considered for the game against Catalans? If it's not injury that's ruling him out of the international game where are all the protests from Rhinos fans? Surely he's still England's best scrum half.

| I think that Tony Smith is trying to spread the squad out across more of the SL clubs rather than just having the Leeds and Saints players predominantly taking most of the squad places up, imo it is the ideal chance to give exciting players like Myler,Shenton and Atkins etc a go
I wouldn't read too much into the squad that takes part against France though, as imo Tony Smith will revert to his best squad come the end of season

TBH I think we could send a team assembled of Hunslet players and still beat the cheese eating surrender monkeys!!! Ickle Rob's absence wont make much difference IMO.

Not according to [url=http://www.therhinos.co.uk/news/7372.phpthis[/urlhe isn't.
Leeds have probably played their most fluent stuff this season with Sinfield and McGuire at half back.

| I'm not sure but Rob seems a bit hesitant this year.
Maybe the knocks to the head have taken their toll a bit
or possibly just a bad patch/dip in form

| I think the England 'international' is a waste of time and effort TBH.

It is not the first team. It is the middle of the season. It is a friendly.
What is the point?

gets the guys together to allow bonding, allows coach to take a look at players in training as well as going through plays an team philosophies.
Its a much thing for the national set up if we're to catch up with the world champs NZ.

Much like taking the full-strength England side over to France last year was vital for the World Cup campaign?
I won't put too much weight on any of it. France are currently a lot further behind England than anyone would have really expected, and I fear that their inclusion in the Four Nations is a bit premature.

From what I can make out playing for a Catalan side evokes more pride as playing for the national side. I think that's a problem for them.
The bigger issue they have is some very strange team selections by John Monie. Logically, you'd expect them to field sides almost totally based on Dragons players but Monie has regularly selected semi-professional players from the French Elite League - sometimes Catalans rejects - over French players playing week in week out in Superleague.
Not sure Monie was ever the right man for the job anyway but I do wonder if the team selections are more political than designed to put the best 17 players out.
