The entire sport doesnt have enough half backs. And the standard at Academy level of half backs is appalling.

Its only a train on squad theres really no need to be getting so upset about it.

Anyone know what he's done to get dropped from the England squad.
Not even in the Knights squad!
Is it only me who thinks he has all the attributes to be world class, and is not even at his peak yet......?

He's a good standard SL player right now.

Unfortunately, he's playing in an era where wing is probably one of the strongest positions for England. With Jerry, Makinson, Manfredi, Johnson all playing well and genuine world class talent like Hall to come back from injury there's not that much more room for Handley.

Fair point, but I'd have him in above any of those. What has Charney and Manfredi done to get picked above him? Just the Wigan connection?

Seriously? what the heck. He wouldn't even make a top 10 super league wingers list. He is debatably one of the worst around for finishing ability. Good job he has other qualities to make up for it. But absolutely no where near the likes of Manfredi, Makinson, Johnson, Burgess, Marshall, Ashton, Charnley, McGilvary, Russell, who are just the English ones.

Harry Smith is good, although now out of academy age, Lewis Dodd is good and I hear lots of good things about Mikey Lewis.

Well done to Wane for recognising the obvious. Stick anyone outside Hurrell and watch their try tally rise. A solid enough SL winger, but that's about it IMO.

Has Widdop retired from International Rugby now?
Also thought Bentley would have made the Knights squad.

Woah seriously? We must be watching a diferent sport! Lol
