Ryan Hall would be in the England team if fit, but we have some decent wingers to replace him. Watkins is a bigger loss to England, he’s the only World class centre we have.

And
Well, we don't want to end in up a situation where the majority of the squad have few to none caps.

What's embarrassing is that you clearly haven't watched Lyne, luckily Bennett has - you mate are very consistant at being wrong I'll give you that.

Go away sad Wakey man, I knew you would be the one to bite. He’s crap, anyone with half a brain cell knows that. Jog on.

Ooooh tough guy, don’t think I’ll be jogging on old luv your all hot air sunshine.

You know Wayne Bennett (the guy who’s selected Lyne) ?

He made the famous quote that ‘if you listen to the fans you end up sitting with them,

That’s you that is

Quote ="Rhinoshaund III"Sam Burgess out https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-pr ... e4e0467df2'" Have to say I have been less than impressed with him this season in the NRL. Seemed to cough up the ball more than Tom & George in recent weeks. Hopefully the surgery will put him right, but suspect its his stint in RU that as done his RL career the most damage.

Agree with that Sam has not done a right lot this year from what I`ve seen and is probably getting in the team on reputation alone.
Same could be said for Watkins in the past as for me he never showed up much at international level a few years back despite several decent showings when he came into the team.

Milner certainly excelled himself last night. If he continues to self destruct in club competition I'd hate to see what he'd do in front of 50,000 baying Aussies at the SunCorp.

mcshane also. can't handle big games

Milner and McShane are certainly not good enough to play for England and hopefully will not play for England this year. Hodgson, Roby and Clarke are in a different league in comparison.

England must be a hell of a great team if James Roby can't get in the squad.

needs an operation apparently

How about Makinson on Thursday going walkabout for Linehams tries? Clearly he's much better than Hall defensively, right

Roby would be in if available

Burgess and Gale now ruled out, replacements announced tomorrow. Can’t think who will be their replacements with the shortage of players. Maybe Richardson for Gale, Taylor for Burgess?

Hall, Watkins, Brown, Gale, Burgess, Walmsley, Roby, Currie, Widdop now all out.

Its a shame but that's rugby. I don't think Richardson is close to being ready for that level but what other options we have i'm not sure, we just are as ever struggling for halves. The pack i'm not worried about we have plenty of cover there.

Shoot me down but - Richie Myler?

Yes I know...

Can't think of anyone who stands out to replace Gale, interestingly Jackson Hastings declared himself eligible for England in recent weeks but surely it's too soon to give him a call up only other options would be Myler,Richardson, M.Smith

Jackson Hastings is the best option by a country mile, give him a call Wayne.

I would say exactly same.

X 3

Richie Myler called up to the England squad in place of Luke Gale. Liam Sutcliffe and Ash Handley called up to the senior England squad for Wednesdays game vs France.

Probably best available.



Jesus wept.

Yep, and YEP!!
