To clarify, I wasn't being serious



Although I do think it would have stung a bit to not get picked ahead of that lump, I doubt many players would turn down the chance. Although it would be hard for a player to fly over there now, get over the jet lag and integrate with the squad. Better off sticking with what they have I think, but may be worth taking someone else down there now in case another prop goes down injured.

Chris Heighington?

this worrincy vendetta on this board is getting a bit too personal now imo,can you all imagine how this kid feels with how he has been personally treated by you all in your negative comments?

Spannerz,it's a shame that you had to start yet another thread going just to poke fun at him,rather than just add this needless comment onto one of the numerous other threads that have condemned him throughout his time at the bulls.
could you/any of you do any better by any chance?
by the way it's worrincy not worrincey

The thread is about Morley and England!

Rumour has it that Garreth Carvell is on his way down under now.

Shocking decision if true. There's been props better than him in his own side (Paul Wood) let alone the rest of the league (Lynch, Scruton, Coley, heck even Bailey).

Now confirmed. Carvell has been drafted into the squad.

Good news.

I prefer to have Lynch and Scruton resting up and then easing into pre-season without the unnecessary distraction

Again, I'd rate Lynch and Scrutes above Carvell, but at least they can concentrate on the Bulls 100% now.

Good news. Keep the Bulls players out of the squad. Keep them fresh. Well done Macca.

The "relief" of non of our players replacing Moz is a key indicator of why the international game in this country has little relevance.

agree
Sums up mcbanana tho. You can captain your country one day, not get selected the next for the squad and two weeks later still be overlooked as injury cover.

the guy is a clown and will be sacked within a month. he will end up somewhere like gateshead...

And sadly, it's the same across the entire game in this country. Watching Twitter I saw absolutely loads of people from all different clubs, thankful he hadn't called up their player.

Personally I have attended every domestic England/GB game, except the ones in Wales, for the last 10 years. I hate the club bias that you get from so many about the international game. But even I'm starting to think I'm glad he didn't call up Lynch or Scruton, as I'm SO pessimistic about England's chances in this year's tournament, I'm not sure I want them risking for a lost cause. Don't like thinking that way, but it's difficult to surpress it.

James Graham as Captain??? The mind boggles..

[url=http://www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=rleague/10/10/19/RUGBYL_England_Nightlead.htmlAt least two of his team mates seem perfectly happy with the idea.[/url

Maybe so, but nobody in camp was ever going to say it was the wrong appointment were they? So only time will tell whether it is the right choice.

McNamara is obviously best placed to make the call but from the outside I'd would have picked a couple of players before Graham. He has began to get a bit of a reputation for losing his cool, I hope this extra responsibility has a positive effect on this area of his game.

No, but they could have all refused to comment.

Perhaps the other 20 or so did?

Yup.

And allow the Aussie media to undermine them and twist it's inference.

Do you actually read what you write before you click "submit"?

Might be worth it.

Bitter much?

You're consistent.....at making zero sense.

Still bitter.

You'll have other Grand Finals.

It will get easier with time.

Very bitter.
