10 man bench with rest of the squad bar Lomax who is injured apparently.

A strong team selection, other than the choice of Bateman in the centres.

I favour England to win this one.

Seeing Ratchford start at full back must make Jamie Shaul think about becoming Scottish.

It was the interview with Bennett on the RL website where he states that it wasn't a difficult squad selection. People like Watts, Shenton, Shaul, Sneyd and some others must be a bit cheesed off that they are overlooked for worse options that have been selected in the squad

I disagree. After Hardaker any full-back choice is a step down. However, Ratchford personally had quite a good season in a poor team and did well in the Samoa friendly.

Can we read anything into the squad numbers, or do we think it's just something practical (e.g shirt sizes)?

Shenton and Sneyd, defininitely. I'm a Wire fan but can't understand how Kevin Brown can be in the squad. His only good game all year was the WC challenge against the Brisband Broncos. I hope that ( and a few contributions I suppose it's fair to say in the friendly against Samoa ) hasn't convinced Bennett that he's good against international opposition. In the case of Shenton, how we can once again start a tournament with a second row forward ( Bateman) at centre is beyond me. Shenton sometimes looks limited in attack, but even then he's better than Bateman as he's a specialist centre. In defence, Shenton has always been top notch.

Anyone else not able to get the stream to load on the website?

Lomax injured, again?

Working OK for me.
