For the exiles who would you have for me

Tomkins
Hall
Atkins
Goulding
Charnley/riley
Brough
sinfield
Carvell
Roby
Mossop
Westwood
Hock
O'loughlin

Moz
Jp
Mclorum (sorry about spelling)
Tickle

only player out the backs i dont agree with is sinfield done nothing this season. so its either chase or lomax (swap him about brough around).
not really seen much of carvell or moz this season and jp wouldn't be there.

my pack would be:

mossop micky mac(For the first 25mins)* lynch
hock westwood
o'loughlin

bench;
roby
crabtree
LMS
farrell/tickle/jjb

1. Sam Tomkins
2. Josh Charnley
3. Darrell Goulding
4. Ryan Atkins
5. Ryan Hall
6. Jonny Lomax (We need a young halfback in the squad)
7. Danny Brough
8. Jamie Peacock (Not sure about Peacock but he probably still has something to offer)
9. Mike McIlorum (Roby still no1 at the moment but good to try out a plan B)
10. Lee Mossop
11. Ben Westwood
12. Gareth Hock
13. Sean O'Loughlin

14. James Roby
15. Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook
16. Eorl Crabtree
17. Liam Farrell (We need a young back row in the team)

1. Sam Tomkins
2. Josh Charnley
3. Darrell Gouldng
4. Ryan Atkins
5. Ryan Hall
6. Rangi Chase
7. Danny Brough
8. Lee Mossop
9. James Roby
10. Adrian Morley
11. Gareth Hock
12. Ben Westwood
13. Sean O'Loughlin

14. Eorl Crabtree
15. Andy Lynch
16. Mike McIllorum
17. Jamie Jones Buchanan

If you had those 4 in the team and played a bit more flowing and off the cuff there would be some fantastic bits of rugby being played! Especially with some of forwards you've picked having good offloads.

Going off form, I'd have Mickey Mac starting.

That's a good shout for what the starting 13 will probably be though.

According to Rod Studd on [urlhttp://www.skysports.com/video/inline/0,26691,12780_7797969,00.html[/url they should go with

Tomkins
Charnley
Goulding
Carmont
Richards (when fit)
Chase
Roby
Prescott
McIlorum
Mossop
Hock
Farrell
O'Loughlin

Tuson
Hansen
Burrow
Flower

Because they all agreed Wigan would have a better chance of beating the exiles than England

cant see it myself

1. Tomkins
2. Charnley
3. Goulding (Be good to test him out against the Exiles. in the 2010 4N he was like a rabbitt in headlights)
4. Atkins
5. Hall
6. Pryce (A bit out of no where but he is an out & out 6)
7. Brough
8. Mossop
9. Roby
10. Lyncy (How this guy hasn't played more internationally is anyones guess)
11. Hock(Needs to work on his discipline though)
12. Westwood
13. O'loughlin
14. Burrow
15. LMS
16. Cratree
17. Kirkmond (Not a popular choice, but has been superb fro Wakefiled this year and would rather give him a shot rather than going with Wilkin, JJB yet again)

I think though Mcnamara will go with mainly Saints/Leeds & Wigan players.

1. Tomkins
2. charnley / Broughton
3. Goulding
4. Atkins
5. Hall
6. Brough
7. Lomax
8. Crabtree
9. Macilorum
10. JP
11. Oloughlin
12. westwood
13. Roby

14. Burrow
15. Hock
16. Lynch
17. Moz (not seen much of Moz so dont know his form)

Lynch really deserves his shot.Dont think he will get it though

Tomkins
Charnley
Goulding
Atkins
Hall/Briscoe
Chase/Pryce
Brough
Mossop
McIlorum
Lynch
Hock
Westwood
O'Loughlin

Roby
Crabtree
LMS
Tickle


I like the Pryce suggestion actually, been in better form than Chase from what I've seen.

To be fair, Chase has been playing with 16 blokes who are currently poorly imitating professional Rugby League players



Question for everyone who's posted a team: If Atkins doesn't get picked/doesn't want to be picked etc...who takes his place in the squad? That's where Pryce could go maybe.

1. Tomkins
2. Charnley
3. Goulding
4. Atkins
5. Hall
6. Chase
7. Brough
8. Mossop
9. Roby
10. Morley
11. Hock
12. Westwood
13. O'loughlin

14. Lynch
15. McIlorum
16. Farrell
17. Crabtree

Pretty sure Chase is on top of the assist charts despite missing 4 games this season, so whilst Cas have been crap, he's still creating.

This is currently the best on-form team:

Tomkins

Charnley
Goulding
Atkins
Hall

Pryce
Brough

Mossop
Roby
Lynch
Hock
Tickle
O'Loughlin

McIlorum
Westwood
LMS
Hill

...and this is the team that will be selected...

Tomkins

Hall
Bridge
Yeaman
Briscoe

Sinfield
Chase

Morley
Roby
Peacock
Hock
Westwood
O'Loughlin

Burrow
Wilkin
Mossop
Crabtree

I do think Chase is receiving harsh criticism regarding his form. I think the players around him aren't doing enough. If he was in Wigans side, he would be lethal/

If Atkins isn't selected then i'd try Briscoe at centre (I think he could develop into a top centre)

But Mcnamara will go Charnley/Goulding Hardaker/Hall

1. Tomkins
2. Charnley
3. Goulding
4. Atkins
5. Hall
6. Pryce
7. Brough
8. Lynch
9. Roby
10. Morley
11. Hock
12. Westwood
13. O'Loughlin

14. Burrow
15. Mossop
16. LMS
17. Farrell

in my humble opinion

1. Sam
2. Charnley
3. Goulding
4. Atkins (if its not to much trouble for him)
5. Hall
6. Chase (I dont agree when people say he has been found out. Hes the only bloke who looks bothered for Cas)
7. Brough (the best kicking game in world RL)......(in my opinion)
8. Mossop (Criminal if he aint picked)
9. Mcllorum (Roby might be a more renowned player, but this lad is THE form 9 in the comp)
10. Lynch (a joke he has not been used as a cornerstone of the English pack over the last few years)
11. Hock (Devastating form and can possibly do 80)
12. Westwood (not seen much of him recently, granted)
13. Lockers

14. Chris Hill
15. Roby
16. LMS
17. NOT Peacock or Morley.

Will McNamara pick players that aren't in the elite training squad?

I'd go with:

Tomkins
Charnley
Goulding
Atkins
Hall
Chase
Brough
Mossop
McIlorum
Lynch
Hock
Westwood
O'Loughlin

Roby
Crabtree
LMS
Patrick

Good point, I'd forgotten about that. I can't see him picking players outside the squad as it then renders the squad meaningless. So out of the elite squad I'd go with:

1. Tomkins
2. Charnley
3. Cudjoe
4. Ablett
5. Hall
6. Chase
7. Brough
8. Carvell
9. Roby
10. Morley
11. Wilkin
12. Westwood
13. O'Loughlin

14. Burrow
15. Mossop
16. Hock
17. Crabtree

Tickle and Atkins have got into the squad from outside the ETS - [urlhttp://www.englandrl.co.uk/article.php?id=25289[/url.

Tomkins
Charnley
Cudjoe
Atkins
Hall
Chase
Brough
JP
Roby
Mossop
JJB
Tickle
O'loughlian

Burrow
Hock
Carvell
Crabtree

Is how I would line up given the squad announced. However I expect Wilkin and Sinfield to play and i wouldnt play JP but as he he is captain he is certain to start.

Didn't realise the squad was announced today but Ryan Atkins has been picked and he wasn't in the squad, as has Danny Tickle, though I would have liked to have seen Goulding and Lynch in there aswell.

I find it strange how every season Lynch gets talked up as a potential England player and everyone makes out its some sort of injustice he hasn't been selected. The fact is he has been picked a few times over the years but he's been ruled out through injury or he's had something better to do. Personally I think his time has passed he'll soon be 33 and like Peacock and Morley his best days are behind him and I think it's time we started selecting the likes of Hill, Mossop and Luke Burgess.

I think he deserves his shot at least. If the likes of Peacock, who has been rather pedestrian of late, can be picked, then why not Lynch? He's been in great form for Hull. Props often mature as players in their later years. Lynch has still got a while at Hull. I reckon some of the younger players would benefit playing alongside him like they have at Hull.
