With the 24 man squad announcement for the Four Nations coming up, I thought we'd see what team we put together as a board. I'll be putting on different positions every so often with a shortlist to pick from. The squad will have 2 Full Backs, 3 Wingers, 3 Centres, 3 Halves, 2 Hookers, 6 props and 5 back rowers. If any players you'd like to pick aren't on the shortlist than please say.

For today we will do Full Backs, you have two votes on the poll and please indicate your order of playing preference in a post. In the case of positions on the bench starting spots will be allocated on preference.

=#FF0000I understand people will want players in different positions but I am doing this for a squad in which the players are likely to play. So please vote on the positions given rather than saying a player will play elsewhere. Even though I agree in most cases.

1. Sam Tomkins
2. Zak Hardaker

Sam tomkins is a no brainer, I would also take ratchford as his versatility could turn out to be very important.

How much has Ratchford played at Full Back this year? If it's more than 15 games I'll throw him in there too.

I would personally prefer to see Tomkins at 6/7, largely because
a) I think Hardaker is a better defensive full back than him
b) I think Tomkins, even though he isn't a regular half back, is still better than most of the alternative options.

For me,
1 Hardaker
6 Widdop
7 Tomkins

Whilst I completely agree with your sentiments, I'm trying to keep the squad in line with the positions players will probably end up playing if selected.

Would you play Tomkins over Hardaker if he couldn't be accommodated in the halves?

Both should play. Whether we do that by shifting Tomkins to the halves, or Hardaker to the wing. Both should be on the field.

Tomkins at fullback with Hardaker left centre for me and Matty Smith at 7.

Once again, I agree, however I'm trying to enter the head of McBanana and I can't see him doing that.

Hardaker.
Tomkins at 6.

Why should both be on the field? I don't think we should boot out another player who plays in the correct position just to accommodate both.

1. Tomkins
2. Hall
3. Shenton
4.Reed
5. Charnley
6. Widdop
7.smith

OR (before Rhino fans have ANOTHER fit)

1. Hardaker

With Tomkins at 6 with one of Smith/Widdop missing out.

Personally I think the top option is best as the half back options are better and we are playing players in their out and out positions. If Tomkins were injured then I'd have Hardaker at FB way before the likes of Grix and Eden who are just garbage.

I have gone Hardaker and Lomax as squad cover (is he fit by then?) Would play Tomkins in the halves.

Lomax won't be fit but I'd already typed his name when I remembered. Would you play Tomkins over Hardaker if he couldn't be accommodated in the halves?

Fair enough.

If i was picking the team then i would want both in the team no matter what.It just seems to me to make sense to have Tomkins move up to partner Widdop where he can still have his huge attacking influence on the game and we would then have the added bonus of being more secure in the last line of defence and Zak does bring his own attacking threats to the table too.I suppose you could accommodate both by playing Zak on the wing and leaving Sam at FB with Smith at 7 (who imo is the only other half who should be considered) but we are also very strong on the flanks so would be leaving out some top talent somewhere.

At least we have proper choices for once it seems.

Do you, or any Leeds fans, think Hardaker could play left centre? That's where I think we have a question and as the Australians can have a back line full of full backs i reckon we could accommodate Hardaker.

He wasn't all that at centre when he played there for us however he has come on as a player since so i am sure would be better these days.

Is Shenton not nailed on for Left Centre anyway?

Tomkins full back. Hardaker and Hall on the wings

Hardaker full back, Tomkins halves. No question.

GOOD GOD how did g Eden get in the vote if he played for us against France we would get beat never mind OZ or new Zealand are you

Agreed. Those two have to be on the pitch. Tomkins has pretty much played at 6 this season everytime the Warriors were in possession.

I think he's terrible but in the interest of fairness and no bias he had to be included as an option at least. I'm not saying I'd pick him, far from it.

Not sure people are getting the whole pick for the offered position as it's where they are likely to be played...

For what it's worth I would have Tomkins at 6, but it simply isn't going to happen so can we please vote for FULL BACK.

Scott Grix plays for Ireland so why you pick an inegligible player is confusing

Is the Scott Grix suggestion/option a serious one?

Crikey.

Tomkins.

Hardaker in squad but not playing.
