Kyle Eastmond is too soft to play at international level, he struggles in superleague with with physical side of it, he has no chance of tackling Kite, Bailey, Blair, Vatuvai but it would be quite funny watching it



I can imagine Vatuvai running through him and after he has scored picking the splattered Eastmond off the palm of his had like a splattered fly on a windscreen

Peacock is by far the best captain we have he leads by example and has the respect of the other players. Out of interest who you put at captain?

while i tend to agree with you about peacock i was'nt happy with the way he carried himself during the world cup...

were you happy with any of them?

Quality player.

And before ypou start I know some are not eligable it is tongue in cheek!!!!!!

Why is everyone picking LMS? Everytime we have played em Big Eorl Crabtree has put him on his everytime!!!

Crabtree for me everytime, biased yes but watch him week in week out

If we are picking players on form here guys has anyone actually taken a look at the League table?

Who's that club in 4th? Not one Huddersfield player listed in the first 6 pages of teams?

Crabtree has been outstanding this year and will prove alot of you wrong if he gets on, Wild has been outstanding and is a better player than Hock at the moment and certainly players like LMS and Ellis on current form!!

Some very strange picks on here, Shenton would be a good choice and listed in alot of teams, good player

Westerman is another good young un and like Burgess of Bradford too

Roby, Wilkin and Graham would also be in my pick.

Lee Smith never and better halfbacks than Mcguire, Burrow is ok and Peacock so not biased against Leeds!!

LMS? just can't see it myself, but like Fox at Hull KR and Briscoe is good attacking player, not sure of his defence though.

Especially when he's injured.

The same Gareth Ellis that is performing very well in the NRL?

get a grip, Wild is nowhere near being in the same league as Ellis nevermind being better than him.

Sorry can't argue with that then, if you fly over there every week and watch him then thats fine by me

Phil Clarke must be wrong too cos he reckons Wild unlucky not to get a call up!!

Maybe he's read the reports, seen the highlights or spoken to some of the Aussie posters on here.... then again maybe he really does fly over every week

Aint seen enough to say one way or another if wilds good enough, though from what i have seen of him suggest he isnt good enough to make the step up, but if there two things you can rely on from phil clarke is that he makes some ludicrous statements and anything even remotley related to wigan he will show a biased towards (i dont hold it agaainst him either just shows he is a loyal guy, but he isnt an objective one imho).

Maybe thats why LMS got picked cos Tony Smith read the reports?
