Widdop and chase are in the squad you know.

Crucify Australia of course they would

If Mylers form continues he's got to be in the squad 21 try assists this year...

? He is in the squad

Haha I was meant to quote the OP, he's not in his squad

The post was aimed at people who pick sinfield over Chase and Widdop. I do know they are in the squad. And yes at times, Australia wont be able to handle the pair. Having the Burgess bros and hammer the ball in will give Chase and Widdop time to break them down.

I agree. Brough should be ashamed of his own unprofessional attitude.

As for the squad, I'd go with:

1. Tomkins
2. Charnley
3. Watkins
4. Cudjoe
5. Hall
6. Sinfield
7. Widdop
8. Burgess G
9. Roby
10. Mossop
11. Farrell
12. Ellis
13. Burgess S

14. Lunt/Burrow
15. Westwood
16. Crabtree
17. Graham

18. Burrow/Lunt
19. O'Loughlin
20. Morley
21. Ferres
22. Lineham
23. Hardaker
24. Myler

Starting team-

Hardaker
Charnley
Watkins
Reed
Hall
Widdop
Tomkins
Graham
McIlorum
S Burgess
Ellis
Farrell
O'Loughlin

subs
Crabtree
G Burgess
Westwood
Roby

Rest of the squad-

Lomax
Cudjoe
Myler
Burrow
Hill
Mossop
Hock
Ferres

Not a cat in hells chance it will be that though.

I don't get why people want to play Tomkins at half back when he doesn't play there.

I feel a few of these players are struggling for form but my team would be if all fit and playing well...

1 Tomkins
2 Charnley
3 Reed
4 Watkins
5 Hall
6 Sinfield
7 Widdop
8 S.Burgess
9 Roby
10 Graham
11 Farrell
12 Ellis
13 O'Loughlin
R Ablett
R L.Burgess
R G.Burgess
R Lunt
Squad: Westwood, Hill, Myler, Hardaker, Mossop, Burrow, Crabtree.

I'll go if everyone is available;

Tomkins
Charnley Watkins Reed Hall
Sinfield Chase
Graham Roby Mossop
Ellis Westwood
S.Burgess

Myler G.Burgess Crabtree O'Loughlin

Hardaker Widdop Lunt Hill Morley Farrell Ferres

1. Sam Tomkins
2. Josh Charnley
3. Ryan Atkins
4. Jack Reed
5. Ryan Hall
6. Gareth Widdop
7. Matty Smith
8. James Graham
9. James Roby
10. Gareth Carvell
11. Ben Westwood
12. Gareth Ellis
13. Sam Burgess

14. Michael McIllorum
15. Liam Farrell
16. George Burgess
17. Gareth Hock

George Burgess has to be on the bench been ripping it up in the NRL off the bench. Hock is one of maybe 2-3 players who has a bit of a nasty side, need him to come on a get under the Aussies skin....they will bite always do. Farrell is quick and strong, doubt that the Aussies will tire but in that last 15 minutes of a half I fancy him against Lewis and Thaiday especially with his mobility.

Tomkins
Charnley
Cudjoe
Watkins
Hall
Widdop
Chase
Graham
Roby
S Burgess
Farrell
Ellis
O'Loughlin

Lunt
G Burgess
Crabtree
Westwood

Rest of squad:
Myler, McIlorum, Hardaker, Walmsley, Hill, Ferres, Ratchford

Presumably those picking Hock think England will do fine despite conceding more penalties and making more errors than the opposition?

On current form and form alone

Tomkins
hall
Watkins
Reed
lyneham
widdop
myler
hill
lunt
graham
farrell
ellis
s burgess

g burgess
mossop
Crabtree
haughton

what macnamara would pick

Tomkins
hall
ablett
reed
Briscoe
sinfield
chase
morley
Roby
crabtree
westwood
Ellis
s burgess

burrow
g burgess
graham
jjb

And that's a guarantee is it?

I presume people opt for Hock, because he can play a bit

Widdop is very out of form at the moment isn't he?

Backs: Tomkins, Hardaker, Ratchford, Hall, Charnley, Watkins, Cudjoe, Reed, Widdop, Sinfield, Lomax.

Forwards: Graham, S.Burgess, Crabtree, Hill, G.Burgess, Roby, Lunt, Westwood, Farrell, O'Loughlin, Ellis, Hock, Ablett.

That wil come back to haunt you. Nice to know that you give your unqualified support to McNamara

Tomkins
McGilvary
Cudjoe
Watkins
Hall
Widdop
Brough
Graham
Roby
G.Burgess
Ferres
Farrell
S.Burgess

Westwood
Ellis
Crabtree
Sinfield

Res: Myler, Houghton/Lunt, Hill, Mossop, Hardaker, O'Loughlin, Hock, Walmsley, Charnley

Obvs Brough won't be playing so i would throw Myler in the mix, i think he has really come of age in the last couple of years

Wont be this team in a million years though!!

And how can he put Ellis in over Ferres if, as he boldly states, the selections are 'on current form and form alone'?

Tomkins
Lineham
Cudjoe/Reed
Watkins
Hall
Widdop
Smith
Graham
Roby
Hill
Ellis
Farrell
S.Burgess

Westwood
Sinfield
Crabtree
G Burgess

Smith?



Secondly if you are going to put Sinfield in the team at all, he has to play 80. Putting him on the bench is pointless. There are much better impact players. Sinfield offers game management so to bring him in after 20/30 mins is a waste.

And Hall who hasn't played well for a few weeks.

24 man squad:
FB: Tomkins, Ratchford/Hardaker
W: Hall, Charnley, Briscoe
C: Watkins, Reed, Cudjoe
HB: Sinfield, Chase, Widdop, Myler/Lomax
P: S Burgess, Graham, G Burgess, Mossop, Hill/Carvell/Crabtree
H: Roby, McIlorum
SR: Ellis, Hock, Farrell, Westwood
LF: O’Loughlin

Well although I like that, there are 28 names on there. If you are picking the team (not just you of course) you surely have to choose when you have the Hill/Carvell/Crabtree bit. Which one are you having in?

Ok then, Hardaker, Myler and Crabtree
