Fox started the season well but his form dipped mid-season and he never really recovered it. Scored the odd try here and there but has made far too many mistakes.

Briscoe is without a doubt a cracking talent and warrants his place. As for the people criticising Shenton, who else would you stick there? Chris Bridge? Shenton has been one of the best English centres in Super League consistently over the last few years, and maybe better than some of the antipodean ones too. He has hardly done a foot wrong.

Edited for accuracy.

Well, i don't care now who is in the Team, my opinion is my opinion and the team has been picked. We should all get behind England and i personally can't wait for 2.30 on Saturday to be sat there with my Pie watching what i hope will be a quality English Win..

And i'll should as loud for Briscoe as i would do for Fox......

Mid season? -------His form dipped the last few games,
Scored the odd try---------He was joint 3rd try scorer.
Has made far too many mistakes.--------yes he made a couple the last few games of the season,but don't most players make a few mistakes?

But as I said previously the team has been picked now,so lets all get behind the team.

What's the difference? Briscoe has missed most of the season through injury and Fox was named in the SL Dream Team

Briscoe is in Fox is out, end of. lets get behind the lads and hopefully roar them onto a WIN>

Oh well then. That makes me feel a whole lot better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its worse! Smith's defence is way worse than Shenton's.

difference? foxs' form is out, briscoes' form is in

Well at least Inglis will have a sore neck after Smith's tackled him a few times.

Don't know where you pulled this opinion from...

The fact that he can tackle better, and without giving penalties away by not going for the head!

True...Hope Roby doesn't get hurt early doors...going with one hooker is risky in any game!

Plus Crabtree defies logic...the guy is a big unit but rarely causes a good defence any problems...think someone should have a word in his ear and say the idea is to try and run through the tackle not fall into it!!

See that's the problem, he just doesn't look like he'll bust the line like Carvell does....

I think Crabtree is a poor selection, plus most teams work best with two hookers, Using eastmond in that position won't benefit the team, Roby is good, but i prefer the impact play.

If it gets tasty i would of liked to see Carvell available to bring on, likes to give out the rough stuff and isn't afraid of mixing it, hope Crabtree won't shy away.

Of course, being a Hull KR fan you're going to be slightly biased, just like Cas fans will be toward Shenton, Leeds fans towards Sinfield and Smith, Warrington fans towards Bridge, Westwood and co.

I saw most - if not all - of KR's televised games and the game against Cas, and he was steady in attack - and like I said had the ability to score tries but his defence was shocking at times.

You'll want to be kicking to Morris if your kicks are going to be ordinary, because Hayne and Slater can return the ball well. It will be the end of be the beginging of the end for England

Don't know why people are complaining about Crabtree's selection. He's a very mobile prop with good handling skills, and could be ideal for coming off the bench.

Agreed.

Someone that actually makes sense!! (You're not from Yorkshire are you??)

great that crabtree is given a chance! can cause some real damage and excellant offloads.. puts in alot of tackles too.. cant wait for saturday

Wow, so many people on an RL forum who have clearly not seen a game all season.

Love the attitude of "He plays for Huddersfield so he must be rubbish".

and hasnt played for 6 weeks.

Code 13 you are totally wrong, this has nothing to do with who he plays for, i respect every player who pulls on a shirt for any club, if i think that some may not be the best option for England, this has no bearing on my thoughts toward the club.

Ironically, it is you who has just suggested it is due to his club,

Couldn't agree with a statement any less.

Hodgson has been immense this season, and Moore, Mason, Brown and many other Huddersfield players have played very well, to their potentials imo, so this has nothing to do with "Just because it's a Huddersfield Player"
