Who do you tip to have a big year at club level and be picked for international (obviously this may depend on the coach).

For Bradford I reckon Langley & Scruton. And Godwin and Halley with a very small chance of getting in the squad.

For cas, westerman and owen, reckon both would have got a shot last time if it werent for going under the knife.

Maybe chase for nz to as he has been in the training squad before and is getting better and better.

for hull tansey and i would have said tom briscoe to challenge for the centre position but with raynor leaving he may get another season on the wing.

No Shenton???

for us I reckon Moz, Carvell, Westwood, Higham, Myler and Riley in the train in squad

I think he means youngsters to break into the team.
We've got a very good pack already but I wouldn't be suprised to see Ben Harrison break into the team from Warry and take Westwoods place. He's only about 21 and imo sky's the limit. He reminds me of a smaller Burgess imo, will still be a very good player and I think he could do it at Test level

If we're only talking forwards then Luke Adamson from us. If I can add a back, Stefan Ratchford.

Maybe Luke Burgess or Carl Ablett from the Rhinos.

Scott Murell could be a shout from us if he adapts to his new role at hooker.

danny washbrook and craig hall

I expect Clough to make the squad this year, if he carries on with his 2009 form at least.

i must have had a few when i wrote this

tansey
briscoe
calderwood
yeamo

Going off our start to the season O'Loughlin should be nailed on for a spot in the pack and Gleeson should be getting that right centre shirt back.

Obviously Sam Tomkins will be in any squad and Joel Tomkins doesn't look a million miles off now. He's probably been our best forward so far and looks bigger, fitter and more confident.

If we weren't as strong in the front row i'd say Coley would be a decent bet. He's started the season very well.

Harrison looks a good bet for a place in the England squad at some point this year.

I think Bridge is better than Gleeson, I genuinely do.
He caused problems all night on saturday, Gleeson, well, caused Matt King one problem but didn't do a lot for me. He looks trimmer than last year though, we'll see how it pans out.

We hardly had any ball on Saturday night and guys like Gleeson, S Tomkins, Carmont etc were pretty quiet because of it.

Gleeson was as ever safe as house in defence and has been very good with ball in hand in our first 2 games when we've actually had some posession to work with.

I'd be suprised if he's not in the selection frame when the internationals come round.

As for Bridge he'll be there or thereabouts aswell i'd guess. He had Carmont at 6's and 7's on Saturday night.

Suprised me that because i've always liked Carmont but he couldn't handle Bridge on his own at all on saturday.
The other question is do you give the shirt to a 30 year old Gleeson or a guy whos about 25 in Bridge. Bridge's problem will always be his size though, classy player but 13 stone just isnt heavy enough for an international centre

I just think with internationals you've got to pick your best side regardless of age. I'm glad we had a little look at some younger players in the four nations but i'd now like to see us go back to just picking our best 17 wheather the players be young or old.

Guys like Hall, Shenton, S Tomkins, Eastmond, Crabtree etc would still be in my 17 but then i'd also bring in more experienced guys who were left out last time like Gleeson and Leon Pryce(as a utility back) back in.

Pryce should be back in but personally I wouldn't have him near the 6 shirt. He just doesn't have it at that level. I've not seen him play 1 in a long time but he would make a cracking fullback, failing that is he the answer to the right centre debate

I'd be happy to have Pryce at fullback, wing or centre tbh. He's got to be our most talented outside back because he's big, quick and athletic.

Never an international 6 though.
