Just a month away now until we kick off the World Cup against Samoa.

A couple more fixtures to get through where hopefully we pick up no more injuries.

Who makes the squad for you? How does your starting line-up look for that opening game?

Which players from the Nrl will be coming in? Will Jackson Hastings be chosen? Victor Radley sounds certain to be in. Of the ones that have been in before, Josh Hodgson has been out all season so he's likely out. Oliver Gildart hasn't had the best of seasons so he only has an outside chance. Tom Burgess and Elliott Whitehead are certain to go. Ryan Sutton and Herbie Farnworth are strongly tipped but by no means certain. What about Dominic Young's chances? Still a novice of the game but a raw talent.

What about the old guys that were there in the 2017 World Cup like Ryan Hall, Kallum Watkins and Chris Hill, do we need their experience in the squad?

Does young Jack Welsby make your starting team?

I'd like to see Andy Ackers and maybe even Sneyd in the squad, Wane seems to favour the Wigan or ex Wigan players though. I worry if we have Micky Mac at 9, his short temper may get the better of him and cost us. Also I think Tomkins hasn't had the best of seasons and shouldn't be in the squad either.

young should definitely be in the squad - hes a better pick than hall that's for sure. He's got the athleticism needed and the skill and been holding his own against the best in the nrl this season so why not! Ackers is a good shout.

It'd be interesting to know how ticket sales are going, I see adverts on social media about tickets being limited / selling out and on the world cup ticketing website lots of games say low availability, but then you have a look at tickets and they're still available in most price categories and blocks of the ground.

The problem with picking Sneyd is that the team will spend at least half of the game without the ball and defending and he's fairly weak in that area. He's not tough enough for that level of rugby in my opinion.

Ackers is a good shout as is Watkins.
Wane will pick a team he thinks will win so it wont be Wigan centric.
I think Marshall should be in the squad.
I wouldnt have Hastings in the team.

They don't seem to be doing badly for the big games like the opener, the England games and final. Games at Headingley also doing well. But sadly games outside the heartlands like Middlesbrough, Coventry and Donny are looking a bit sp. The media will start running some stories soon though.

The high ticket prices are getting much criticism, but the organisers are adamant they won't reduce. Can see both sides here as in 2013 it became a bit of a farce with the promo codes, there were so many that you actually had to sit and type different ones in just to see the biggest discount you can get.

Past ticketing strategies have really messed up big events in rugby league. Now fans expect things on the cheap when really, a world cup is a premium event and should have higher prices than a super League game.

I've probably missed some players from aus who can play but

1. Tomkins
2. Makinson
3. Percival
4. Wardle
5. Marshall
6. Welsby
7. Lomax
8. Walmsley
9. Roby? If not Clark
10. Thompson
11. Whitehead
12. Knowles
13. Radley

14. Clark/mcshane
15. Burgess
16. Lees
17. Farrell/Batchelor

Sutton deffo isn't better than the likes of walmsley/Thompson/Lees

Is young better than makinson or Marshall? Never seen him play

Just cause players play nrl doesn't make them a world beater look at jack Reed he was pretty average

Walmsleys injured. Oledzki should be in

Tomkins
Makinson
Newman (if fit, Percival if not)
Wardle (if fit, Davies if not)
Handley
Lomax
Williams
Burgess
McShane
Thompson
Farrell
Knowles
Radley

Welsby
McMeeken
Lees
Oledzki

I only got as far as Tomkins. Did you watch him this season? He's done, several better players at fullback and stand off than him.

Saints will win the world cup.

Who would you pick instead ?

His voice on the pitch is far superior to most players. I think Tomkins is a must for us just for his vocal part. He ain't a bad player either.

I'm a fan of Hardaker on the pitch. He'd be in my taam whether at full back or in the centres.

I think with the loss of Sam Burgess and James Graham from the last World Cup squad along with the suspected loss of Alex Walmsley, then we're looking weak up front in the middle. We need to find some stars there.

On Dominic Young I think he's still got a lot to learn but what an athlete he is. I don't know whether this is his time yet but there's only one way to find out. I'd certainly make him a much bigger threat to make a difference than Liam Marshall with all due respect to Liam Marshall.

Thanks for your reply with giving your team. I wouldn't go with that but you're entitled to your opinion. No place for John Bateman in your side scares me. He's our best player and a must for me.

Joe Batchelor in if Bateman gets a ban after Friday?

Whitehead should not be in. He has been terrible for the raiders when I've watched them and most of their fans are of the opinion that he's finished.

Why is the game persisting with this daft system of club bans impacting internationals? Football doesn't do this and we want to see the best players at the World Cup.

At one point the England football team had a policy of not picking players that were banned domestically - but that applied only in friendlies and is now discontinued.

IMG will sort it out in time. In the interim, said IMG is hardly covering itself in glory with the marketing of the World Cup. Even if they were not brought in for it, this would be a chance to market themselves - and bring more money into the game. Can't see anything outside the RL media and forums - and therefore neither can the non RL watching public! Was bombarded by billboards and bus ads long before cricket's "The Hundred"! They went the full, errrm, 22 yards.

Personally never saw any hundred stuff. I guess with a lot of advertising you see what you are open to.

I think the strategic plan from IMG is being released on Monday next week - if they want to make a mention of the WC and the international game as a whole they will do so then.

As for the squad, right now I would go something like this:

Tomkins
Young
Watkins
Percival
Makinson
Williams
Lomax
Oledzki
Clark
Lees
Farrell
Knowles
Radley

Welsby
Thompson
Burgess
Batchelor

With Davies, Farnworth, Smith, Ackers, Sutton, Cooper and McMeeken in reserve.

Not an enviable task, we lack depth all over the park in comparison to the very strong squad in 2017.
