That said, I wouldn't say Smith had anything to do with this, as Carvell and Brough already switched allegiance which was nothing to do with him, and tbh there is a very good chance that these won't make the final squad and Smith won't be coach after this year.
The real problem is that not giving the likes of Ireland high profile games after a succesful World Cup hardly encourages players to stay with them. If GB were still around, they could play for Ireland and then the big Tests too.

Quite right. Ditching GB seems to be doing more harm to the likes of Ireland and Wales than good.

| A bit of favoritism creeping in there from Smith I feel, I've said it before and I'll say it again the England coach should have no connections what so ever to any domestic teams.
Neither of those two players are good enough anyway to get a spot in the team, and they're not even good enough to be third in line.

Na, but it also doesn't mean it can change between a dog and a horse when it suits

| This is becoming a bit of a joke now. We cant keep having players changing which countries they play for as often as they change their socks.
Also this week it was announced Mogg, Greenshields and McGuire can play for France. At least with Harrison and Bridge they were born in England and played fo Ireland through their ancestry, but in France's case it is a joke.
Once you have played for one country that should be it, you play for them or no one at all.
Imagine the outrage, if David Beckham couldnt get into the England Squad anymore so decided to go play for Scotland.

Its called picking his own players before others. National coach should be independent and not be linked to any club thats the only way you will get players picked on the form they are in.

| Spot on Andy Greg,the issue isn't which country they have switched allegiance from or to,it's the fact they have been selected by their club coach Tony Smith when they are nowhere near good enough to be anywhere near an England squad SMITH OUT!

You missed out "In your opinion" from that sentence.
Ben Harrison has had a tremendous season and is a great prospect who will no doubt benefit from a place in the train on squad.
You've obviously seen a lot of him as you have noticed that the photograph of him on the BBC website isn't him.........oh but then again none of you have noticed have you?

| The national team has an embarrassing array of talent to choose from. The fact they play for Warrington is irrelevant but Chris Bridge???? Deary me!

Funnily enough I did notice it was a photo of Tyrone McCarthy but seeing as this is the BBC were talking about it's pretty much to be expected that they'd get it wrong.
And yes it is my opinion on those two players but this is a forum where people are suppose to express opinions.

I think Harrison is going to make an outstanding player. Best young forward prospect at Warrington since Sculthorpe in my opinion!

If Chris Bridge plays for England. I wont watch any international RL again until Smith is sacked.
The fact Wire now have 7 in the train on squad is pathetic and embarrasing.

| 1 or 2 players from all other clubs, how many from Warrington?! I know Tony Smith has a big nose but he really should look beyond the end of it at some point.

| I agree, what the hell is Smith doing giving other players a chance? we should stick to the tried, tested and failed players like Pryce, Gardner, Wilkin, Burrow, O'Loughlin and Sinfield.

He cant yet as they are still in the comp.
He can only pick players who are not involved in the playoffs.
Perhaps thats why so many warrington players

I am very surprised at the inclusion of Bridge
I do think Harrison is worthy of a train on squad place.
The other 5 all have previous representitive honours under Tony Smith before he or they had any connections with Warrington so no major surprise really?
Should Wigan get beat on Saturday I'm sure that next week we'll be arguing with you that the squad has been added to with what we consider to be over rated Wigan players!!

Thats not hard though is it, seeing as though you havent had an academy since Sculthorpe played in it.

| Chris Bridge! That would be comedy classic watching him turn out against the Aussies.
As for Harrison, i do rate him but he's not ready yet. The experience may well do him good!
