C Bridge (Warrington), T Briscoe (Hull), S Burgess (South Sydney), K Eastmond (St Helens), G Ellis (Wests Tigers), J Graham (St Helens), R Hall (Leeds), S O'Loughlin (Wigan), D McGuire (Leeds), A Morley (Warrington), J Peacock (Leeds), J Roby (St Helens), N Scruton (Bradford), M Shenton (Castleford), K Sinfield (Leeds), J Tomkins (Wigan), S Tomkins (Wigan), B Westwood (Warrington), G Widdop (Melbourne).

Strong squad.

I'm sure I read somewhere that Widdop wanted to play for Oz? Must have been total guff!

Stong squad, glad we're taking it seriously - England camps are too few and far between to be half baked.

Widdops a big suprise. Thought he said he wanted to play for Aus? Or is he just using us as a stepping stone to prove he can cut it before jumping ship?

Decent squad.

Could struggle against Wakey with Lockers, Joel and Sam out.

Widdop
Briscoe
Bridge
Shenton
Hall
Sam
Eastmond
Graham
Sinfield
Peacock
Burgess
Ellis
Lockers

Joel
Morley
Scruton
Roby

Gunna be tough playing Wakefield away without Sam, Joel and Lockers

I cant believe Heskey has been chosen over Bent and SWP over Adam Johnson. He has lost the plot!!!

They will play v Wakefield.

If we had 4 called up we would have had the option to postpone the Wakefield game.

Very good looking squad that. Widdop was asked about origin and said he'd love to play one day.

1.Widdop
2.Briscoe
3.Shenton
4.Bridge
5.Hall
6.S.Tomkins
7.Eastmond/McGuire (depending on fittness)
8.Morley
9.Sinfield
10.Graham
11.Peacock
12.Ellis
13.O'Loughlin

14.Burgess
15.Roby
16.J.Tomkins
17.Scruton

Seriously though, there is no Myler, Atkins, Riley and Harrison. Is there a secret plot going on so we dont win the league?

Riley?

It'll sure be interesting to see whether they do back up.




Harrison for me deserved to be in the squad he's been excellent for wire so far.

Only problem with these mid season internationals but as a big supporter of the International game, I think it's worth the hassle.

Looks like we'll be without at least Eastmond, Graham, Roby, Wilkin, Soliola, Maurie, Gardner for the game against Hudds - don't see us getting anything out of that!

That depends if Brown has another rant between now and then

I know he probably felt obliged to include a Bulls player - but Scruton before Lynch?

Very surprised not to see Coley included, personally think he has been superior to both Scruton and Peacock by some margin.

Myler is injured isnt he?

Would have both Tom Briscoe and Ryan Hall over Riley

Harrison should be in over Westwood though.

Atkins is crap

We will be missing Bridge, Morley and Westwood vs Hull KR though.

Harrison has been great this season, but he hasnt been better than Lockers. I dont know how Westwood keeps getting in these squads, but I think he might miss out this time due to Joel's inclusion.

I havent been on the Wire board but I can imagine they are gutted that a few of their superstars havent been included.

I'm sure ET will still find plenty to whinge about.

Not at all. More worried about Hull KR. Those three are the three who should have been included.

Yep, injuries permitting, don't see why not.

Most of the Aussie players backed up after the ANZAC test and the Origin game, why should ours be any different?
