BJB has a much more error prone game than Charnley highlighted in both the Grand Final and Challenge Cup but he has freakish attacking abilities that can win games. I personally feel Josh does have a future however in the England team and it could be as a right position.

anyone going tomorrow know if there's any pubs nearby to watch the wendyball before the match?

Centre is a different matter, I'd like to see him get a run there, seems to have a decent pass on him and moving him inside might see his positioning not be exposed as much.

He might just move to for Wigan if Amos turns up next year or Ryan King get's a run out.

Big fan of King as well as Charnley, but they'd get absolutely murdered if they played together. Attacking wise they'd be awesome, but defensively they be far too small + lightweight imo.

Will they have their own kit with them being called England knights? Agreeing with most of these comments, well worth 3 quid and a crackin team
To watch!!

Have you seen Charnley in the flesh? Small and lightwight are two words I wouldn't use to describe him and with another off-season with Bitcon under his belt he'll be more than big enough to play centre in Super League. He's easily as big as Michael Shenton, if maybe one or two inches shorter. He can look small because of his low-to-the-ground running style but I have no worries about him being undersized

Just checked it out, there's no way Charnleys 6ft! Doesn't look it at all!

I retract my previous statement.

charnley's arms are the size of my legs, he's a beast for such a young lad

he is exactly the same mould as Jason Robinson, short, stocky and exceptionally fast

Are all the stands open? Just not sure which stand to go in.

Probably open West (main seating) and North (Standing behind sticks). This allows for a 7000 gate which will be plenty. £3 adults £2 concessions is a steal though.

Charnley has the frame to develop in to a beast of a lad.

I don't get how anyone could call this lad lightweight for a winger or centre coming through at 19 years of age. If you look a lad like Marsh, Foster or Hardaker coming through they are what i'd class as a touch on the lightweight side but certainly not Charnley.

As a winger he's not lightweight, but as a centre he isn't among the biggest.

Any body know the half time score.

Charnley with the brace good on him!

It was a very entertaining game and very physical, particularly with Westwood putting in some big hits with Mossop, Westerman and Watts also putting themselves about defensively. Charnley was very good when he got involved. Best players were Westwood and Myler (can't believe McGuire is picked ahead of him for England). In fact McNamara must be mental if he doesn't include Myler in the squad.
Mossop did well and got better as the game went on. He made one run where four French players couldn't stop him so they stripped the ball away and conceded the penalty. Farrell also tackled everything that moved as you would expect.

The only real disappointment was Ratchford who looked poor at fullback.

Quote ="Builth Wells Wire"Not according to this report. www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... ml&BID=480'" I know I just read that report and wondered if I was at a different game. He definitely offered and attacking threat but he kept making errors and fluffed a few good try scoring opportunities. Plus Stacul ran over the top of him for the last France try when he should have been stronger in defence. Here's another report for anyone who's interested...

Quote ="Builth Wells Wire"Not according to this report. www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... ml&BID=480'" He showed glimpses of real class including a good try but he made that many errors it overshadowed his good touches. The game was littered with handling errors though to be fair. As for the stand out Westwood looked a class above and the French looked scared of him. I thought Myler went well, Charnley is improving rapidly and Danny Houghton looks a prospect.

Anyone know if there's a DVD of the match??

I cant believe England football schoolboys get shown on sky sports 1 yet our National B team cant get on... this is one of the big reasons we are not growing as a sport.

Great to see Josh amongst the tries and the goals.

houghton was stand out for me, and although myler had his moments, he equalled those with poor passing and poor decision making at times
