I see Bennet has gone down the Roy Hodgson route - clearly some are un droppable.

Just seen the squad, man of steel not in but finish in the bottom 4 and your in, the mind boggles.

Brett Ferres ?? The mind boggles..

What do you expect Bennets an ozzy! Tried tested and failed! Well play em again

the last thing he'll want is England to win

Exactly.

His inclusion is based on one good season for Shudds...

Good series against NZ last year might have swung it.

Who would you have picked instead?

Not from a fashionable club but Ashurst has had a great season for us. Ferres hasn't for Leeds.

Hughes, McMeeken, Currie (if he was fit, Westerman. Hell even before his injury Ashurst.

5 there before Ferres surely.

Surprised Miller hasn't been called up.

Plays for wakey

Four in there that shouldn't be if based on form. Ferres, McGillvary, Watkins and the over rated Ratchford.

Stephan Ratchford is pure class and can cover several positions to a high standard.

You reckon? Not convinced. Been watching him closely on TV and he's what my old Dad would call a good club man.

If Currie was fit he'd have been in ahead if Ferres for sure.

You've done better than the Facebook crowd with your suggestions

"The best player he's played against" was a quote from someone who's played against Ratchford. I agree with his selection to the squad, a class player.

I can see some arguments against certain players - Ferres and Watkins for starters - but not Ratchford; he's class.

Well your dad didn't know much I'm afraid - first on the team sheet for me.

I'll defend Ferres here. For some reason Ferres comes alive in an England shirt and always troubles the Aussies and the Kiwis.

I agree form needs taking into account and his has not been great all be it in a poor team however a proven track record at this level is more vital IMHO.

Same old same old to play for England you have got to play in red and white or yellow and blue and it doesn't matter how bad a season certain individuals have had they have been picked on past performance s than current form

Yes, same old, same old I'm afraid.

I know I shouldn't be but to be honest, I am struggling here to feel patriotic towards it this year.

My wife wants to go to one of the games, as she has never been to an international before, she is more keen on 4 Nations this year than I am

Wales v Jamaica at Belle Vue on Friday 21st Oct Eastern Wildcat.
Spoil her there!

Could do Fickle.

With tea and a pint prior at the Ruddy Duck.

No driving

She'd be bonkers to refuse!
