Wonder why



England 19-man squad: Ryan Atkins, Sam Burgess, Shaun Briscoe, Tony Clubb, Eorl Crabtree, Peter Fox, James Graham, Ryan Hall, Gareth Hock, Danny McGuire, Scott Moore, Adrian Morley, Richard Myler, Sean O’Loughlin, Jamie Peacock, James Roby, Michael Shenton, Sam Tomkins, Ben Westwood

Burrow certainly has the edge on Myler at the moment. Wilkin would be ahead of the backrowers picked too, IMO... but Hock and Westwood do give the pack some grunt and O'Loughlin is in good form by all accounts. Yeaman needs some form - if he gets that he could compete with Atkins and Shenton, but probably not improve on them massively. I rate Raynor highly, but he is hardly one for the future. If T.Briscoe isn't ready for Aus and NZ (and he probably isn't), Fox and Hall is probably the best bet (again IMO).





You just put Smith in there to rile me, didn't you? Tbf, he's moved ahead of Hodgson, after the weekend. Pryce at centre maybe? JJB is decent enough, but I doubt he'd be so high up the pecking order if he was at Hudds or Wakey.

I put Lee Smith as he is a quality player, however TS was never his biggest fan and he has also not committed his future to Leeds so that may have gone against him.

im surprised welham didnt get in tbh

he has been outstanding for rovers

Outstanding progress, yes. In immediate contention for an England spot... even squinting through my Rovers specs, no.

Maybe one day.

That was kinda my point or did you miss the wink
