How does Mc Ilorum get anywhere near any England Squad ???

We all know why, really. If he was at somewhere like Wakefield or Salford he wouldn't. It's the same for Rob Burrow's inclusion and why Ablett is in but neither Ferres or Kirmond are. Hudds finished top of the pile with a strong English contingent yet get one representative.

Burrow is a must for me coming from the bench. His elusiveness and speed will really catch tired defenders out late in games. I would have included Lunt above McIllorum and Crabtree had to be in there. Ferres, Kirmond and Ratchford must have been very close to making the squad. The two players for me that are constantly included when they shouldn't be are Ablett and Jones-Buchanan so at least one hasn't made it.

Ablett can play in the centres and Burrow at half would be my explanation. Still rubbish though.

If that was why, Whiting would be a better choice than Ablett. It's who they play for, simple as that.

So did you not see them go head to head three weeks ago in the play-offs (meaningful game), where Mcllorum out-classed Lunt?
