Surely with the form they are in and the future these too have in the game, they should be in the England squad. They are young and blood thirsty and work extremely well together and especially with Watkins going to be out and Briscoe not at the top of the game.
Come on Mcnamara, it has to be done.

Gotta feel sorry for Arundel and Crookes! 2 & 3 on their backs but getting held back by a couple of outstanding young kids.

Tbh couldnt understand both signings as Crooks and Lineham did enough last season to have 2 & 3 on their backs.

Crookes looked like a decent player at the start of the season before the got injured. Always good to have options though

I must say I have been very impressed with these 2!
cracking players with huge potential and a possible England 2/3 combination

but I think its too early for them and I suspect they would be behind, hall,charnley,briscoe,watkins,cudjoe,atkins, but if they keep their form and development up then who knows?

hull have got 2 tremendous players on their hands there.

But if form is to go by anything then Hall has been poor
Charnley and atkins, yeah they are a cert
Briscoe not at his best, watkins injured and i dont rate cudjoe.
As far as a 2/3 combination, there is nobody better in the league.
Aussies are never afraid to stick young form players in their squads, so why should we?

Crookes has got to be Briscoes replacement next season , Arundel is a bit hit & miss for me . Plus Shaul would be back up to to the back three next year.

Halls form has been no worse than Atkins this year

Let's play them on the opposite side then!

I enjoyed the moment in the last minute when Hall kicked through and Lineham sent him flying into touch. For me this sums the kid up, "I don't care how good you are, who you play for or what you've won, tonight you are my b!tch." He doesn't care who he is up against, he just sees an international winger opposite him and sees it as a chance to prove himself. Great attitude.

Two very exciting players here they seem to get better and better every game.

Was pointing at Bailey at one point in a Goldie-Dobson way.

Both real class players. The speed of those two on the right when you played Wire showed us up for pace on your right hand side. Here's a great song for Lineham- www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTfwcLdP5Xk you could change it to- 'I am the Lineham for Hull Fc'

It's not just these two young lads as well. SURELY by now Mcnamara has to wake up and release that Houghton is the best hooker in the league. I know Roby has been injured, but for christ sake, Mcilorum is not half the player That Houghton is. He's just a nut job that would probably get sent off in a big international game.

fair points but hall is the best winger we have so would be my first choice straight away.

I would say cudjoe and mcgilvary and goulding and charnley are a pretty good pairing too at the moment.
Briscoe does seem to have gone off the boil a bit, but again, has proved his worth in and England shirt and would probably my 2nd choice for a wing spot.

again, have been impressed with Houghton for a while now and I think he would deserve a call up.
however if we are talking best hooker in the league then I would disagree and say lunt, and not just because he plays for us, he proved last year at leeds how influential he can be.
Houghton,roby,lunt mcilorum? all 4 are very good on their day.

watkins unfortunate injury ,might have opened the door for someone else. given that atkins and cudjoe will be in the england squad, there is a place for another centre or 2. crooks could well be in if he keeps his form going

Way too early for either to be picked for England

Don't be ridiculous HKR are the only club producing exciting and talented young players whereas we just sign ageing overpaid has beens,

This. As great as both are playing, getting bulldozed by massive Aussie three quarters at a young age isn't helpful or necessary.

Both great players but dont think will play for England yet

Too early. England Knights maybe.

having them together in the Knights would be good, they'd learn a lot and keep their partnership growing, they're both brilliant players but as a pairing they are greater than the sum of their parts IMO.

Agree with that.

They look for all the world like future England/GB internationals but they are both raw and still learning. England Knights will be a good marker for them this season.

England Knights for them next. Crooks will still add more size and there's no need to rush either at international level.
