George Burgess on Twitter seems to think he is fit and travelling?

It's a reply from his Instagram account to the England RL post. Bit strange.

Bateman didn't look too clever towards the end of the game today so he may miss out.

Danny may arguably be the best in ESL but not the best for England/GB. Must confess I am a big fan of Josh Hodgson and went to see him play for Canberra against West Tigers yesterday. First game back after over 6 months out with an ACL injury. Came on halfway into the match with Wests 12 -4 up and went off 10 minutes from time as Canberra cruised to a 12-48 win due to a superlative performance by Hodgson, who was the MOM and will win the best NRL player performance of the round by a country mile. Best performance I have witnessed by an English/GB hooker for decades.

He should always be one of the first players picked for England/GB.

Williams injured apparently and won't be playing.

Connor in the 17 according to twitter

… both Taylor and Connor now confirmed in the 17.

…. and both on the bench.

connor and makinson on the bench and thompson in the stands? bennett is either a genius or an idiot

And Bateman in the centres again! Got a quality centre in the team in Jake Connor and yet he's still persisting with Bateman who is a below average centre but a very good back rower. Seriously don't understand some of this guy's choices. And I know he has a good record and reputation in the sport but I can't imagine he built that by playing people out of position all his coaching career.

I for can’t wait to see WB away from the England team. What’s his desk with playing Bateman out of position every time? Why not play Connor there who has been brilliant at that position during the season instead of playing someone who doesn’t play there for there club?

I can only assume Connor is held on the bench so he can come on at to the full back/wing/centre or in the halves. Should there be an injury or anybody just not performing.
But Makinson can also cover in the backs so it seems weird to have them both in the bench.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if either of them never get on the pitch.

No back row cover on the bench so he'll mess about moving Bateman to back row and bring on one of Connor or maintain to cover. I wouldn't be surprised if he brought Connor on to give Hodgkin a break at hooker

As I posted last Tuesday. Bennett is predictable!( well sometimes)

Jakey boy going great so far. Massively changed this game. Hope he keeps it up.
Also think Taylor has shown up well with strong carries and been heavily involved in the tackle to prevent them scoring (when it went to video ref).

Both doing really well. Taylor our best prop

Great for Jake bad for us.

Taylor played well alsog

nrl reporter on twitter already fawning over jake! can see him in the nrl sooner than later

Jake Connor with a shoulder injury. Looks bad for him and worse for us

yea didn't look good, hopefully a stinger injury

Hopefully nothing serious

Great to see him ripping it up for England, he was that X factor we needed to unlock the kiwi defence. Strange thinking back to two years ago when he signed, he was hailed as a cast off with no pedigree. viewtopic.php?f=34&t=596448&start=30

Massive credit to Nathan Brown for developing Connor into an international.
I mean, it can’t be down to Radford. He doesn’t develop young players does he?
