Good confidence booster for the lad, lots of improvement left in him.

Nothing against the lad cos I ain't seen a lot of the kid but it just shows how far behind we are at international level if kris is the best we may have in the centres, the Aussies have people like falou, inglis, cooper etc. Good look kris anyway, from a black and White to a black and White at heart.

While it's great for him to be in contention, I have to agree that's a sad reflection on the pool of centres available; he's a young lad who's only just proving him self at SL level never mind international level. I hope if he's picked he proves to every one he's internation class.

If I was a Rovers fan (fortunately I wasn’t dropped on my head at birth

) I wouldn’t want to see him anyway near the international set up for a while yet. England are a disgrace at the moment both on and off the pitch, let him concentrate on establishing himself in SL and building on his impressive ‘raw’ talent.

Never thought I'd ever say this, but I actually agree with you there.

Perhaps including him and some of the other 'fringe' youngsters in the training squads would be a better option.

Think Shenton has a better chance than anyone for the England 3 shirt.

Think its a bit soon for him, but WTF do I know, I thought Fox was better than Calderwood

I wouldn't disagree, he deserves a shot.

Tony Smith rates the lad....Hull fans don't reckon he is up to an England shirt.....lets wait and see whose right

You have to take into account, of course, how many of the FC fans that don't reckon is up to an England shirt have even seen the kid play!!!?!?!?

He isn't (yet), but including him in a squad and mixing with players who are could be just as rewarding and fruitful for him.

Is this the same Tony Smith that led England to their worst World Cup campaign in living memory ??

Yep, thats the one.

Kris is making good progress and it would be great to see him picked, not just because he's a Rovers player but it would show that Tony Smith can actually think for himself with selections, unlike his woeful World Cup squad.

I think it's about time we left a lot of the current England squad behind and showed some faith in youngsters. Australia are never concerned whether a player is "ready" or not. If they're playing pro and playing well, then they're ready if you ask me.

Tony smith rates Calderwood you lot don't


Are you wrong then?

Ouch!!!!....... i think i just heard a toilet flush

It won't do the lad any harm joining up, but you only have to look at the couple of naive moves he made on Sunday, when he chose to come inside rather than give it to Fox who was in acres of space and probably would have scored. 80% of the time he is very good, its the other 20% which will catch him out at a higher level, maybe in a year or so.

I understand Rovers are keen for Welham to sign a new long term deal.

What great timing this story is..............................







































......for Kris

Wouldn't you be happy Rovers are signing up their best young players on long term deals then.

Why would it make a Hull fan happy?

I'm happy for Kris to sign the best deal for himself and one that suits his individual personal goals be that at Rovers, Hull, Doncaster or Pint and Pot 2nd team it doesn't matter. Its the players interest what is of importance to me.

this story would have been more believable if it was released 24 hours later
