The above may look good on paper but it amounts to nothing more than window dressing and doesn't serve a purpose imho.

The coaches for the last inter county games were more an attempt by the RFL to rehabilitate ex-players - eg Andy Gregory IIRC - than to choose a dynamic coach for a supposedly important contest.

Strange as everytime I they have played against each other Yeaman looks the better player. Both good defence (Shenton maybe slighly better) but Yeaman is better in attack, as he is stronger. I wouldnt have either for England at the moment.

Briscoe has been good this year, like Fox hasnt had the service though, your post shows your obvious bias to Rovers.

Forget the servive for Fox, he has missed 26 tackle and made 21 errors this year, Engalnd cant afford such a liability playing for them.

Sorry for the mis-understanding, I was referring to Shaun Briscoe, not Tom. I don't watch Hull so I have no idea how he's playing this season. I suppose that's my Rovers bias showing through again!

Wire have Morley, Westwood and Bridge in the squad.

Robins have nobody.

Oh dear.

Surprised that Ben Harrison didnt get a call up. Impressed me this year. Thought that Atkins was in with a shout aswell.

Leave us some players please!

Suits me fine, always has done. My club is more important to me than internationals and I have always been happy if ours are overlooked. See how you feel when Bridge gets injured and Morley, Westwood get bans for taking heads off.

to be honest I'd be saying oh dear if we had had anyone called up, no one worthy of a nod so far this year. Maybe Watts would benefit from getting a train on spot (when they're available) as the international time must nearly be up for Morley.

I'll feel the same as I do now. Fingers crossed they come through the game unscathed, annoyed we have to play a game with a weakened team and pleased for them that they get a chance to get themselves recognised prior to the 4 Nations. I think you may have misunderstood my "Oh dear". I was referring to the imbalance of the teams now on Friday week, not mocking your team for having nobody in the squad. I like you as a club. Best fans in the league.

TBH, the ones we might have had in the squad have been rubbish recently, I think we have enough to match your forwards, its the loss of Bridge that will be of benefit to us as we have no-one of quality in his position (assuming he would play at 6).

Agree on Harrison, Atkins not really stood out for me this year

Atkins has been quietly effective. Does a lot of work both clearing our line and in defence. Chipped in with eight (I think) tries. Not as spectacular as Bridge, King, Riley, Hicks but he's done well. Not sure he's on England form though.

Big assumption with Tony Smith in charge! He'd look at your squad and choose from Briers, Bridge, Grix and Monaghan for the halves. If Webster and Welham are the centres, we'd need good defenders in there so Bridge might have been left there.

Fox and Briscoe's form did not merit selection on this occasion, but I'm sure they will both turn in sterling performances for Rovers against Wire.

SM has clearly picked form players, and quite rightly he's overlooked ours.

Fox's international career won't be over yet, not so sure with Shaun though.

I'm not sure what your level of knowledge or interest is in the game, but the fact you have said that not once but twice suggests to me you are totally clueless

tidied.

My posts are disappearing quicker the KR's chances of making the play-offs

No excuses with a fully fit team against a depleted Wire then

Can we not use the "it's because we are gash" one?

does losing 2 players make you depleted?

opps, i forgot about Morley..... good job Warrington have a massive squad then isnt it.

no but 3 might
