I agree, I hope i'm wrong but it is just a fallout squad with 4 teams still to have a pick from

Whether or not they make the flight over it is a credit to our club that they have been chosen. We came into the Super League with Scott and many said he was never going to make it in the top flight. Not only has he proven them wrong he has now been selected to train with the best this country has to offer.

With Liam I think he has had a long tough season and this showed in his last couple of performances. The break from play and the training from the England camp may bring the best out of him and he might be refreshed enough to make an impact down under (if he is taken).

Best of luck to all of them and here is to HKR's future development of potential England prospects.

Good job Murrells not in bold aint it

Obviously i`m going to be bias!

My 17 would be

1- Widdop
2-Fox
3-Atkins
4-Shenton
5-T.Briscoe
6-S.Tomkins
7-Myler
8-Morley
9-Roby
10-Peacock
11-Ellis
12-J.Tomkins
13-Burgess

14-Sinfield
15-Crabtree
16-Graham
17-Moore

Peacock won't be available, unfortunately. Still the pack isn't the problem really.

Fox is the only one with a realistic chance of going but it's still a great achievement for the other two.

Fox has done really well to rightly force his way back into contention. Watts has had a tremendous season and has definitely got the potential to be a future England International if he can keep up the progress seen this season. I don't think Murrell will ever play for England but it's a massive pat on the back for The Drighlington Dynamo to get into the train on squad.

Richly deserved , especially pleased for Scott after the way Justin messed him about at the start of the year...really changed our season when he realised the error of his ways..be interesting to see what shirt Scott gets next year..

I think you'll find that was Clint Newton's fault Lazzington.

As a member of the "senior group" he will have had his say......

You are really pushing this one, has anyone else used it yet?

No.

Good campaign this.

TBH the only one I would take is Watts, he would benefit from the experiernce as he is likely to be a future test player. Scotty isn't an international and Fox is poor defensively and will get shown up against the Aussies IMO, but he is no worse than some on the list, we are very weak in the back division compared to Aus and NZ

Tompkins has to play at full-back IMO and with Widdop in there, there's no real need for Briscoe.

Watts will probably just be in there for the experience at this point.

However, I do feel there is a chance Murrell may actually get a shot because I think Sinfield will be used as a hooker again, Tompkins will be used as a full-back, O'Loughlin may (possibly) be used as a centre and also the number of injuries to half-backs i.e. Eastmond, Pryce, McGuire all out. McNamara may put Scotty in at loose-man and use him as a kicker cos we can't go on playing the Aussies & NZ without having someone in with a decent kicking game...

Murrell won't be on the plane. Scott is a great clubman, and has comfortably stepped up to SL level since our promotion. However, his lack of any pace whatsoever will prevent him gaining international honours.

Doesn't make him a poor player, he just doesn't warrant selection for the national team.

Hasn't stopped Paul Deacon representing his country 14 times.

agreed, i hope he does make the plane but just cant see it

Thought Watts was out for the season with a knee injury ?

Anyways good luck to him , has the potential to go very far

Welham unlucky not to be in there too?

No.

Very unlucky, but then the less informed were posting Murrell had no chance of an England call up as late as last season.

Bertie you cant honestly think Welham should be called up, surely?

If we need to improve anywere for next season now, i think its his position!

Absolutely.., every coach in the league knows Rovers major weakness, we will not seriously challenge until we have more quality in the backs...

I think Sam will play in the halves as we have so many injuries there currently and that will allow Widdop to play fulback. That might have been different had McGuire and Eastmond been fit.

I can't see Murrell getting in the 17, backrow will probably be Ellis, Burgess and O'Loughlin with Sinfield possibly playing in the halves.

I think Fox will miss out too, Hall and Briscoe will probably start an I agree that Watts is probably there for the experience.

Sorry but even as the most loyal of KR fans I can't see any reason to include Briscoe. He's been very inconsistent all year and has cost us quite a few points. If last year was a 9/10 this year he's been 5/10. Very average indeed.
