Losing Lomax and having no Walmsley is a big blow. Inclusion of McIlorum is dreadful but not a surprise. Surprised Zak is not in there, he has been very good covers multiple positions and in form

Cooper, Hill, Watkins, Sneyd & McIlorum wouldn't get any minutes for mine.

Pearce-Paul wouldn't play against Samoa either if it wasn't for Bateman's ban.

Young is probably 18th man.

This is a what I think he will pick

Tompkins
Makinson
Watkins
Farnworth
Young
Welsby
Williams
Oledski
McIlorum
Burgess
Batchelor
Whitehead
Radley

Hill
Lees
Knowles
KPP

1. Tomkins

10. Burgess
11. Whitehead
12. Bateman

14. Lees
15. Oledski
16. Radley
17. Mcmeeken, batchelor, Akers

Well, 4th place ftw lol

Pearce Paul and Williams haven`t set the world alight this year for sure.
I personally am happy with McIllouram in the team as he`s been the best hooker this season along with Ackers.
I also thought Hastings had a good season too.
Well at least it gives some of our players a longer break before pre season.

This squad is getting pumped.

Fully agree Hardaker should be in that squad

How on earth has Cooper made it, 11th placed Warrington let him go as he wasn’t good enough

Wane wouldn't pick Hardaker if he was the last player on earth.

Yes, this was blindingly obvious.
He let England down before in his reckless days which was probably still a major black mark.

But, to Wane much, much worse, was walking out on Wigan. How dare he.

Indeed. Laughable

More fool him.
