Ryan Hall would be in the starting England side without a doubt if he was fit

He isn’t a Leeds player anymore. Although I don’t think he should be ahead of the others anyway.

Irrespective of the actual cut off point of Ryan Hall's contract at Leeds (supposed to be in November?) do you not thing that he would have been an automatic starter for England v Kiwis if he had been fit?
Because I certainly do
If not who would "these other's" be as his replacement against the Kiwis if you picked the side?

Oh I do think he would be picked, I just don’t think he should be. Makinson is far better and more deserving of the pick.

| Hall is still a top class winger, it will be like christmas every week for him next year playing in that Roosters team as opposed to what he has had here in recent times.

he is right you are wrong, makinson is a good player, but is not and never will be in the same class as Ryan hall this version 2015 version 2012 version 2008 version. if hall was fit he would be playing and be first choice winger.
add a fit Watkins to England squad aswell, and i think Briscoe is unlucky not to be a recall, been one of the best wingers in league this year in a poor performing team.

And again, IMO you are wrong too. He hasn't been as good as Makinson for last two years. Makinson may well never be as good as Ryan Hal at his peak, but he is a damn site better player over last two seasons.
I didn't doubt he would be picked, I said he shouldn't be, over that player.

Is there a third Briscoe brother parading around SL who has gone under my radar?

and again you are wrong he is still a better player and if fit should be picked over Makinson, makinson may well get the other wing spot over mcgilvery but hall. should and would have got the other.

| Makinson, Johnstone and the other contenders for the wing spots have still to prove themselves as international wings against the big two and its a hell of a big step to make. Its one thing running in 30 tries against SL oppo and an entirely different proposition when you step to that level and the space and chances are drastically reduced. You may only get one half chance a match and are also expected to be solid in all defensive aspects as well as aiding your pack bringing the ball back. It wasn't that long ago Charnley was ripping up SL, got his chance and looked woefully short at the highest level.
For me, if fit JM and RH are still clear picks for the wings for England although it's nice to have others chomping at the bit.
