So rhinoms you got any thoughts or feelings on who should be playing tomorrow?

Has he?

OMG things are bad.

You asked if he had been the form 7 for the year, over Burrow and Brough. He has been the better 7, with only Dobson having as equally good year, who coincidentally also let his form drop at the back end.

I dont dissagree with you on Senior or Gilmour. And I made my feelings known earlier in thread that I thought Pryce should have been one of the centres.

But you talked about form, which although not my over riding criteria in picking international teams appeared to be yours. And on that basis you could not argue with Myler and Shenton.

No JJB or Burrow???

Wunt have Gilmour anywhere near it - Westwood offers enough moronicism for our England team. Surely that would be taking a huge step back? What about Paul Johnson as utility man on the bench??

So in Burrows case we dismiss the last 3 months then??
Plus i take "on form" to mean at least the last 6wks or so not april and on that criteria Myler and Shenton don't warrant a starting place imo.
I don't see how you can say to a player it's ok if you've not played or have been average for 3mths you are still starting
We might aswell get fielden in there then because i can remember when he was on form.

You should be drug tested!!

C'mon then "uber coach" lets hear your wisdom!!
P.s Don't forget you are way down with damo in the credabillity stakes!!

There's a lot of merit in what you say in this post and I agree that Owen has to be a future England full back. But in reality that team isn't massively different from the one that will be playing on Saturday.

Smith
Hall
Senior
Price
Fox
Tompkins
Eastmond
Morley
Diskin
Graham
Peacock
Ellis
Burgess

Roby
McGuire
Bailey
Carvell.

Bench too light. No such player as price. Bailey

Brough isn't eligable. Shenton is the form centre in SL after Senior (who's 33 by the way). I don't agree with Myler's selection over Burrow's but I can understand it. ATEOTD barring the odd selection Smith has picked the best squad he can with the players he has available. I think Smith knows that England arn't in a position to win any tournament and he probably sees it as his job to try a build a side capable of winning major tournements in the future. Why can't people just give the guy a chance.

Is this the same Diskin you've dismissed as past it and cr#p all year???
Re-Eastmond how many games has he started at 7 at SL level and excelled in? so i don't agree he should start at 7 for england
I actually think Smith at FB is good call btw
As for Fox,Briscoe "outplayed" him imo and rightly should start.
Again there is an issue with Pryce many fans bang on about him whilst many others myself included don't think he cuts it anymore and hasn't for at laest 2 seasons.
Not a bad squad given who's available but i'd like to hear yer counter reasons other than "you should be drug tested"
