Now we have the England team announced, you can in theory pick the team to play in this game. Sinfield and Leuluai have both put their hand up to play. Hardaker, Watkins, Hall in the England squad. Peacock retired. JJB, Sutcliffe, Aiton, Ward miss the game through injury.

Golding
Briscoe Ablett Moon Handley
Sinfield McGuire
Garbutt Burrow Cuthbertson
Keinhorst Delaney
Singleton

Lilley Achurch Leuluai Walters

Why isn't Peacock making himself available?

Er maybe cos hes retired?

[iEdited to remove drunken ramblings[/i

So has Leuluai and Sinfield.

I thought I heard at the Saints game that all 3 would be playing v NZ, could be wrong though.

Might as well get a look at Baldwinson in this game, assuming he's eligible.

By the looks of Twitter, Peacock is heading off to Las Vegas for a well earned break. Will only just be back in time to attend the game but not compete in it.

TBH if he wants his final moments as a player to be those on Saturday then who could argue with that. Likewise upon hearing the health issues around Leuluai I wouldn't mind if he decided that Saturday was a suitable swansong.

One note on Peacock.

The final 3 games the top tackler in each match for BOTH sides

Vs Hudds - Peacock = 50
Vs Saints - Peacock = 50
Vs Wigan - Peacock = 48

What a legend.

Briscoe was in a Moon boot yesterday at the Arena so he may be very doubtful.

Doubt he would be, aren't we past the registration deadline for this season even if his Featherstone contract has expired?

Would that be an issue in a club vs country 'friendly'?

I'd go with:

1. Golding
2. Briscoe/Handley
3. Ablett
4. Moon/Keinhorst
5. Handley/Moon

6. Sinfield
7. McGuire

8. Singleton
9. Burrow
10. Garbutt
11. Keinhorst/Achurch
12. Delaney
13. Cuthburtson

14. Aiton
15. Mulhern
16. Walters
17. Achurch/Baldwinson

Imagine so, he'd still need to be contracted to and registered with Leeds in order to be able to play even if it's just from the perspective of things like insurance.
