Quote: Eurob0y "Problem is, I think both Hock and O Loughlin are ahead of him at the moment for England places but in time, he will be twice the player O Loughlin is and on a par with Hock'"
You do O'Loughlin a disservice there. He's been very impressive for me whenever I've seen Wigan this season (in a non-spectacular way) and we know he's a player who can transfer his game to the international level.
I'd expect Clough's game to transfer in a similar manner, especially if he had another year under his belt.
Hock is a bit of an enigma, but I do believe he has the ability to trouble even the Aussies (if he's having a good day).
Westwood, I like, he always seems to make strong yards and a lot of tackles, but he does seem to give away a few too many penalties. I like aggressive forwards, but I'd have to see him play more often whether he's going towards being a liability.
From early articles, I assume that Ellis is still going well down under, and would be a automatic choice come th'end of the season.
I would want four (3 start 1 bench) out of those five to be picked if we were playing the Aussies next week.
I'd be open to any other suggestions, though, as I don't get to see every game in the league.
