Hall
Makinson
Charnley

In my opinion Charnley and Burgess are the most gifted wingers in the league. May be a little too soon for Burgess to claim a starting spot.

would take Hall, Charnley and Burgess.

My back line would be

Hardaker
Charnley
Shenton/Reed
Watkins
Hall
Tomkins
Widdop

Hall Charnley and Makinson this time round.

Burgess has massive potential but lacks the experience having played just over 20 games for Wigan and being in his first senior season.


Tom Briscoe is big and strong but he just does not score enough trys for my mind, and ultimately that's what a wingers job is to do. Wello has scored more trys than him this season.

With regard to Makinson there is also the added bonus he can cover fullback.
However on that basis we may find only two wingers being selected with Hardaker coming in as backup fullback and backup wing.

Makinson, Charnley & Burgess.
Hall and the rest of the Leeds players are so out of form it's untrue. Lost their last 6 League games. Wouldn't pick Hall nor anyone else from Leeds. Form players have to be picked for Internationals.
My Back Line,
Tomkins, Charnley, Bridge, Shenton, Makinson,
Widdop, Smith.

Never buy in to the theory that you should pick an international side on form alone. Big players stand up when it matters most and Hall has done that time and again for England. He's the biggest certainty in the team for me.

Talking of form somebody like Shenton shouldn't be in. He like Cas has tailed off at the back end of the season. I'm not convinced he's good enough anyway and he'd be behind Watkins, Bridge and Hardaker (a lad I'd pick in the centres) in my selection.
