Agree with that.

Crabtree brings plenty to the table at international level because he's pretty unique.

Mossop should be a walk in though. He's been our best prop this season and after Graham the best in the league.

Andy Lynch has been better than Mossop in 2011 IMO, with a terrible team around him.

Good player Lynch, would be a decent addition.

But your talking about another player who will be 32 by the time we start the Internationals in October/November.


We need to be looking forward to the 2013 World Cup. Lynch will then be 34.

Why do we? Winds me up this building for the future lark - this is England in the 2011 Four Nations; you pick your best squad/team and try to win the competition.

We're so far removed from a likely trophy at international level, I think you've got to play your best squad, regardless of age. The knights are there for the up and coming players. Besides, there's no reason a prop wont still be going strong at 34?

I agree.

No need to worry about Lynch, Peacock will still be trundling up the middle with Morley.

Age shouldn't come into it, if that's being young or old. If the player is playing well then he should play.

It's ok saying we should be building fir the future but who knows what 2013 brings as it's years off.

IMO he should pick a team that he feels can beat the Aussies and kiwis no matter about age.

That's where the problem lies.

To be fair to the idiot in charge of our national team,it's pretty tough picking a team good enough to best the Aussies and kiwis when our team virtually picks it's self.

At the end of the day we just ain't good enough.
