Eastmond is certainly worth a squad place. I'd probably use him from the bench as he can cover fullback, centre, and the halfback positions.

Sam Tomkins has been the form halfback this season and also should get an England game in this series.

Myler would appear to be a shoo-in for the number 7 spot - would you have Tomkins, Myler and Eastmond all in the 17?

No, but in a four game series (including Wales) I think they will all get some game time.

IMO the build up for 2013 World Cup needs to start now.

They're all a bit inexperienced, but if they're better than their more experienced competitors, why not? I'd want a fairly wise old head at 13, not necessarily Sinfield, but somebody who can be a calming influence. Ditto at 9 I guess. Roby's got a bit of experience under his belt now though.

We've been taking the safe and steady option for years. It has yielded approximately **** all. Why not take a chance now?

Wouldn't mind seeing him in the squad for the above reasons. It's also pretty likely, if he stays in league, that he'll be in the international set up in the future, so the experience would be good for him, even if he's not expected to get much game time.

icon_lol.gif Yet you believe Eastmond gets injured in 'every game' are you stupid ? Your whinge about Burrows is as funny as it gets. Rob Burrows is a very tough cookie and i dident state otherwise, yet you've whinged like a bit*h! icon_lol.gif However no matter how tough it still doesent move the fact that over that last 2 years he as been knocked out a few times.

Rob Burrows in our 4 games this season as done nothing against us with ball in hand, He as been no danger imo. He should be behind Tomkins, Myler and Easdtmond for me.

Thats my view on it, give the younger players a chance to show some of what they are capable of now at that level and then the next 4 years hopefully a team can gel together ready for the World Cup.

Eastmond defo in, with Wilkin, Roby, Graham and Moore.

No Fa'asavalu, Pryce, Wellens or Gardner from last years shambles.

Cany argue with the Saints inclusions/omissions.

Hopefully Leon sees the ommission as an insult and plays next year with a point to prove.

Do you think he'll be that bothered?

I'm glad the Saints contingent is down this year after the World Cup humiliation. I'm another one who has no qualms about the players called up.

It would be good to see all the young players have some game time in the Four Nations. I think we should treat that comp as a practice run (or one of a couple of practice runs!) for the World Cup. Since the old guard clearly isn't working, new, young hopefuls should get their chance. After seeing Eastmond perform, including the goal kicks, at the Grand Final it is clear he can take pressure, which I think is great because sometimes a guy of that age may be a bit overawed by the occasion. However, he seemed to rise to it and he played out of his skin.

I think Pryce should still be in there. OK, his form hasn't been the best but surely he is a much better option than Chris Bridge? If he does hit form, he would really worry the Aussies, i bet there ting themselves at facing Bridge. Even if he didn't get picked, he gives plenty of versatility and if he did hit form, could be devastating.

You are joking, right? After his World Cup non-appearance and having not appeared at Saints for months Pryce does not deserve to be recognised in any way at all. He should be dropped next season and someone more deserving with more commitment given a chance. But then I'd drop Meli and Gardner too along with Hargreaves, so I'd probably need to start recruiting from the terraces.

I think the players chosen from Saints are the right players to play for England. I just hope Eastmond isn't bench fodder but actually gets game time. I'm sure the others will see game time as they are more experienced and clearly Smith still holds them in some regard after the World Cup.

Pryce has been in the England / GB setup for 10 years - and never done anything of note.

On form this year he shouldnt even be in the Saints team - never mind the England team; and his performances and attitude last year in the World Cup mean that he should never be selected again.
