Which Valvoline cup side if you don't mind me asking, was it recently?Are you involved with Halifax?

I am a Halifax fan but not involved with them in any other way. I coached Salford U20s for 4 games in the Valvoline last season which i won 2 of the games, then i went back to coaching the U18s and we won 7 the 9 games we had left.

1. Tomkins
2. Hall
3.
4.
5. Briscoe

6.
7.

8. Graham
9. Roby
10. Burgess

11. Ellis
12.
13. O'Loughlin

These players are the only World Class players we have. The rest should be picked on form.

Agree, apart from briscoe.

I'm looking ahead and in doing so assuming the young players I have chosen continue to develop as well as they have been doing, building on their promise.

And as well, only my backline and halves are complete! I've also got a couple of forwards.

My incomplete-so-far team would be:

1 Makinson
2 Hall (although he still needs work on defence)
3 Shenton
4 Reed (question mark over his defence though)
5 Charnley/BJB (the final choice would depend on defensive capability as both are good in attack)

6 Tomkins
7 Lomax

9 Roby

The only other forward that I know I would have is Graham, with Westwood and JJB if they continue to maintain the standard they have both shown in this comp. Nobody else stands out for me, including Ellis who I don't think performs at international level. I'm not sure about Burgess. I can only remember him knocking on in Australia! I haven't seen him play since.

I would also have McShane on the bench to interchange with Roby as I think the two hookers have different but complementary styles, both of which the team could benefit from.

thankfully richard agar dint get the job or that would of happend

I would go;

1. Tomkins
2. Hall
3. Reed
4. Shenton
5. Briscoe
6. Widdup
7. Lomax
8. Graham
9. Roby
10. Peacock
11. Ellis
12. Burgess
13. O'Loughlin

14. Burrow
15. Morley
16. Crabtree
17. Westwood

18. Bridge
19. Pryce

1. Tomkins
2. Hall
3. Reed
4. Atkins
5. Briscoe/Charnley
6. Widdup
7. Lomax
8. Graham
9. Roby
10.Mossop
11. Ellis
12. Burgess
13. O'Loughlin

14. Burrow
15. LMS
16. Carvell
17. Westwood

I would make a case for Ben Westwood and Gareth Widdop as well.
