Ah yes, I'm thinking of Skandalis for some reason. To be honest I normally just assume all are Ausises are from West Tigers

Griffin, Crabtree, Wild and Raleigh should all be in with a shout.

Hodgson is easily as good as Gardener

Lawrence would be good young bet for a bit of experience

Robinson would also be worth a shout if England had a world class SO to play with him. But as we dont he is not as good as Burrow. But there have not been many British no 7s as good as him this season.

When he was first at Wigan I thought he was going to big. However he lost it a bit, other players just didn't seem to know what he was doing. Good to see him coming good.

Stephen Wild must be looking good for a shot based on previous years. Is Kevin Brown out the question? Must admit I've not seen much of Hudds this year so I haven't a clue.

Surely you're not accusing Albert of not knowing what he's talking about?

if the England team were somehow picked on form we would probably have 3 or 4 in there - David Hodgson, Eorl Crabtree, Luke Robinson and Andy Raleigh for a start with people like Lawrence, Griffin and Wild not far off...................BUT the team aint picked on form and the chances are not one Giants player will feature

Edited for accuracy.

I've always liked Stephen Wild, and I think he must be in with some sort of a shout for a call-up in June.

Ooops....



Brad has been injured so much, and I have seen so little of him, I thought he must still be writhing in agony at a hospital at Huddersfield.

We're writhing in agony at your posts.

I guess that's why so many people are reading them and posting varied comments, not necessarily unpleasant, in response to them.

But let's try to stick to the topic, rather than feeble attempts at humour old chappie.

No doubt we will have a number who make the train on squad and then are cut before the final 17 who will be nearly all made up from Leeds and Saints, oh and now Warrington.

Seriously though. Crabtree would certainly give the opposition something to think about. Wild is as hard a worker as anyone in Super League and has more pace than most back rowers. Hodgson is scoring plenty of tries. Raleigh is as tough as they come and plenty of others are as good as the current internationals.
