Quote Conorgiantsfan="Conorgiantsfan"Brown is one of the Best Five Eighths in the world, who do we get in the England team? Sean O'Loughlin.'"
Danny Mcguire, Leon Pryce or Kevin Sinfield will play stand off before O'loughlin. Mainly because O'loughlin is much better in the second row or in his actual position of loose forward.
Im not sure we need 3 specialist stand offs in the squad, especially when we have 3 (O'loughlin, Sinfield and Wilkin) who can fill in in an emergency.
Thats the likely reason Brown wasnt picked, because Mcguire and Pryce are better and we dont need 3 specialists and another 3 to cover.
