We’re disappointed but of the two trophies on offer, we’ll put one in our cabinet this year and go chasing the other one next year." Tony Smith:17489.jpg |

I can't remember him having a bad game, or even making a bad mistake in a game, maybe he's a steady hard working prop now, but maybe we need that rather than panicking every time Carvell gets the ball, knowing we're about to lose possesion.

I support the decision to give players such as Hardaker some international experience against a 'lesser side' (I don't mean this disrespectfully, I mean it realistically as France and Wales have nothing on Aus or NZ imo), but I would have liked to have seen Danny Houghton get a callup, especially as Roby isn't selected. Houghton's been fantastic for Hull FC this year.

Probably agree with that mate, also think Houghton deserves a shout. I prefer him to McIlorum.

Don't see the point in picking Tomkins, Hall etc.
Give them an off season and a full pre-season and let them come back fresh for WC year.
On the squad itself, it's reasonably strong but still some players who have clearly got in on the team their play for. JJB & Ablett aren't international quality.
Just got the feeling that Mcnamara has decided Chase & Sinfield will be 6&7 at the WC. While Sinfield was immense against Warrington he's never really done it for England and i just think Brough/Lomax/Widdop is an exciting half back partnership. Chase & Sinfield is underwhelming.
