As a starting side, and considering the backs are considered our weak area, I don't think that's a bad side whatsoever and should certainly be competitive on home soil. In reality, we need to lift for 2 games max. and that's achievable from my point of view.

Injuries can happen, people can impress before then but:

FB: Tomkins, Hardaker
W: Hall, Charnley, Briscoe
C: Watkins, Reed, Atkins
SO: Chase, Widdop
SH: Sinfield, Brough
P: Crabtree, Graham, Burgess, Lynch, Hill
H: Roby, Clark
SR: Ellis, Westwood, Hock,Harrison
LF: O'Loughlin

You cannot have Hock and Westwood in the same 17.

I say that as someone who likes both players and would love to have either at the GIants BUT you cannot have the number of penalties those two give away and win against NZ or Australia.

Under this criteria, why not include Sinfield. I was shocked when I looked up the stats that he had conceded one less than Hock and one more than Westwood last season.

Difference is that Sinfield is intelligent and controls his actions when he needs to.

Many of Sinfields penalties were deliberate slowing things down and backchat to refs when he needed to.

Westwood and Hock are so thick they cannot control their primeval urges on the pitch any more than a couple of gorillas. ( and i say that as an admirer of both players).
