Atkins hasn't been in the best form so far this season so I'm not surprised he's missed out. What does surprise me though is there's only 2 specialised centres in that list in Watkins & Cudjoe. Granted you've got the likes of Hardaker, Ratch & Ablett who can cover if required though.

Lomax is nowhere near good enough IMO. Awaiting him to tear us to pieces on Friday now...

Question is with the likes of Graham, Burgess and the rest of the NRL contingent not included here, who would you drop out of this squad (and add from the NRL boys) to make the 23 man WC squad?

Agreed. How did Sir Kev drag his side out of the battering a long with the other 8 England internationals...

When Danny Brough can lead his team from 5th in the table to win the SL title, twice, then lets start comparing.

As stated Brough is a great player and in his day can tear teams apart (when they are on the front foot that is) but to start claiming superiority after a rainy march night in headingley maybe a bit much. Sinfield had been there and fine it in the big games, Brough hasn't even been there, and in his one game for England he was outplayed.

You mean like every other england player was that day

and like Sinfield has been in every international he has played in at 6

Nobody has. He got knocked out halfway through the week 2 game at Cas and then broke his thumb in the week 3 game against Salford. It's good that we have a few good FBs around though when in previous years we have struggled to get 1.

...has won a Challenge cup, just thought I'd finish your sentence for you
