Reed is a good player but would you agree his future is probably in the back row?

He's losing pace at a worrying rate.

Chris Heighington turned in a decent performance yesterday also, do we expect to see him in the squad? For me, he's behind Burgess, O'Loughlin, Westwood, Farrell, Hock and Ellis in the back row pecking order, but who knows with McNamara.

Also, Ben Crookes seems to be firing in the centres at the moment, has a bright future, but the WC may be a year too soon. FC fans will probably be able to towel you more on his development.

Absolutely. He's exceeded my expectations massively this year, can't believe how much he is taking it to such well drilled experienced packs week after week.

He and Graham have to be lining up on the bench for England at the moment (with Graham pulling 60+ mins from the bench like at the Dogs).

George Burgess was immense against the Cowboys. Sam was good, but George was just bowling them over.

Looking forward to seeing James Graham at 8, George at 10 and Sam hopefully at 13 in World Cup later this year.

Why would you start George?

He plays well off the bench.

When discussing the England pack I think Ferres needs to be there. He has been immense this season.

Good to see George kick on. He's also got rid of the amount of lost ball he had whilst playing for the Bears.

Tom is playing for the Bears today. Sheldon may be able to fill you in on how he plays today.

If Ben Crooks continues improving at the rate he has done over the past year then he's going to be an amazing centre. However, I do think that it'll be a year or so before he's ready to be in the internationals but he is definitely a player to watch.

Speaking of prospects coming through Hull atm then Tom Lineham deserves a mention (although York need to get credit here too). He's been better than Briscoe so far this season imo.

I am looking forward to seeing [i Luke Burgess[/i, back to last season's form on return from injury, playing in 8, [iEorl Crabtree [/iin 10, with [iJames Graham [/ireplacing Luke after 17 minutes and [iGeorge Burgess [/ireplacing Eorl after 20 minutes.

[iSam Burgess [/iwill play in 13, behind [iGareth Ellis [/iin 11 and [iBen Westwood [/iin 12, with [iGareth Hock [/i in 16 coming off the bench after 22 minutes.

That will be the best pack that England can field, and one that the Aussies will have many problems with.

Agree but apparently Jon Wilkin and JJB are better than him.
