JJB? Seriously? There's several better English backrowers in the comp than him!
I would have gone Walmsley to add an extra big man in the squad in case one picks up a knock this week or in training the week after.

I would have said Moz is only in the squad for his influence in the dressing room as the older statesman but only having 4 props it probably means he'll get a game. He's only just returned from injury though so I don't think that's the best option we could have taken.

I'm probably in the minority that I'd still have Sinfield & Chase with Myler as backup.

My only other differences to the squad what I called this morning was I'd have Lunt over Burrow and I picked Ratchford as cover for the backs but Ferres more than deserves his call up so no argument there really.

I'd go;
Tomkins
Charnley Cudjoe Hardaker Hall
Sinfield Chase
Mossop Roby Crabtree
Ellis Westwood
O'Loughlin

Subs
Hill Morley Farrell Myler

Burrow might actually do better for England than he has for Leeds because he'll be starting on the bench which is what McDermott should've done weeks ago. JJB's problem is he's a penalty machine at the minute, but his general play is good (144m and 41 tackles against Hull), he shouldn't get in though.

Where are the the centre's? McBanana has an obsession with playing people out of position, which is completely ridiculous when we have several tried and tested English centre's playing in super league!

Apart from those that do, and enjoy it. RL fans are a bunch of miserable g!ts.

I reckon the team will be:

Tomkins
Charnley
Cudjoe
Hardaker
Hall
Sinfield
Chase
Mossop
Roby
Hill
Ellis
Westwood
Flanders

Burrow
Crabtree
Morley
Ferres

Does he? who apart from Hardaker will be playing out of position? who in last years tournament played out of position?

Can Sinfield play centre? maybe he wants to try him in that role

I find it incredible that in a meaningless friendly match he is still refusing to pick form players and give them a try, players like :

Lunt
Houghton
Kirmond
Crooks
Lineham
Ratchford
Atkins
Goulding etc
Should at least have been looked at.

What is the point of naming Roby and Ellis when they have hardly played all year and no one can get any indication of what kind of form their in.

Burrow and JJB are simply in because they play for Leeds as even their own fans have said how poor they have been, Sinfield, because he is captain and again not on form

Morley is the past, we should be looking to youth and the future now !

...a bit strange really when you consider the talent we have available that he still picks the same players regardless of how fit or how well they are playing !!

What a joke this selection is.

Roby - not been playing
JJB - seriously
Burrow - not good enough
Morley - well past it!
Chase - not exactly in brilliant form
Ellis - offers nothing in attack for me
Myler - overrated

Would have like to have seen Ben crooks given a go at centre.

Based on the announcement Id go with,

Tomkins
Charnley
Cudjoe
Hardaker
Hall
Sinfield
Myler
Crabtree
Roby
Hill
Farrell
Westwood
O'Loughlin


Chase
Ferres
Mossop
Burrow

Moz too old, hasn't played much lately, there because of who he is,
Ellis, again hasn't played much lately and there because of who he is,
JJB, love him to bits but currently behind the other back rowers in the squad.

Here's who I would like to see, without the Oz based players,

Tomkins
Charnley
Cudjoe
Watkins/Atkins
Hall
Sinfield
Myler
Crabtree
Lunt/Houghton
Hill
Farrell
Westwood
O'Loughlin

Incorrect. Been outstanding the last 6 weeks, tops the assists in SL, playing less games then some of the nearest to him.

Technically, Hardaker is playing out of position for Leeds.
