| Quote whiston_warrior="whiston_warrior"Clark and Roby are too similar, they only thrive on quick ptb's which we won't be getting too much of. Mcilorum has to start for me to soften their forwards up then it's either Clark or Roby off the bench.
We've also spent far too many years playing people out of position so Tomkins should play full back.
How anyone can pick Briscoe or Makinson over Charnley is beyond me, look how many tries Josh has scored compared to the games played. Last year everyone wanted Briscoe in because he only didn't score much because Hull were rubbish, what's the excuse this year?

We're all a bit biased in favour of our own players, but this is on another level. Nice one.

When is the last time you watched that game?
Two tries in about 8 minutes were scored down Shenton's side just before he got injured. The flood of points had already started, and yes, it continued after he went off.
If Shenton plays this year, he'll also have Konrad Hurrell to worry about now.

Could there be a case made to put Ablett there, purely to avoid any of our other centres getting trampled to death by Inglis and Hurrell?

Not if your half backs are defending the centre channel, which is oft the case.

| While Tompkins and Widdopp look good on paper, I'd really worry about kicking (short and long).
For that reason I'd have Smith in the team.

I fail to see how I've been anymore biased than anyone else.
People don't like Mcilorum fine, I do.
Maybe some people like other players over Faz, I don't. Other than that I don't see any bias.

Cooper looks a decent player this year but not sure he's good enough to be named twice.  A little bit of Wigan favouritism in there but still an excellent team if you stick in Hill and someone else for the Cooper twins.

I don't know. That could be seen as a negative tactic, but defence does win big games.
Listening to reports, I now very much doubt if Inglis will play in the Four Nations. It sounds like he's playing through a painful hip injury for Souths.

| Watkins did fine defending against Inglis last year. You can't start picking backs because of their defence. Shenton deserves another crack, he's solid in every area and has had a great season.
