Obviously Hardaker is first choice at FB but Tomkins deserves a spot in the team.

His form at the Warriors hasn't been that bad in a team which performs very inconsistently. 20 years of performances speak to that. Outside the Jones era, the Warriors have been very disappointing for an area with such a rich tradition of success in rugby league.

There isn't a lack of natural centres in the squad, there's 2 and we can only pick 2 for a game.

We have a natural left and a natural right centre, Cudjoe and Watkins should play there.
Also I think playing Hall outside his team mate, albeit on the opposite side to his normal position, makes sense and it allows McGillveray to partner with Cudjoe.

Hardaker should be at full back on merit, he's earned the right!

That was based on a Giants fan saying Cudjoe isn't in the squad for some reason. Although I don't think Cudjoe has done anything to warrant selection I would play him there before Bateman or Hardaker. But it's not about what you or I would pick.

Having watched the highlights of the Eng v Fra game, and doing my best to take the French performance into account, Bateman looked awesome playing in the left centre.

He showed his trademark aggression, work rate and toughness but also had some deft subtlety to his play with pace, feints, dummy's, and good positioning allowing him to create space for his winger.

Again, opposition was poor but that left edge of Farrell, Bateman, Burgess (all Wigan) looked smoothe and slick no doubt their club familiarity with one another was an advantage.

Burgess was on the right side with Watkins but I see your point.

Widdop was involved in almost every try.

Sorry, the video was blurry so just presumed it was Burgess in his normal left wing position.
