He is, would also do very well in the NRL, however Hodgson has been one of the best players in the NRL, so deserves a start, if we are to play two hookers then it's between Roby, Clarke and Houghton, the latte has outplayed the other two on every occasion this year, but think the other two maybe a better option as a bench hooker.
Sneyd isn't quite ready to play international rugby yet, still a bit inconsistent.
Taylor is an outstanding prop him and Hill are the best two props in the league and not much between them, I'd have them both in the 17 with Graham and G Burgess.
If Bennett has seen the last two Hull games, Shaul might have just blown it as he had saved his worst two games for when Bennett is watching.
