Milford was SOO last year before he broke the 12.00pm curfew, so highly unlikely he will be turning out for Samoa

So no George Williams then? No matter how well Widdop is playing, i like the look of Williams and Gale at 6 & 7

I don't think Super League clubs will release Samoan players. Just saying. If you're already going to lose 3, why would you sanction potentially more than that going.
Can't see Cas letting JSL, Moors or Roberts going particularly if we lose Hardaker and Gale.
SL clubs have an obligation to England - don't have an obligation to Samoa.
Also, Williams will be in the squad. And again, I can see all the NRL-based England players being included.

Probably not, certainly for England, not sure about Samoa or Tonga though, Hull let Manu and Pritchard play for Samoa last year missing the cup game at Saints.
Isn't there a rule where you can call off the game if you have 5 players missing? |

SL Clubs shouldn't have a choice, regardless of the standing of the nations.
As for that rule, hope it's poppycock. If one club is inconvenienced it shouldn't be right for that club to inconvenience another. |

| Quote Bulls Boy 2011="Bulls Boy 2011"If this is going to work on any level then both teams need to field their very best side. I might be inclined to tune in if I know full well that Samoa and England are at full strength. And for me that would be:
England
1. Zak Hardaker
2. Ryan Hall
3. Mark Percival
4. Kallum Watkins
5. Greg Eden
6. Gareth Widdop
7. Luke Gale
8. Chris Hill
9. Josh Hodgson
10. James Graham
11. Mike McMeekan
12. Elliott Whitehead
13. Sam Burgess
14. Daryl Clark
15. George Burgess
16. Scott Taylor
17. Sean O'Loughlin
I would be tempted to include Liam Farrell, Jermaine McGillvary or Ryan Atkins. But that would be my squad.
Samoa
1. Peter Mata'utia
2. Antonio Winterstein
3. Ricky Leutele
4. Joseph Leilua
5. David Nofoaluma
6. Anthony Milford
7. Fa'amanu Brown
8. Sam Kasiano
9. Kaysa Pritchard
10. Junior Paulo
11. Jesse Sene-Lefao
12. Frank Winterstein
13. Leeson Ah Mau
14. Pita Godinet
15. Junior Moors
16. Sam Tagataese
17. Sam Lisone
Could include Ben Roberts, Isaac Liu, Sia Soliola, Daniel Vidot, Mose Masoe. To me that looks like a decent game!'"
One Wiganer in that England squad. That will do me! |

1. Zak Hardaker (CAS)
2. Ryan Hall (LEE)
3. Mark Percival (STH)
4. Kallum Watkins (LEE)
5. Jermaine Mcgilvary (HUD)
6. George Williams (WIG)
7. Luke Gale (CAS)
8. Chris Hill (WAR)
9. Josh Hodgson (NRL)
10. James Graham (NRL)
11. Mike McMeekan (CAS)
12. Elliott Whitehead (NRL)
13. Sam Burgess (NRL)
14. Gareth Widdop (NRL)
15. George Burgess (NRL)
16. Scott Taylor (HFC)
17. Liam Farrell (WIG)
That's 3 Castleford, 2 Leeds, 2 Wigan, 1 Warrington, 1 Huddersfield, 1 Hull FC, 1 St Helens.
Then you'd expect reserves also. I reckon a total of 25 - 30 squad based players.
3 Castleford - Hardaker, Gale, McMeekan
3 Wigan - Williams, Farrell, Oloughlin
3 Leeds - Watkins, Hall, Ferres
3 Warrington - Hill, Clark, Cooper
2 St Helens - Percival, Smith
2 Hull FC - Taylor, Shaul
1 Huddersfield - Mcgilvary
1 Wakefield - Johnstone
NRL - Graham, Widdop, Burgess, Burgess, Burgess, Whitehead, Hodgson
If 30 (Hock, Houghton, Cudjoe, Sarginson & Roby)

Are the prop forwards in Super League so poor that the Burgess twins can warrant selection?

I think prop is a strong position - when players like Watts, Walmsley etc. are not mentioned in the post above. Watts has been better than Taylor for me this year.
