| Who should be 1st choice Full Back for England in the World Cup this winter?
Zak Hardaker
Positives - probably the form full back in Super League, defensively very capable, already has a good relationship with Luke Gale who is likely to be no. 7.
Negatives - has looked out of his depth internationally before, was very easily shut down in attack by New Zealand's fringe defenders a couple of years ago.
Sam Tomkins
Positives - arguably world class in the past, possesses international-quality skills in attack, experience of playing full-back at the highest level in the NRL.
Negatives - a shadow of his former self since returning to SL, no longer appears to be a running threat with the ball in hand, looks to have lost pace.
Stefan Ratchford
Positives - a running threat with the ball in hand, strong attack particularly when running from dummy half.
Negatives - question marks over his defensive abilities at full back, possibly too big a step up at international to be effective.
Jamie Shaul
Positives - pace, probably the best returner of the ball in SL.
Negatives - liable to mistakes in defence, no experience at this level.
Any others worth mentioning?
I would have been interested to see Eden given a run at full back in a warm-up game but he may miss it with injury now.

Both have done OK, but Joseph Greenwood has performed better of the two.

| Greenwood is in a much better team. IMO Wardle has done pretty well as a jack of all trades for a really poor Knights team. Greenwood can bet targeted in defence as he struggles laterally (how often is that said about our better forwards??), but is very strong when players run at him.

You'd choose an Auzzie over an Englishman. Are you Wayne Bennet?

| Dunno may be he is as shocked as I am that an eligible Aussie hasn't been picked by Bennet.

I'm not sure. I'd probably pick Sam Burgess over Barry Humphries.
