Eden is suspect defensively, so Hall gets it because of the way international RL is played.

Well its safe to say none of the Aussies will run around Ryan Hall...it'll take too much time.

Alternative line up

Widdop
Burgess
Curry
Percival
McGillivery
Williams
Gale
Graham
McIllorum
G Burgess
Whitehead
S Burgess
O'Loughlin

Clarke
McMeekin
Hill
Watts

Cas fans wont be happy with that. No McShane or Eden or Hardaker (although I'd have Hardaker in)

Currie at centre? Not saying the lad can't play there because I believe he has and done well but after a year out and facing Middle 8's opposition now it'd be a big ask to take him at all let alone at centre against Aussies and Kiwis.

Some diabolical spelling on offer.

Currie is injured again as well.

So if you really think going with a second-rower at centre is a good idea, you might as well go with Bateman, who's played there before at international level (and done OK). But I'd have Shenton at centre for sure.

Hall has missed 20 tackles compared to Eden's 9.
This idea that Hall's kick returns are better is also a fallacy. Hall may be stronger in contact, but Eden's pace gets him further forward before contact.

Indeed. Completely mis-spelt Hardaker, Eden and Shenton.

If Morgan Escare had not been injured he would have still been the Wigan full back and Samuel Tomkins.would have been sitting on the sideline, or injected into the team as a backup in the halves. Given the fact that he is now inferior to the French custodian, Samuel Tomkins should not be considered for the England team.

Zachary Hardaker is the sensible choice for full back with Gareth Widdop partnering either Lucas Gale or George Williams in the halves.
