Quote: Brick with eyes "In his post match interview he said very little but what he did say was that James Roby was left out to give George Williams a game. That sort of says he’s reluctant to leave out Hodgson or Gale , both of whom have brought very little to the team. Roby is miles better than Hodgson and can easily play 80 minutes. Hodgson distribution is too slow. Bennett is far too obsessed with NRL players

Team should be

Widdop
McGillvary
Percival
Currie
Hall
Williams
Gale
Taylor
Roby
Graham
Burgess S ( when fit )
Bateman
O’Loughlin

Burgess T
Walmsley
Ratchford
McMeekin

Heighington brings nothing, Whitehead is a penalty machine and Hodgson overrated as is Watkins, and Hill is not the player he was

Roby is the key for England , he plays we play better ! However , Bennett will stick to his NRL favourites'"


Percival would get absolutely Annihilated against Australia or New Zealand
Bateman simply isn't big enough to play international rugby in the back row,that is why he was picked to play as a centre
Ratchford would have to defend somewhere really safe on the field because he's a traffic warden defensiveley,where would you put him so that he was not exposed?

Good to see Taylor and McMeeken get a chance.

He dropped Roby vs Lebanon because he wanted to see what Williams could do but now picks Brown ahead of Williams in this??? Daft.

Has Ratchford ever played wing before?

Maybe not. But Bennett is probably seeing how Ratchford performs there in case McGillvary is suspended by the judiciary.

Williams was man of the match verses Scotland last year then got dropped to the bench for the Aussie game. He came off the bench for 30 mins in that game and played a blinder. His reward since has been 20 mins against Lebanon and Kevin Brown now getting a start above him.

I'm only surprised he's not stuck Heighington on the bench in front of him.

Quote: easyWire "I’m no fan of McNamara, but to be fair to him he got the best out of the England players at this level. Bennett’s coaching record is not in question, but maybe he just can’t coach an English team with backgrounds in this league. Probably why he picks NRL players over talented SL players, he can get them to execute his game plan better.'"


I think having any coach who is not based here is a problem. How can you really get a real feel of players when you are based in Australia. Great coach yes but not right fit for England.

Picking Kevin brown in front of Williams is embarrassing! Sorry but that stinks of Dennis betts input. Bennett obviously hasn't watched any Warrington games this season.

Brown had one great game vs Brisbane and that was it

If Bennett gets you through to the final he will have a game plan he has been working on for a long time, and it will all become clear after the game.
He generally wins the big games because he takes a long view and has people working on the role he wants them to play for weeks in advance, while not giving away too many clues to what his game plan will be.
As a rule, he doesn't like any low percentage/high risk plays. He hates offloads, especially compulsive offloaders. He loves old professionals who rarely take risks. If he could, he'd grind out a boring, forward dominated win every week, but if the big game comes around and he doesn't think he can win that way, he'll have some other plan that will play to your strengths in some way.

In short, he has a plan, and if you win the final, you can watch the game replay 2 or 3 times and you'll probably work out what it was.
