Does KPP really deserve selection over someone like Mike Mcmeekan at this current stage ?

No, on current ability, of course he wouldn't get in an England squad. He's playing centre now so perhaps in for that position anyway, but it's his potential that gets him there. He's there to benefit from being around the camp which will make his integration later on easier. The same goes for the likes of Dodd and Welsby too.

Knowles isnt as good as Whitehead,suppose as a sub he could help.

Leeming is playing well but this is early days and I am sure things will change over the next few months regarding who gets picked for the world cup.
Bateman and Farrell are also better than Knowles.

He wouldn’t walk in to St Helens team. He wouldn’t even make the match day squad. Granted he would walk into Hull kr or Wakefield’s squad but that’s about it

You missed a couple. Or is just the (clearly humourous) one I posted that counts? Seems a bit of an overreaction.

Thanks wanderer,did apologise for the post.

Not by me, but when you question some ones mental capabilities surely you could understand the reaction.of which I apologised in minutes.

You really are a balanced poster, aren't you? One good game? How does 108 metres and 37 tackles against Leeds or 112 metres and 36 tackles against Toulouse (in what was a very lacklustre team performance) fit into your somewhat biased scenario? Out of the 4 rounds played so far he has topped 100 metres and 30 tackles in 3 of them.

My word! Just think how good he'll be when he actually regains form.

No point in the England squad being named, international rl is pathetic.

I agree, he was bad last year but the whole team was too, class is permanent form is temporary. If he can regain his form this year I think he is one of the players the Australian based players will not want to face.

I would like to to see both Currie and Bateman in the second row for the world cup, both have started the season well and will both be trying to get the nod so hopefully will play consistently well all season. I do think they're both the best second rows England can call up. But s
