Just wondering what kind of squad people would want to see, if they were to bear in mind that we ideally want to build for next years World Cup.

Based on current form who would you have and why?

My own opionion is too bring through some of the younger players and replace some of the oldies. Peacock and Morley Id have as trainers/advisors but not players.

Thoughts?

Firstly I'd have players playing in their natural positions. None of this Loose Forward playing at Scrum Half, and Stand Off playing on the Wing business we've sadly become accustomed to.

Agreed.

Also for got to mention originally, how many people would have Chase, or would rather have a younger "more British" option if they have one in mind?

People may disagree but I feel Leon Pryce will play himself into the squad.

My current team would be....

Tomkins
Briscoe
Watkins/Goulding/Atkins/Bridge
Reed
Hall
Widdopp
Brough
Graham
Roby
Burgess
Hock/Westwood
Ellis
Lockers

Westwood/Hock
Mossop
McIlorum/Houghton/Burrow/Sinfield
Morley/Peacock

Pretty similar to this. IF Watkins can manage to get himself fit for the rest of the season would have him at centre, would have Charnley over Briscoe on the wing as well.
As for the forwards would possibly have Burgess at 13 and think Burrow should definately be on the bench as an impact player.
This is obviously without injuries.

One big positive at the moment is that it is hard to choose 2 wingers, because we have a few good ones!! Complete opposite of our usual position. Hall, you would imagine, is nailed on for 1 wing. He has all the attributes of a good winger and has a decent amount of size and power, add that to an amazing 4 nations last year and, barring injury, he has to play. The other wing is, for me, between Charnley and Briscoe. Both are young and both are great players with potential to get even better. I couldn't pick between them at the moment but they both deserve a shot at international level. Be interesting who McNamara goes with against the Exiles. I'd go with Hall and Charnley at the moment.

Tomkins
Hall
Reed
Watkins
Charnley
Chase
Brough
Graham
Roby
Peacock
Ellis
Burgess
O'Loughlin

Clark/Houghton
Mossop
Westwood
Morley

Apart from Peacock who will get in on the basis of being captain, that's probably the best team you could pick from what's available. Especially if you let them play a free flowing style instead of McNamara's usual boring one man bump.

Typical Rl fans picking players and giving no consideration to how the team will play.

To beat the Aussies you need to be able to break down their defence. This is done by either indavidual brilliance or kicking. Youneed a mix of players to do this. We have a great pack but all that can do is match the Aussies it is in the halves and the backs we have to compete.

My team would be

Tomkins
Hall
Watkins
Reed
Briscoe

Brough
Widdop


Graham
Roby
Peacock
Ellis
Burgess
Sinfield

Robinson / Burrows
Hock
Westwood
Crabtree

Two great kickers one left and one right, wingers that can catch and score tries. Strong centres. Powerful pack and 80 minute hooker with an interchange who can change a game in an instant.

A powerful hardworking bench with IMPACT who both can offload and let the halves hooker make some breaks

No Lockers? Glad you are not England coach. He is the player all the coaches pick out in super league as Wigans main man. He is awesome. Playing Sinfield is just suicide at 13.

The team I picked consists of Brough, Tomkins, Widdop and Roby who all have a good long kicking game along with Lockers who has a great short kicking game.

Sinfield is a better attacking player than O'Loughlin and i would argue that his kicking game is as good as Broughs. His pin point accuracyb with kicks would be crucial to beating Australia.

O'Loughlin would get in any SL team and is good enough to play in the tournament BUT Sinfield offers more attacking options.

I would ideally like to see:

1. Tomkins
2. Charnley
3. Watkins
4. Reed
5. Hall
6. Widdop
7. Lomax
8. Graham
9. Roby
10. Burgess
11. Ellis
12. Wilkin
13. O'Loughlin

14. Tickle
15. Lynch
16. Mossop
17. Patrick

Fully agree its about time to ditch some of the old guard and bring in a lot more youngsters, I would also like to see players like Tickle and Lynch who have been overlooked in recent years given a chance to see what they can do.
