Bit predictable but plays the basics well and got quite good D.

| At international level you should have a hell of a lot more than 'does the basics well'

But Steve Mac played him completely differently - in every which way - to the way Kevin plays at the Giants. This is why Nathan Brown recently said that he hopes mac will select players and play to their strengths (not jerk them around). sadly we already have mac prattling on about brough's flamboyance That is the wrong focus. The essence is not to have brough 'showboating' it is clinically using his skills to wear down the opposition.
if K Brown were allowed to play for England in the way he does at the Giants then we would get much more out of the 'strike capability' of players like Ellis Burgess (Hock?) - this is somewhere where we might actually hurt the oz / kiwi teams.

| McBanana was a comedy appointment by the RFL and his selection only confirms the point.
JJB - WTF?
Wilkin and Atkins - Not International quality
NO recognised stand off?
NO Yeaman
Martin Gleeson is still a better centre than any of the one's selected.
We're going to get dicked if that Exiles team turns up 25% interested.

| Thats tosh and you need to read League express less.
A halfback that can't kick properly, put players into holes and doesn't have the vision to pick the right option runner isn't being stifled by his coach.

Brown is one of the best players in SL re pass selection and execution so you must be refering to someone else......
You have provided an excellent description of Myler. You have a point.

he wasn't good i agree, but to be fair he didn't play the way he plays for us,he played a different game to his club game which was the coach's doing.
it's no good picking players on their club form then asking them to a completely different job for the national side,it's never worked that way.
but kev brown is still a very good stand off and had he been asked to partner brough and do the job they do at club level then it could have paid dividends.

Im guessing last years internationals were too early in the morning for you to set the alarm. Like I said, decent SL player but got shown up badly with less time and space last autumn

| The World Cup is obviously the aim, but i think we need to win a four nations tournament to stand a chance in a WC. The chances of winning a WC after years of not winning an international tournament are remote. Winning an international tournament will give the England team the belief that NZ/OZ are beatable. I believe NZ'S 2005 tri-nations success helped them win the WC, bevause they knew OZ were beatable. So Mcnamara has to choose the squad to win here and now. So if a 33 y/o is playing better than his 20 y/o counter part, then Mcnamara should play the 33 y/o. Last year i felt we took to many young players and it showed.
HOWEVER the squad Mcnamara has chosen is a joke because the "experienced" players he has chosen aren't in form. Has he been watching a different JJB to me? Lee Gilmour has been excellent this season (again), he proved himself at international level (unlike many of the others selected) yet he doesn't seem to get picked becase of his age. Then we go pick Wilkin and JJB who are only a couple years younger, but aren't in any form and have been tonked in test matches. Think the Exiles could be comfortable winners in this.

JJB has been excellent for the last 2 months. Probably one of the few Leeds players who deserves consideration.

| 'Myler - he's not a 6'
With most teams opting for an extra middle player & using 6 & 7 as first recievers lhs / rhs with the fullback doubling up as 2nd reciever down both sides - please tell me why Myler couldn't play 6?

Keep guessing. You need to as your knowledge base seems very low.
Sadly your ignorance about how mac played kevin brown vs Nathan brown's approach is clear for all to see.
Your description of Myler was spot on.
