Spot on. Gentle on radio after the game as good as said he would try to discourage England and hoped they would feature for the knights instead. Throwing them in too early would stunt there development IMO .

Still hurting?

I guess that makes you a master baiter.

Posters whose idiocy is exposed always resort to pretending that they were fishing. Funny that.

The overrated Yeaman must not wear an England shirt because of his selfish actions last night...it's because he's simply not good enough.

If he was a top player he wouldn't be playing for the Hull FC's of this world, now would he.

Too obvious, Brucey.

Agreed on every point.

When Yeaman was selected for representative honours in the past, it was always because of his defence. Nobody ever suggested that he was a brilliant attacking centre in the mould of Kallum Watkins. But now his real liabilities in attack have been exposed, his defence is not enough to compensate.

Michael Shenton also was always getting picked for rep games largely because of his defensive skills. But I don't recall him ever doing something in attack as appallingly selfish as what Yeaman did.

When Yeaman was selected for international honours he deserved it but there are now plenty in front of him including Crooks from his own team, As a rovers fan I am happy to recomend Houghton for the hooking place as I think he is simply the best in super league, Josh Hodgson would be a good back up if he was injured as would two or three others.

People seem to have forgotten that James Roby exists because he's been out injured. Roby is pretty much the first name on the team sheet when fit.

Probably, but as I saints fan I have to say that I think Houghton is a wonderful player as would be my next choice for that shirt.

Lunt's better than Houghton IMO

I'm not sure how you can say one is better than the other, they both are very good SL hookers who bring different qualities.

Roby is the best English hooker and should be one of the first names in the team, but I'd love to see us try Houghton or Lunt in the exiles game maybe. Those three hookers are above every other in the league and it is great to have some competition there. I'm still not convinced over McIlourm tbh.

Hodgson is better than both of them.

I'd definitely go with Houghton or Lunt for the Exiles game, maybe even both interchanging. Roby is still in front of both of these IMO but wouldn't play him in this game having just come back from injury.
