go on then who would you have picked that is eligible that has these all round skills to play at that level?

If you say Brough, what are you basing it on?

Its a good option but Sinfield has probably been the best pressure goal kicker this season. Who do you go for as goal kicker with him in the bench? Westwood or Widdop?

With that bench, Sinfield would probably have to play a bit of hooker. His 3rd choice position? We might come unstuck there.

I wish we would give a young prop a go. Peacock and Morley can't play forever. No idea why Bailey is in the squad and Mossop isn't.

Agree with most of this. But there has been plenty of failures at this level so who would we pick? It is obvious he has gone for form over players who have the correct skill set at the top level. Would have liked to have seen some form players in alongside players who have the skills that carry over to internationals.

Chase as much as i dont like him being eligable for Eng is a good passer and positional kicker along with that real flair. Brough is a intelligent distributor, quick ball runner along with one of the best positional kicking games in the league. I have watched him for his 3 years at Trinity beat teams with his length of kick out of the hand. This continually turned teams around into their own corner flags. Many of our young halves are good ball runners/support players only. This does not cross over to the internationals as we have seen for years.

Mossop before Bailey, hell I pick LMS, Prescott, Scott Taylor or Liam Watts ahead of Bailey
Brough over McGuire
Atkins over Ablet
McGilivray ahead of BJB
Harrison before Wilkin
If we are picking NZ players for England then Manu over JJB
Westerman not Sinfield as we are better going for a running back rower ahead of an organiser just as Aus (Gallen)& NZ (Blair) do

Whilst I think that Bailey has been playing well, I agree that Mossop should be there above him, and possibly LMS too. I'm also unsure about having both Morley AND Peacock, as they're both getting on and I think we should be blooding some youngsters.
I'd have Brough in over McGuire, mainly as I think he's a better kicker, although I see imagine the starting halves to be Widdop and Chase.
Is Luke Robinson injured or something? I'm a fan of his and thought that he was very impressive in the 4-nations last year.

Cracking point there. Why has Willie Manu not been picked?

...and five Grand Final winners rings!

McGuire was head and shoulders the best 6 in Super League in 2010 before his injury at Wigan and Sam only ended up getting in the dream team ahead of him at 6 because of the dream team selection rules that meant he could not be selected at full-back.

In 2011 McGuire is still some way off what I think was his best ever personal form season in 2010, and think that both Chase (leaving out any argument of eligibility) and Lomax was the correct choice ahead of McGuire, but with Lomax injured then he certainly is the right choice ahead of Brough, who is in poor form.

Brough I agree with.
Atkins apparently asked not to be picked.
I'd have Charnley above both.
Agree about Harrison.
Since when was Willie Manu from New Zealand?
Year too early for Westerman I feel.

Broughs form hasn't been good enough! All England fans have asked for is players on form of late, you've got it in this squad yet we still can't win in the minds of some.

Basically, a fan of club X will ask for player Z from club X to be in over any other.

On that form, I say Diskin, Donaldson, Hargreaves, Scruton, Burgess and Whitehead in over them all!

OK if we're being pedantic Tongan

FWIW Heighington is an 80-minute player, not a bench option.

Regardless of who is picked, I hope we see more players stand up to be counted - i.e. show what they are capable of. Too many of our SL 'stars' seem to disappear completely against the Aussies in particular.
