We hardly had any ball on Saturday night and guys like Gleeson, S Tomkins, Carmont etc were pretty quiet because of it.

Gleeson was as ever safe as house in defence and has been very good with ball in hand in our first 2 games when we've actually had some posession to work with.

I'd be suprised if he's not in the selection frame when the internationals come round.

As for Bridge he'll be there or thereabouts aswell i'd guess. He had Carmont at 6's and 7's on Saturday night.

Suprised me that because i've always liked Carmont but he couldn't handle Bridge on his own at all on saturday.
The other question is do you give the shirt to a 30 year old Gleeson or a guy whos about 25 in Bridge. Bridge's problem will always be his size though, classy player but 13 stone just isnt heavy enough for an international centre

I just think with internationals you've got to pick your best side regardless of age. I'm glad we had a little look at some younger players in the four nations but i'd now like to see us go back to just picking our best 17 wheather the players be young or old.

Guys like Hall, Shenton, S Tomkins, Eastmond, Crabtree etc would still be in my 17 but then i'd also bring in more experienced guys who were left out last time like Gleeson and Leon Pryce(as a utility back) back in.

Pryce should be back in but personally I wouldn't have him near the 6 shirt. He just doesn't have it at that level. I've not seen him play 1 in a long time but he would make a cracking fullback, failing that is he the answer to the right centre debate

I'd be happy to have Pryce at fullback, wing or centre tbh. He's got to be our most talented outside back because he's big, quick and athletic.

Never an international 6 though.
