Does anyone know how strong this Moari side is?

He must have had an injury or something. He's been an absolute rock for Bradford when ever I've seen him, even when he's playing on one leg.

Especially when he seems to be one of McNamara's favourites. Wasn't he captain for that cumbria game? He's definately be there if fit for me, Morley + Graham starting with Fielden and Lynch off the bench.

Some one postedthis on the international board

Didn't he play against Cumbria? Infact wasn't he captain?

Madness, then.

Strangely madness and McNamara seem to go hand in hand nowadays.

Especially with Peacock not going, I can't belive he's missed out.
Perhaps he's said he didn't want to go for some personal reason?

Can I ask you as a giants fan, were you suprised at Griffin's inclusion? I personally would have though Mason would have been picked first?

Peacock is on crutches.

I was surprised there was more than one Giant there.

Griffin has been immense this season and deserves a call up.

i think he meant Lynch might of asked to be left out for personal reasons.

Decent team with the players missing for me. Looks pretty good for future aswell with the average age of the team.

Any highlights of this game on the BBC?

I did. I should have said - especially with Peacock not going, I can't believe Lynch has missed out.

It's a good side.
