Would love to see SOO move to stand alone weekends and see England play NZ at the same time every year.'"
good I think we would all love to see England play NZ every year but it will not happen

| One thing I would say is we need burrow on the bench, possibly even burrow and roby on the bench could be hugely effective
Higham should be forcing his way in if he carries on his form.
Sinfield and chase/widdop is my choice in the halves.
Crabtree has always been a big performer for England too.
The team does more or less pick itself though with a few tough choices

To me a lot of positions are easy to fill at this point, with only one or two contenders for most positions
Might have guessed that Sinfield would be getting it in the neck why waste time with another anti Sinfield post

Where did I give it Sinfield in the neck? All i said is that he is already definitly a halfback so there is no point questioning it whether you like it or not. Short of injury he is in the England squad end of the matter at this point.
And i say half backs is where we are weakest, do you disagree? Our forwards are strong, as are our backs but we have zero proven half back combinations at international

That's good news. It means we can rid of Macnamara.

实事求是!: |

| Hard to pick an exact team, but here IMO are the certs for the starting 13:
Ellis
S Burgess
Westwood
Graham
Tomkins
Sinfield
roby
watkins
hall
I think those players are musts, the rest of the starting line up and the bench is open to interpretation.

The 'banana' wasn't even deemed good enough for Bradford, who were falling apart at that time. 'The bulls' got rid of him.
Who the hell decided he should be GB/England coach ?
Hey, I am available.
I have been an [iafficionado[/i since the late 1950s and what I don't know about RL, I can ask my dad. Who has been watching the game since 1928.
We could coach England/GB even cheaper than the 'banana man'.

The Rugby Football League are in the process of reviewing the video that you are referring to. We do not condone behaviour of this nature and have contacted the player’s employer, Hull F.C., who have confirmed that they are dealing with the incident under their club rules.

He's been good but even with my Leeds glasses on I don't see a place for him in the starting 13 - he's slightly unlucky that he's up against Tomkins for that full back spot.
I suppose he could play at centre if Watkins isn't fit but I wouldn't count on it.

Thought he was awful against the Exiles. A real weak link. He doesn't play there every game so I don't think he should be a starting choice when we have far better available. Squad player at best.
Leroy Cudjoe deserves the other centre spot. He's been outstanding all year. I think Jack Reed needs to step up.

| I’d think about putting Hardaker on the wing because of the utility and cover he would offer as he can cover FB and if we lost a half it would allow us to push Tomkins forward. It would also allow us to look at running some sets with Tomkins pushed a bit further forward and Hardaker as the extra runner chiming in from fullback.
Right now I would go
Tomkins
Hardaker
Watkins
Cudjoe
Hall
Widdop/Chase
Sinfield
Graham
Roby
Morley
Ellis
Westwood
S Burgess
Crabtree
G Burgess
Hill
Burrow
Charnley
Reed
Farrell
Houghton
O’loughlin
Widdop/Chase
Kirmond
