That's just a fantasy of yours, in reality where the rest of us live, MM is tough enough and good enough to mix it with the Kiwis and Ausies.

I really like Clarke but as others have said his performances in the big games have been below average, maybe he's been let down by his Castleford team mates and maybe he'd be a revelation behind a big English pack, I don't know but the stakes are too high to gamble.

Roby as 1st choice with MM as his foil

No he isn't.

Is there some sort of exam or test all players have to take in order to determine toughness?

Roby and Clark.
Would take Lunt ahead of MM.

Don't see point in havin Roby and MM in same 17 as Roby might as well do 80 minutes. With Clark or Lunt coming off the bench It speeds the ruck up.

Then you woke up in a wet patch.

Handled himself fine in the WCC.

He was crap.

He's shown nothing when he's played for england.

I'd agree with that. Don't like MM much but he is a very good player and if he can control his aggression rather than just being a sh*thouse then i'd pick him over Clark who has done little recently in the 'big' matches.

Roby shouldn't be in question, he should walk into the team. Way better than any other hooker in SL.

who will the two half backs be never mind the hookers!?

smith and brown?

It all depends on how McNamara wants to play. However many hooker we take Roby is a must. If Mc intends to play Roby for 80 mins then take 2 hookers. I'd take 3. Roby and MM are competent to cover #13 if needed.

I hope not! Smith and Widdop, classic partnership a runner with a player maker.

Roby and Clark for me , never rated Mcilorum, don't see what he offers apart from being a bit of a , besides the Aussies will know what to expect, Clark is a bit of an unknown to them in terms of playing against him. In fact i'd take Hodgson, Lunt, Houghton and Higham before Mcilorum !

Robes and McIlorum for me. Clark an honourable mention but would get dominated and found out in defense IMO.

I'd take McIlorum just for wind up purposes, they cant help themselves when it comes to sledging and a bit of niggle so get them Aussies riled and let them lose their heads for a change especially that pack with loose cannons like Gallen and such like idiots in there.

Robes is unquestionably the starting hooker but as much as I dislike EVERYTHING about McIlorum, this is one the time i'd be willing to loosen the hatred as long he just gets a reaction from them and we get an advantage.

Roby and MM for me, Clark a very good player but not international class at the moment.

Yes using virtual reality you're put into a situation where a big Aussie or Kiwi starts taking your team mates heads off and acting as hard as nails. Then in a tackle he punches your team mate.

You have 2 options:
1 - stand up for your team mates, Queen & Country and proceed to batter said Aussie or Kiwi.
2 - make a show of pushing him in a handbag type way and then find a way to run away from the fight.
