He really is good try & get down to bishop Burton for a few U19s games he's got everything he can turn a game great kicking game strong in defence & he's as tough as cheap steak!

I think the rules are now that you can name two rep sides. One from the top level and a second nation and can interchange between them. this has removed the having to wait three years rule but as long as it is managed it shouldn't be an issue.

Wouldn't be an issue if England was called GB. Nobody would have any problems with a player playing for GB and a home nation.

How the bloody hell can anyone guess the England line of four years from now?

There'll be lads in the U19s that will become England players and virtually no one will know of them now.

Best I can do is suggest a few who I know of now who could be in their prime in four years.

Lynam, Crooks, Bateman, Percival, Hampshire, Currie, Amor, Walmsley, Clarke

Impossible to predict. However I have seen no Huddersfield players mentioned yet Cudjoe,Ferres, and Lunt will all still be the right age to be playing top level rugby and I would add to that list Joe Wardle who is a class act and still only 22.

Danny Houghton still probably won't have got a look in!

Cudjoe will probably be at his best then and I'd even dare throw Wardle into the mix who is a natural 4 and has the potential to be up there in 4 years

6 "token" England qualified players, 7 from the NRL, and the rest from the present proven but failed again squad particularly if they well over 30.

It doesn't matter what squad, coach is put together for the next World Cup, the systems/structure of the game in this hemisphere are not conducive to creating a constant winning team.

Well I am very pleased to note that it seems that all on here have come around to realising that the one player I personally was most opposed to being in this years squad, let alone the team has been omitted by everyone who has named a selected squad: Cudjoe!

Whyever he was selected is far beyond me and to compound that he was retained throughout the competition also. I will concede that, he had his best game V Oz in the first match, but the farther the comp went on, the worse he got.

I agree with others that the lottery would be as easy to win as picking a squad for 2017 now as so many players will have appeared and disappeared before then that it is almost impossible to predict, but good luck to anyone willing to take a dip.

He was absolutely shocking in the Semi. Shouldn't get another chance in an England shirt after that performance.

Im not sure I would never give him another chance, but Cudjoe did not look a natural centre in any of the games I saw. He was awful at feeding his winger which lost us one of our biggest threats, he went on his own far too often, bombed too many overlap, seemed to slow the play down every time it went to him. He looked like a winger/fullback filling in at centre rather than a natural centre.

I thought Cudjoe was in there because we'd no other left centre around.
After him who? Atkins, Thornley or Jones at Saints?

I think Jones will end up in the back row. Percival is a much better prospect for the left centre spot.

Jack Reed would've been left centre had he not been injured.

Crooks and Lineham would be the two from Hull that I would think would be knocking on the door. Lineham has the potential to be whatever he wants to be. An incredible athlete for his age.
