That's the exact same team that I picked except for Westwood in for Tickle (can't see why they'd have him in both squads and not play him in this game).
And I can see that team putting another cricket score on Wales. |

Ben Harrison wont be playing in Wales according to Smith.
A bit too early for him, what with playing for Ireland last year.

Bridge didnt play last year, was injured.
Been a couple of years now since Bridge played I think.

Because he's been in the train on squad and someone has to be named.
Bridge didn't play for Ireland in WC as he was injured. Played the year before however IIRC.

| It's nothing to do with him playing for Ireland last year, otherwise he wouldn't have been in the squad. It's because Smith obviously feels there are guys in the train-on squad more deserving.
Quote: "“I’m doubtful that he’s going to get a game against Wales, he’s unlikely to feature unless there’s some injury but he deserved his place in the train-on squad.”'" |

Then we should play bridge there or another player who hasnt played fullback before. sykes is only borderline sl sqaud player qaulity, certainly not international qaulity. |

Why Ben Westwood?
Outside Cheshire we hear sweet fa about him throughout the season yet for some reason only known to his club coach Mr Smith, he's a regular England pick come the internationals.
How Tony Smith can warrant picking 4 players from his own club (who contributed to the heady position of 10th in SL) is beyond me. How closely did he watch players from teams that did do well last season?
Only good point is that he has stopped the Rhinos/Saints obsession of the last World Cup.

Tony Smith must be massively inspirational as a coach to work under. What happens when it doesnt sleet or snow (does it ever in November?), the England team knows thier coach doesnt think they have a chance. |

So Tony Smith has the same opinion as almost everyone on this forum.
I can say we'll get smashed and 99% of posters will agree. Smith says something far less negative in that we don't have the backline power to match the Kangaroos' and people are on his back.
Have a think, please.

Tony Smith may believe one thing - and it would be true. But surely as a coach he should motivate and inspire his players into believing that they can achieve more than their meagre talents would normally give them. |
