Nah. Widdop at 6, Brough at 7, Roby at 9, Sinfield at 13. I think Robinson and Lomax switching for Roby and Widdop or Brough.

| I too thought Brough should be England scrum half earlier this season but he hasn't got going since returning from his ankle injury, Lomax on the other hand just gets better and better.
Jonny Lomax should be England's number 7 in the Four Nations.

icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

Sinfield at 13.........Give your head a shake will you, tell him to book his Hols.

That may be the only way Lomax will play scrum half, if Sinfield (or someone similar) is there to be the main playkicker.

I'm not disagreeing..... I would have him start at 7 for england... he is a much better option than brough.. and Myler, as good as he has been this year, isnt ready yet.
I was pointing out the OP's ridiculous statements in regards 'superleagues best defence' and he has not 'seen myler do it in any game this year'... which is frankly a bit silly... as he has had a great season for us./.. maybe he just doesn't watch much rugby league.

Yeah, 4 times grand final winning captain, Lance Todd and Harry Sunderland trophy winner, super leagues leading point scorer, Leeds rugby league all time highest goal kicker,etc etc - what's he ever done to deserve an international shirt ?

| Irrespective of who plays, we have to have a very strong kicking game.
(Sorry, that makes me sound like Phil Clarke, stating the obvious).

I agree, I've been saying Brough all year but he's lost form. I'd go Lomax now, he needs to get used to the setup as he's probably the favourite to be our 7 in 2013.
On the other hand kicking could be an issue if we played Lomax instead of Brough, you'd have to be relying on part-time kickers again in O'Loughlin, Tomkins and Widdop.
It's a tough call, we all remember what happened when Sinfield kept kicking to Slater on the full at Elland Road in '09.

Sadly though, we won't.

| Always a problem of ours.
STOP KICKING TO F***ING SLATER SO HE CAN RUN ONTO THE BALL!!!!!!!
Get the little turd in the ingoal and give him a load of grief like the Kiwis do and he'll fall to bits like he does in finals against them.

The problem is not who is doing the kicking, its where on the field they are kicking from. If your 5th tackle is on your 20m line, the chances are the kick return will be pretty good. So we need to get at least to the halfway line in a set to have an effective kicking game.

| Would deffo have him in the squad, but we need a kicking game and for now he does not have an international class kicking game. Brough may be out of form, but he does have the best kicking game in the league (plus he is the most rounded English 7 in the league). How about having Lomax coming off the bench as interchange hooker. Plus he will have the versatility to cover half, full back and centre.
