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.

Results will be classified on a spectrum ranging from Top Prop or better known as the Peacock/Morley all the way down to Complete Tart aka the Bailey.

Roby and Clark depend on the quick ptb and scoot. You never get quick ptb against either the Aussies or Kiwis.
McIlorum doesn't play in a team that depends on quick ptb and scooting. Wigan get quick ptb but shift it wide to the 2nd rowers. MicMac can dart from dh but then finds the first or 2nd receiver.
Trouble is McNamara may want to play to a certain style but hasn't the ability to select and coach a team to play the way he wants.
McNamara is turning England into Bradford.

I thought Gallen was ruled out of the Four Nations.

Pick a skilful Hooker not a niggler, the Aussies and Kiwis will not give a fig about a team of nigglers its all be seen before.

Roby and Higham

I think it's the Fielden scale you mean!
