thats a good team imo... id go with that however swap pryce for either mcguire or tomkins. the rest leave..

The Aussies must be having a good laugh at our potential line-up. If that is the team and the best we can do, then we might aswell not even bother turning up. Cant believe the Aussie's will have a choice between Slater and Hayne for fullback, and we have Briscoe. Were screwed.....

yeah cos games are won and lost on the choice of 1 player...

2) Fox
3) Gleeson

I really do have problems with people "thinking" Enland, in any guise can beat the Aussies at Rugby League.

We won't and will not until certain people and clubs take their head out of their collective backsides and realise what the REAL problem is!!

But they can't and if they did it is doubtful they would change because their narrow minded my club sod anyone else attitude would preclude it!

I never said they were, i was merely emphasising the vast difference in quality and skill that Aus have to choose from and what we have to choose from in one position.

As for the WC final, the Aussies went into the game too cocky and complacent, and NZ had the game of their lives. The previous games before that and the one this year shows they are miles ahead of NZ and Aus, its just unlucky for them the game they lost was the final. Of course NZ and Eng can beat them on any given day, its just that day doesnt come round too often.

Myler ahead of Burrow?

I wouldn't want to go into an internatonal with an untested half-back pairing.

As much as I am against sticking with the status quo, I reckon England should start as the same team that came out last time, with possibly 3-5 changes at most. Over the tourney you could then try some more new faces, but you can't swap half the squad about and expect them to play as a team.
