so the man of steel sits on the bench for england and does not play in the world cup then if he does that.

sinfield will always be first pick and will not play with brough as a combination as they both like to be the generals on the pitch. This is also why we see chase having less an impact on the pitch as hes not the go too man like he is at cas

If you believe that your deluded. Brough wasn't in the ETS that included Ben Cockayne FFS. McNamara even said that he wanted continuity and that's why he would stick with the ETS. Brough would not be in the England squad now as Mcnamara has stuck with Chase ad Sinfield.

I'm not convinced by either as our half backs and think this is what will stop us from winning the WC. I'm fully behind the team but I think we will come up short in the half back area

and on that score you wonder why crabtree didnt get named

So the Current Golden Boot holder should play understudy to a one season wonder ?

The only thing Brough has proved is that McNamara is an idiot.

No wonder Rugby League is a small sport in this country.

No he hasn't.

Not surprised you disagree, after all, you are a Leeds fan.

Nowt to do with it, what is being shown is how one eyes club centric a lot of RL fans are, just read in the Giants forum that some if them are now supporting Scotland, it's not McNamara that's the idiot.

We all have opinions on who should and shouldn't be picked but whoever pulls that England shirt on will get my support, I personally love internationals because it gives me a chance to cheer on the great players from other clubs.

I actually agree with you.

Well done Danny Brough and all the other Winners.

I think you're being intentionally thick!

This squad has been in development for 3 years. Danny Brough has managed to put one full season of quality RL together in his career. That season culminated in some pretty grim play-off performances. In two of the three games Brough played in the play-offs he was the worst half-back on the park.

Danny Brough isn’t in a position to expect to be in the England squad. If he really was committed to England he would have spent the last year trying to get in the England squad, he hasn’t.

Besides, even if Mcnamara wanted to call him up it would difficult for him to do so considering Brough has been missing since the start of the play-offs.

Maybe I am.

If you can point out the part of my post which is factually incorrect that would be good.
