Broughton is a bit small nowadays. Like it or not you need your wingers to be able to run the ball back hard from kicks. If we could choose someone else I wouldn't go near Widdopp as his form has been generally awful.

Sam Tomkins is meant to be carrying an injury so I'd hope he'd be left out as its pointless trying to carry somebody. I'd go Lomax at fullback as I think his alround game is better suited at international level then Shaul or Hardaker.

I think the time has come for O'Loughlin to step away. He was fantastic against the Kiwis last year and that would be a fine swan song. He's missed a lot of games for us again and when he does play he looks more then his age.

The only other area that needs any thought IMO is which three you pick from Williams, Widdop, Gale and Sneyd. All four have solid claims! Williams has a piece of magic in him and I'd have to find a place for him. I think Gale warrants a call so it's between Widdop and Sneyd for the last spot. It's a tough call that one!

Lomax? When was the last time he played an international game? Why is it we don't give the form players e.g Shaul a chance now when they are in form?

No one is saying Shaul has not has a good season, he has and has been playing very well. What he doesn't have is the ability to act as a third half, he's a runner not a ball player. To break down the Australians and New Zealanders IMO we need a ball playing full back, Shaul is not that person.

One thing I am certain of is Bennett will have an idea of how he wants to play and will select players to fit that system rather than selecting players and then trying to make it work. If he wants a running full back then he'll probably select Shaul, if he wants a ball player then it's more likely Tomkins or Lomax (possibly even Ratchford).

These pick your England team threads don't half make me laugh!

1. Shaul
2. McGillivray
3. Percival
4. Atkins
5. Solomona (seems Sky say he's eligible now, I thought it was next season

)
6. Hodkinson

Qualifying players who are good enough should get picked.

I'd be tempted to play Widdop at FB

Widdop
Hall
Watkins
Cudjoe
Mcgillvary
Williams
Gale
Hill
Hodgson
Graham
Whitehead
Bateman
Burgess

Roby
G Burgess
Taylor
Currie

Hodgson, Whitehead and Hill should be the first names on the team sheet for me. I'd probably go something like this.

1. Shaul
2. Hall (Manfredi is injured)
3. God knows, Cudjoe? as a wildcard this is where Hardaker has played for Penrith, but the selection wouldn't be on form.
4. Watkins (Lack of options)
5. Mcgilveray (sp?)
6. Widdop
7. Gale
8. Hill
9. Hodgson
10. Graham
11.Whitehead
12. S. Burgess (Would prefer to see him rest but won't happen).
13. O'Loughlin (he's the captain so will play).

14. Clark. (Roby and Houghton both good hookers, but Clark brings more from the bench).
15.Bateman (we always have a spell where we seem to flag, Bateman sent on with his enthusiastic play to counteract this).
16. G./T. Burgess/Mike Cooper. None have been excellent, I'd hope some would find form for England, but wouldn't play them over some of our other good choices at prop.
17. Scott Taylor.

Also in squad, Sneyd, Tom Johnstone, Alex Walmsley, Joe Greenwood, S. Tomkins, Jodie Broughton, literally any othe person who can play centre.

Purposefully not picked because of my own beliefs about eligibility, anyone with an Australian accent, Danny Brough, Ben Currie.

Half the players mentioned here would have drawn howls of derision a few months back

Saints fans still picking Roby at 9 is the best.
