Identifying the cream of the talent base early and investing in the time and facilities for them to develop as individuals and as a team is a recognised strategy for success in sport over 4 - 6 year cycles - see the success of the UK swimming and cycling teams or the stability of the England RU team before the 2005 success as case studies

I would suggest that this topic is very serious - I just wish the RFL and England management team were just as serious

Never in a million years.

Owen or halley because they have both been in outstanding form at fullback recently.

What are you talking about?

Ainscough looks like the next Jason Robinson and has a great 'tries per game' record this year, his first year in Super League. And Ryan Hall is the leading try scorer this year, now I'm not saying he's amazing, but out of all the ones to say 'definately won't be in the team' you pick the the player who has scored the most tries this year? Barmy

Id throw Dale Ferguson into the mix as well.

2056 World Cup.


Our robots are better than your robots.

Depends on injury but I would say:

Ferriol, Guisset,
K. Bently
Elima, Fakir,
Mounis

Barthau, Bosc
Raguin, Baille
Pelo, Stacul
Greenshields

Bench from (*preffered):
*Duport, Anseleme, *A. Bently, Villegas, Planas, *Gossard, *Casty, Griffi

Which I think is currently our strongest options. Obviously some youth may come through or even Murphy will get back to playing as a starting role. Obvioulsy the starting XIII is 100% Catalan, as it should be.

Will Wellens still be around?
Senior has retired already hasn't he?

"Stacey Jones makes 42nd comeback before walking out of the team again before first game".

what will the oz/nz team look like?

probably winners

Samoan/tongan/papuanewguinian/fijian mostly.

awsome

Both Gary Wheeler and Jonny Lomax will be there or thereabouts.

I reckon there’s only one player in that squad good enough to compete with the Aussies, and he’s already over there.
