Wild.
Its the backs that are the weakest yes but players like Tomkins, Shenton, Fox, and Briscoe will be the heart of the team and with a few more years experience it wont look as weak.
I also think McGuire and Tomkins would compliment eachother immensely, with Sams creativity and McGuires support play they could create some awesome rugby to watch.

It speaks volumes for the so called "future" of England's three quarter line. Senior has taken both Atkins and Shenton to school in recent months.'"
If Senior had produced the form he has been this season a couple of years ago he's be a cert for the number 4. Sadly, he only does it a couple of times a season.
And Briscoe 'sadly', because he's the best of a bad bunch. If only we had someone like Australia's 7th choice FB. He'd still be better than what we have in that position. |

Whats the point, we have a post like this every other week.
Save it til the GF comes to a close, where certain players will have either stood up to be counted or dismissed properly.
Dont see the point in this now, especially when some of the players being overlooked play for the top clubs for a reason and have been there a while.

Ive gone for Cudjoe as we need to have an attacking fullback. Briscoe just doesnt cut it in that department. Granted Cudjoe is inexperienced in this position but he does have heeps of pace and i cant think of anyone else with sufficient quality or gametime.
'"
Halley or Owen ? |

I'd really hope we move on from the paceless, zero attacking threat but 'solid' full back mentality. If Cudjoe looks anything like as a full back he'd be a better bet than Wellens or Briscoe. That says a lot about how poor our full back choices are. The shame is Smith leaving for Yawnion, as he'd be my choice. If you want a left-field option I'd go for Pryce, who at least offers some threat running the ball.
Will Myler be fit for the end of the season or is he gone? If so I suppose Tomkins would get the vote. Having said that, we could do worse than a Brough/Robinson-type organiser at half back.
Threequarters are a bit of a write-off for me, although Hall at least physically has a bit of size and speed.

Cudjoe is a quality fullback, and in a year or two Michael Lawrence will be a top notch centre too (well he already is actually, but needs to be given a shot in a big game)

Fullback Cudjoe
WingsI like this alot. I'd be tempted to include Pryce in the 17 somewhere because his pace and power has the potential to trouble teams up the middle if he hits form. IMO Burrow is an impact player at best at International level, and wouldn't be in my 17.

You have no chance anyway but here are a few mistake you can not make.
Selecting Rob Burrow...at all.
Selecting Roby, at all.
Selecting Pryce anywhere other than wing or fullack.
Selecting Gleeson at all.
Selecting O'Loughlin at all.
Selecting Paul Wellens at all.
