If Reed is out then its hard to argue that Shenton hasn't earned a place as next in line based on this years performances.

If Cuthbertson is selected England might as well change the name to "anyone who cant get into theAustralian or NZ side". Change the crest and Jersey whilst your at it.

Just because Aus and NZ do it why should we? If they jumped off a cliff would you follow suit?

And if a youngster with aspirations to play for England saw that average NRL journeymen were getting into the side before our own he'd wonder what the point nis

Cue rage posts from Rhino fans.

that ship sailed long ago when we selected Rangi Chase.Chris Heighington and Maurie fausavalu (sic).

As Andy Gilder says, his father is English that would be more than enough to get him selected in any other sport.Do you not think Australia wouldn't want someone like James Graham to play for them if his father was born there?

His Dad is from Warrington (and he still has family in Warrington) which makes him half British. He now lives and plays in Leeds and has said he wants to play for England. I don't see the problem at all. It's not like we're just letting any old player with two Aussie or Kiwi parents play just because he's over here now.

Man of Steel nominee journeyman, if you please.

Not sure why you would have/need a halfback on the bench, why you would have no interchange hooker, why you have picked Elliot Whitehead (who has hardly played this year). Even more insure why Chris Hill isn't in your 17.
