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)

Centres: Shenton & Atkins
Standoff: Mcguire
Scrum Half: Sam Tomkins
Props: Peacock & Graham
Hooker Moore
2nd Row: Ellis & O'Loughlin
Loose forward: Burgess
Subs: Roby, Morley,Carvell, Wild
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.
Wings speak for themselves. Two best in SL this year. Pace on one side power on the other.
Centres we need some pace in the backline. Gleesons form just hasnt been good enough and for me he is too slow at international level. SHenton and Atkins represent our only other viable choices.
Mcguire is in there because he was the only half who showed up against the Aussies and kiwis in the World cup.
Leon Pryce for me both downunder and this season has given every impression of being a flat track bully. Looks great when a team is well ontop, but when a side needs to dig deep he goes into his shell.
Tomkins offers more creativity than Burrows, and while he is inexperienced i cant think of anyone else to slot in there. Especially with fact Myler hasnt played for 3 months.
Peacock and Graham are the 2 best props in SL, they pick themselves
Moore has been form hooker this season and offers great organisation at dummy half and also a kicking game option
Ellis and OLoughlin are 2 tackling machines in the back row.
Burgess has the size and mobility to play like a modern day loose forward eg 3rd Prop.
Subs pick themselves. Roby for impact hooker. Morley for impact from bench along with Carvell his Wire colleague. Wild would be fourth sub as he can cover in backs if injuries occur while also giving us more mobility out wide later in the game.'" I 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.

| Roby's OK and O'Loughlin, for all his critics has at least played quite well at international level. In fact the opposite of someone like Wilkin.

| Quote CAM.="CAM."What's wrong with Roby?'"
He is bloody hopeless.
And O'Loughlin, he is only known outside of wigan because certain idiots wanted him to carry on from another world class loser in Farrell!
he has to be the most average footballer in the entire world!
