You will regret it.

I have seen the squads and have similar concerns re- England's backs.

Has to be fullback imo.

He'll play in the halves due to our lack of options at 7. Only robinson who is a recognised 7 and he has been playing at hooker all season.

Widdop at 1,Brown at 6 and S.Tomkins (wasted) at 7.

We'll end up with little direction and organisation, an average kicking game and will be lucky to make the final

The squad that McBanana has picked just doesn't seem to make any sense

Tomkins is not necessarily wasted as 7 – he has had a good second half to the season at full back but he is also a quality half back. It’s not long since GB were playing loose forwards in the halfs (Farrell, Sculthorpe) who, while good players, were not half backs

If it does turn out to be 1. Widdop 6. Brown and 7. Tomkins which is very likely, it makes pretty good reading to me... about time we gave some talented youngsters a run out

It makes me a darn site more excited that if it was Wellens, McGuire and Burrow again

I'll give you that.

The continual choice of Wellens inferred an inability to recognise the changing nature of the full-back role.

In many ways, Slater has changed the role over the last 5 or so years.

Tomkins would be a doorstop at international level.

I'm more worried about Goulding being picked on the wing as a 'safe' option. Looking at how easily Meli passed him with no space to do so, the Aussie wingers would waltz the matilda over him.

Goulding has had a good season but the two starting wings in that squad must be Briscoe and Hall

We don't have another viable option at stand off so he has to play there

Brown isn't good enough.

Has to play Fullback IMO. Hes exceptional there....

Widdop at 6 and im unsure of whom id like to see at 7.

he would had played full-back had mcguire,pryce or eastmond been fit. we've got no other good options really!

Deacon would have given the ideal control at 1st receiver for the young fellas to work off a bit wider. McNamara missed a trick here i think.

Deacon is terrible. He was never good enough even in his pomp. Sean Long is the man they should have called up, if he's fit.

I will support any England or GB rugby league player irrelevant of club if they are proud to represent their country and they give their all (God knows I would have done if I was good enough)

What I won't do is support a player who walks out on his country in a strop half way through a tournament

I would rather we lost all three games this year than see Sean Long play

I disagree. A player like Deacon is needed to control 1st receiver. During the GF Deacon gave Sam T the space to do his stuff and it worked really well. Plus Deacon has a good kicking game which England has been lacking for years. England have loads of running HBs and not enough generals to boss the team. Deacon for me fits the bill (Brough would have done too if he wasnt playing for Scotland). Just because he does not do the flash stuff does not mean he is a crap player. He would fullfil a role in this England team that has been missing for yonks.

watch the game back from the other night! deacon was outstanding!

well the 1,6,7 from the mid season international was 1. widdop, 6.brown, 7.tomkins which is how i think we will go

Id like us to go 1. sam 6. widdop 7. brown
