| Excellent.
This kid is a very good talent who can only help England's cause.
Surely this has to be good for our future.

There are players in SL who have been playing well aslo, lets see what they can do, otherwise whats the point of having quotas, which were intended to improve us at international level.

| Some excellent options in England's 3/4 line for the first time since maybe 03 / 04.

Excellent is a bit over the top none of our backs are as good as their Aus/NZ counterparts.

An English player playing well in the NRL is worth a place over an English player playing well in Super League in the same position. Reed is the best English centre just as Widdop is the best Stand Off and Ellis the best second rower.

Tomkins is better than Hohaia

| He's committed which is what i'm glad of. What my fripe was it looked like it was going to be a case of us having to name him in our squad to make sure he's English, rather than him committing himself. But fair play to the lad he's committed to England.
I hope Mcnamara doesn't become obsessed with choosing players just because they play in the NRL. They were talks of Mark Flannagan last year just because he did OK. There are some poor players in the NRL as well. We're not talking the same differnce as say SL and the Championship.

| Having watched a lot of Brisbane games this year I can't say I'm over impressed by him, he's solid and thats about it.
I fail to see how we can overlook Yeaman after the season he's had, stats say he's the best defensive centre available to us, scored lots of tries, forms a dangerous club partnership with the best winger in our game (Briscoe) and selected in the dream team.
The last time he played internationaly he was very good against arguably the best centre in the world at the time, only injury and poor selection policies have robbed him of more caps.
I would'nt even consider Jack Reed ahead of Yeaman.

| Quote: Sal Paradise "Really - so the likes of Chris Lawrence, Matt Cooper, Michael Jennings, Sean Kenny Dowell etc are all ordinary!!'"
Is this list supposed to disprove roughyedspud’s point that there is a worrying lack of Australian talent coming through in the three quarters?
Matt Cooper is a quality player but he is 32 years old and has managed to acquire 7 caps for Australia in the last 7 years – if this was a list of outstanding talent coming through in 2004 then I would agree with you
Michael Jennings seems to be a talented drunk
Chris Lawrence is a good young centre
Shaun Kenny-Dowall is a New Zealander
As an English fan, this list doesn’t exactly scare me to death

46042.jpg [quote="Bonzo":23qz4bj5]Corrected.
Incidentally, an exclamation mark ends a sentence and does not require a full stop. The first letter of the next word begins a new sentence and should therefore be capitalised. [i:23qz4bj5]Who needs flankers[/i:23qz4bj5]' grammar was actually correct.
HTH.

Shentons done nothing to warrant being considered for England, he should be somewhere around 7th or 8th choice on this seasons form.
