| Quote ="JB Down Under"2014 Would love to see a GB tour down under

3 Game Ashes series in Oz (Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane)

I would love that every 4/5 years the same as union do, I would add the rider that players would only be chosen from players who qualify by playing for the home nations, that would allow for players who opt for Scotland Ireland & Wales instead of England getting the lions share, I would also consider the French players to be included.

| Reed has been in good form from what I've seen and he proved himself to be pretty handy for England last time out. I'd pick him over Atkins, however I'd probably still have him in the squad.

| Lifted straight off the other thread, heres my potential England World Cup squad:
1. Sam Tomkins
2. Josh Charnley
3. Jack Reed
4. Ryan Atkins
5. Ryan Hall
6. Gareth Widdop
7. Danny Brough
8. Adrian Morley
9. James Roby ©
10. James Graham
11. Gareth Hock
12. Gareth Ellis
13. Sean O'Loughlin
14. Jonny Lomax (impact)
15. Kevin Sinfield (utility)
16. Lee Mossop
17. Sam Burgess
Squad members.
18. Tom Briscoe (wing cover)
19. Leroy Cudjoe (Centre cover)
20. Mike Mcllorum (hooker cover)
21. Rob Burrow (hooker/halves cover)
22. Jon Wilkin (utility)
23. Ben Westwood (forward cover)
24. Eorl Crabtree
25. Garreth Carvell
A good mix of youth, experience, with both specialist and utility value there I think.
I don't agree with Brough or Mcllorum playing for England, but they are the rules so ho hum.
Lomax, Mossop & Mcllorum will be a year older and wiser too.
Morley would be great to have around camp even though he wouldn't feature in every game.
Hopefully players like Stefan Ratchford, Kallum Watkins and the other three Burgess boys will have a great 2013 and will be making strong cases for a test shirt too

Interesting tactic, starting with just 12 players. We should, at least, win the sympathy vote.
I assume you would go with Roby at hooker.

We would have a fair shot against NSW with that team but would struggle against Queensland and thrashed by Australia (again)!!

I know Charnley is a good player, but playing both wings in the same game is some going for anyone!!!

| Ideally France would tour at the same time and play PNG one week after GB then play NZ in a three test series whilst GB were playing the Ashes games.

Wings. Charnley, Hall, Briscoe,
Centres. Reed, Atkins, Watkins, Cudjoe
Halves. Widdop, Brough, Smith, Lomax
Props. Hill, Mossop, Graham, Burgess, Carvell
Back Row. Burgess, Harrison, Hock, O'Loughlin, Tickle, Ellis
Hookers. Roby, McIllorum
Can we sack McNamara before 2013, if so we have a decent chance if Harrison, Hill, Mossop, Watkins, Burgess boys, McIllorum etc develop further,

| Interesting that virtually everyone opts for Brough.
Bet Mcnamara omits him from final squad.

I have my doubts too to be honest. He'll be 30 and he never sems to perform consistantly for a full season. I think Matty Smith if he has another good year next year could be in.

A trip down under would be definitely on the cards for this.

| I’m hoping that another full Super League and NRL season will see a number of young players play themselves into contention
We have the building blocks of a decent squad
Full backs: Tomkins is nailed on barring injury and I really like the look of Eden but next year may be a little too early
Wings: Any three from Briscoe, Hall and Charnley who are all a step up from recent English wings
Centres: Watkins could be a great centre – has athleticism and skill. Needs to tighten up his defence but in another 12 months he could be the real deal. Alongside him either Reed or Atkins
Stand-off: Widdop – performing at a good standard week in week out in a leading NRL team, not sure what more he has to do to get the number 6 jersey for England
Scrum half: Lomax – again in 12 months I think he will be capable of really bossing a game, already showing he can do this for Saints in spells. I would have had Brough in the squad last year but not as convinced now. Matty Smith may be a shout after a year at Wigan
Props: Rotating with Graham, Sam Burgess, Mossop and probably Chris Hill the way he is improving (although I think George Burgess will be a regular in South’s NRL squad next year, will be interesting to see if he can get fast international recognition like his brother)
Hooker: Roby nailed on and McIlorum the other specialist. At least one of Robinson and Burrow in the squad for cover
Back row: Ellis, Westwood, Hock and O’Loughlin
My 17 from that would probably be below but I hope that some youngsters push their way into the picture
Tomkins
Briscoe
Watkins
Reed
Hall
Widdop
Lomax
Graham
Roby
Sam Burgess
Ellis
Westwood
O’Loughlin
Mossop
Hill
Hock

| Picking an inital 32 man squad with plenty of cover I'd be looking at something like:
Tomkins
Ratchford
Charnley
Hall
Briscoe
Reed
Atkins
Watkins
Goulding
Widdop
Chase
Brough
Lomax/Smith
Graham
Mossop
L Burgess
Prescott
Hill
Carvell
McCarthy-Scarsbrook
Patrick
Roby
McIlorum
Burrow/Houghton
S Burgess
Ellis
Hock
Westwood
Farrell
JJB/Bateman
O’Loughlin
Sinfield
Obviously aspects such as 2013 form/injuries are going to play a massive part in whittling that down to a final 24 and then 17. I've tried to mix some of the most promising younger players with experience and remove what I consider dead wood from the squad. If McNamara is still in charge a lot of this will still be floating around however no doubt.
