i put it to everyone that

1. sam tomkins
2. josh charnley
3. joel tomkins
4. kirk yeaman
5. tom briscoe
6. gareth widdop
7. danny brough

is the most potent 1-7 we could field since the 1994 wembley ashes test

name a 1-7 since 1994 then laughing boy

jack reed??? experience?? he's not played 20 games? lol

Charnely
Reed
Yeaman
Briscoe

Anybody who says no to Reed clearly doesn't watch NRL. The best qualifying centre we have by a mile.

Oi Spud, i'm on your side here lad! I've seen a lot of Brisbane this year and Jack Reed is a really good player.

lol......just saying he's not experienced....and he's a queenslander and see's himself as one

I'd be worried about the Tomkins / Charnley wing - great going forward, but the Aussies would have a field day with the defensive frailties that have been exposed in SL.

it'll be alright...greg inglis won't be playing...we've got nowt to fear in a willie tonga or whoever they bring in to replace GI

I’m really struggling to pick a left centre – Yeaman is solid, no doubt but do we expect him to cause the Aussies and Kiwi’s problems? Atkins is probably the most athletic centre in the English game but he got found out badly in last year’s 4 Nations... has another 12 months under Smith’s coaching ironed out the defensive weaknesses in his game (the problem is he hasn’t really been tested in defence week in week out). I cannot comment of Reed as I haven’t seen him enough of him but as far as I know he hasn’t even declared himself for England

I would personally go for young athletic backs with a real view on the next two years and the RLWC

Tomkins
McGilvray
Watkins
Yeaman (just)
Briscoe
Widdop
Brough

Other notable players – J Tomkins as he can cover centre and back row and would be a good bench player, Lomax in the halves and Bridge who can cover stand off and centre (I rate Shenton but I don’t think he has had the year with Saints he would have hoped for and hasn’t really kicked on)

Ok then off the top of my head.

1: Radlinski
2: Offiah
3: Newlove
4: Connolly
5: Robinson
6: Edwards
7: Goulding

thats why i've gone with club partnerships..cos we don't have "superstars" in the /wingers surely its better to have 2 guys who play together week in week out,who should be on the same wavelength in both defense and attack...and lets be honest...charnley & tomkins and yeaman & briscoe are the standout english pairings..

thats a strength surely? and we have to play to that!

Josh Charnley is a liability in defense, Much rather have Ryan Hall on the wing.
