One would of prefered a certain Mark Flanagan as a back rower rather than Manu at least Flanagan is English.

You've got the likes Broughton, Clubb, Jones-Bishop in there, yet no Leon Pryce or Joel Tomkins, bit a of a joke really. Pryce has been one of Saints best and most consistant players all season, been in some really form this season, and obviously so has Tomkins and i don't see why being up in front of the disciplinary will make a difference to him being selected in this train on squad, its not as if they are playing any games. Both players should easily make a 37 man squad, and would both be pushing for the Tri-Nations squad.'"
The same leon Pryce who destroys the likes of Crusaders and Quins , yet becomes the invisible man at test level = no thanks .. |

| Quote: Matty_HullFC "I meant relative to our wingers (To Ade Gardner etc..) in the last few years not to Aus.
Briscoe, Fox and Hall are all decent players IMO and our wings are a lot stronger than what they have been in the last couple of years with some promising prospects. However our centres are shocking as said, there's no one close to been a top centre there.'"
Agree with that
They may not be up there with Robinson and Offiah but Briscoe, Fox and Hall are the best collection of wingers we have had since those days... |

This whole thing is clearly a diversionary tactic to sneak Paul Sykes in under the radar...

It is the best we can come up with, yes
If we compare these players to Lockyer and Thurston, they are obviously going to come up short... in fact just about 95% of the international half backs to play the game would come up short in comparison to these two
The real measure is whether this squad is developing England as an international RL team and I would suggest that in Myler, Tomkins and Eastmond we have some of the best young halfbacks coming through the ranks for a long time
Maybe in 10 years time, our Aussie friends will be commenting on their new halfbacks with "Jesus, is this the best we can come up with?
Can see them giving Tompkins, Eastmond, Myler etc... etc... countless sleepless nights"
OK... that may be a pipe dream but you know what I mean |

If we have to stoop as low as this then we know the international game is in trouble

I hope that our young players don’t have the inferiority complex you seem to... if they go to Australia with that attitude they will be beaten before they start |

Thought Goulding might have got a callup, being top scorer has propelled worse wingers into the squad in the past, and he's shown some fantastic finishing skills this year.

Yes, because the credibility of how good a player is is based on tackle busts. |

Indeed... as demonstrated by number 5 in the tackle bust list, Stuart Fielden, who has a 5 page thread about him on these boards starting with the sentence "I cannot remember a player in any sport ever who has destroyed his reputation and his career so extensively as Stuart Fielden has" |

But that is coming from someone who has more passion for hating Wigan than he/she has for their own team! |
