It's about as likely as winning the lottery somebody picking a correct team/squad. Didn't we have 4 survivors from the 2008 World Cup in the squad this time? That means you could be looking at predicting 20 players who could come through. Some of these will still be at u19 level or even in the championship.
If you asked me to name players I think stand a chance of developing to that level in time then from Wigan I'd be throwing names in to the hat like Burgess, Hampshire and Williams from the juniors and from the lads who are in the Wigan squad currently but not the full England squad I'd give lads like Scott Taylor, John Bateman, Jack Hughes and Dom Crosby a fair crack at getting in there.

Tipping somebody to play for England after 1 appearance in a meaningless game for Bradford is laughable.'"
Yeah, bloody George Burgess, he didn't even make one appearance. 
But I agree with the opening line, it's too difficult to tell who will still be in league let alone England quality. I'm more than sure Eastmond was nailed on for the number 7 jersey from 2009 let alone the previous WC year. |

Jack Hughes will be languishing in the Championship in 4 years. He is terrible. |

He played for Ireland in the World Cup yes. Smith wanted him to go and get some more experience in the off season. We did the same with Danny Bridge and James Mendieka. It was probably a better option than playing a one off game for the England Knights. |

Fingers crossed. The hype on this lad is unreal.unfortunately never seen him play. I wouldn't be surprised to see him actually get a game or two this year, pre-season friendlies or possibly early rounds of challenge cup. Hope he lives up to his potential. |

He really is good try & get down to bishop Burton for a few U19s games he's got everything he can turn a game great kicking game strong in defence & he's as tough as cheap steak! |

I think the rules are now that you can name two rep sides. One from the top level and a second nation and can interchange between them. this has removed the having to wait three years rule but as long as it is managed it shouldn't be an issue.
Wouldn't be an issue if England was called GB. Nobody would have any problems with a player playing for GB and a home nation. |
