For the france game.....for me we need to do what the union did a few years back and start building the team for the next world cup imo - look what we will want to play then and stick them in now and start developing.
For me I would go with;
1. Smith or Briscoe
2. Owen
3. Shenton
4. R. Hall
5. Ainscough
6. Myler
7. S Tompkins
8. Graham
9. Roby
10. S. Burgess
11. Ablett
12. J. Tompkins
13. Westerman
------------------------
14. McCarthy Scarsbrook
15. McIllurum
16. Eastmond
17. Prescott
For me that would easily have the beating of france. Lets get them in now, give them the experience and then use this as the basis of our sqaud for NZ and Aus, adding a bit of extra experience with say Peacock, Yeaman, Gleeson, O'Loughlin, Hock, McGuire, Burrow, Wilkin to make up the 25 for the 4 nations, which should make us competitive enough to at least get a couple of wins in the autumn and then build from there.
We'll only be good enough in the next WC if the players that form the basis of the squad start playing now IMO.

Higham(if he'll pick Wire players)
Macarthy-Scarsbrook
JJB

Think there is a great mix of youth and experiance but no real old heads. Great attacking flair in there aswell as aggresion.

Think people need to start looking at Paul Clough and Bryn Hargreves the lads are still young but making massive strides in the st's team. Also not many people seem interested in seeing Danny Brough making the england team after he switched....

James Graham won't want to play.
It's too far away...and it's another "unnecessary"game....and it's not a big enough event to inspire him...
...and he might play like he did in the world cup!

| Quote: TJ!Salford!Mad "what about Luke Adamson also, has been playing out of his skin for Salford all season'" Agree with that the lad is playing well, watched salford on the tv and from what is see they have a good mix of talent coming through adamson, myler, ratchford, turner, sidlow and from what i hear from othe academy players there are a few excting players coming through the academy ranks at salford......future looks bright. |
