With all these threads on the Wales team and now the possibility of Daniel Mortimer being available for them in the WC what kind of team could Wales put out at teh World Cup, and could it compete for a quarter finals place?

Andy Powell?

Sure I saw Josh Jones being mentioned as a potential Wales player? Not sure how reliable that is though, he'd be an excellent addition to their team.

If so it strengthens their centres big time, an area along with hooker i'd say they were short.

Welsh chances of getting to the quarter finals will probably depend on how Italian the Italian side really is - if it just consists of NRL players who can locate Italy on a map 2 times out of 5 (it's known as 'overseas qualification') then things might be a bit dodgy.

Has Rhys Evans changed his mind? I thought he had decided to play for England.

Understand what you're saying, eligibility needs sorting, it's a simple problem to solve. On the flip side, it hasn't done Italian RU any harm.

Regarding Italy, I went over there working with the FIRL last summer, and there's more and more Italians playing. A few Italian lads are now playing for Coventry Bears I've seen. There's likely to be a big percentage of NRL players I was told (the likes of Minichiello, Ciraldo etc) but they're hoping to get some actual Italians in the squad as well.

Lloyd White will probably start hooker with Ian Webster as his back up, Webber is still a very capable player and is back playing Queensland Cup.

As for half backs, if Mortimer pulls through it will be between him, Danny Jones (Keighley), Matt Seamark (Wynnum Manly) and young Ollie Olds (Ipswich Jets)

I was under the impression that Terry Campese has also put his hand up for the Italians - if he can stay fit of course.

Glad Ollie has found a club, I thought he was unlucky to be released by Leeds. He's the kind of traditional SH the welsh need. He's quick too.

He was with South Wales Scorpions mate, but Brisbane came in with an offer he couldn't refuse! Hopefully he is training with the Broncos u20 soon... He's a good talent

Andy Powell might be in that team if he has completed his move to Wigan.

I know that it is only the championships but i have really been impressed by Ross divorty. He runs hard and he tackles well and puts in 100% effort every game

Is Brad Dwyer welsh?
