| Does anyone know when this is named, surely they will give two weeks notice?
Finding it very hard to pick three players per squad with the injuries teams have.
Castleford Tigers - Hardaker, Gale.
Catalan Dragons - ??
Huddersfield Giants
Hull FC
Leeds Rhinos - Watkins, Hall.
Leigh Centurions
Salford Red Devils
St Helens
Wakefield Trinity
Warrington Wolves
Widnes Vikings
Wigan Warriors - Williams
NRL - Widdop, T Burgess, S Burgess, G Burgess, Graham, Hodgson, Whitehead, Sarginson
Will change the above when people say who they think will be chosen from teams

| Add McMeekan from Cas, Percival, Roby and Walmsley from Saints, McGilvery from Hudds (maybe Johnstone from Wakey instead). Farrell from Wigan. I'd also have Savelio from Warrington in the squad.

Added mine to yours but i'm struggling beyond that. Is it up to three from each squad or must be three from each squad as that would mean a huge squad of players going out for just one game of rugby and a lot of those players would just be fillers with no real chance of ever getting an England cap or look in at that level.
Add to that, the Burgess twins need a kick up the Backside... i would not be including them in the international squad until they get their acts together for Souths.

| If they take three of ours at the minute I'll probably get a game!
If the injury situation eases over the coming weeks I'd expect Williams and Farrell to be shoe ins on this seasons form.

Williams should be nailed on to play alongside Gale .
I don't really know why but I have never really rated Farrell, I cant quite explain why, I don't think he is a bad player but I just don't think he is international standard.

| Williams and Gale (barring injuries) are nailed on.
I'm surprised no one as mentioned Daz Clark at Warrington getting a chance either.

| I think we go as strong as we can. It's a world cup year not a building year. And to be honest there's not that many shirts up for grabs.
FB will be hardaker unless Tomkins gets back and has a great end of year.
Wings Hall and McGilveray own those shirts unless someone demands one off them
Watkins owns his and is looking dangerous at the moment. Sarginson probably has the other unless someone bolts
Halfback will be 2 of Gale, Widdop and Williams baring injury maybe space for someone to impress and get a back up role.
Props Graham, Burgii, Hill, Taylor, personally I think Walmsley will struggle with the speed against the top international sides but would be really useful against some of the lesser lights. Possibly space for 1 or 2
Hooker we will probably go with Roby, Houghton and Hodgson, I don't think there is anyone breaking those three unless Clarke has a great rest of year and looks the better impact option
Back row might be some space. Sam Burgess, is a given probably Whitehead and maybe Farrell too. But the rest are really up for grabs. Weatherman doesn't have a great deal of international experience and wire are struggling. O'loughlin can't get on the field and when he does he can't get a long run of games. Starts to look like a risk going in to a world cup. I have high hopes for Savelio and Ward but Savelios start to life at wire hasn't been all that impressive and Ward needs games.

| I don't think Gale and Williams is the sure fire HB combination. Widdop is in great form for St George. Percival should be nailed on for left centre, although I don't think he's physical enough yet to become more average at international level. Same goes for Johnstone.
The 2nd row is our weakness at the moment. On form, I'd pick McMeekan and Ablett.

| If we are really talking of picking "on form" then we have to consider a space for Garth Hock

| Are there no other options at centre? It frustrates me how Watkins never performs at international level but keeps the shirt year after year.

He's always been solid enough, if unspectacular. He certainly outperformed Percival last year, but you'd expect that given the difference in experience

Sadly not imo. As Charlie says, He has been solid enough just not the game breaker we maybe hoped he may become on that stage as of yet at least.
