I expect Mr Smith to include Luke Adamson, Jordan Turner and Richard Myler for this game against France.

Tony Smith is in my opinion is a very good coach and he has always said he is prepaired to give young players a chance.

OVER TO YOU MR SMITH.

sorry mr rowley cant agree i dont think jordan is international material unlike luke and richie

I'd agree with you with jordan at the moment but has the potential to be one

If he gives one/two/three of our lads a chnce, then the inducement to go to a bigger club to ensure International honours (a la Coley) is reduced and we can develop talent for the long-term.

But what will happen is that those players get tapped up whilst away with the squad - isn't that exactly what Noble did with Coley - put him in the train-on squad and effectively said play out the season, don't get injured and you're at Wigan next year?

Completely unethical, but I suspect nothing can be done about it, as one of the minnows in RL I guess we just have to put up with it - you can't deny talented players the chance to play internationals and further theor careers

Myler named in the Elite training squad, and congratulations to him!

Fecking fa'savalu thats a mistake surely

Does anybody know what stadium france v england in paris is being played at ? CHEERS

i thought Adamson would have been due a chance. playing better than westwood IMO.

Disappointing !!

Good to see some of the younger players in in place of the older and never made it...Westerman, Shenton, McCarthy-Scarsbrook, Myler, Atkins, Tom Briscoe (who is a bit of a surprise for me).

I think it looks a decent squad from what's been selected so far - experience age-wise in Morley and Peacock and plenty of experience playing-wise in O'Loughlin, McGuire, Burrow, Wilkin etc...bit surprised there's only one hooker chosen unless he's planning on playing Myler at 7 and Burrow as interchange hooker? Or is Tom Briscoe a hooker??

Im presuming that others will be added to the squad throughout the season though so there's still the chance for Adamson to force his way in if he continues performing as he has done.

Pleased for Richie though as it looks like these 17 are being looked at as the backbone of the squad for the next few seasons...well done to the lad.

its the elite squad a group of players that are gonna meet though out the year to train and develop. As the season goes on the squad will be added to make it between 25 and 30 players. These player will then hopefully form the basis of the england squad for the future, but these players will not automatically get picked for England should a better player be available, although they stand better chance of being picked.

Stade Jean Bouin Paris,is where the game is being played. Sorry no idea where that is.
