I would have thought there were better players than Westwood and Bridge. Bridge isn't even the best english centre in warrington.

Also surely Fox is better than T Briscoe

I'm sure he has Australian relatives and because of being only 19 or so when he went over and never having played for England he'd be able to apply for Aussie residency meaning he would be eligible to play for them in years to come. Same as Widdop really. Moz investigated the residency situation when he was over there I believe...

I know all about Aus residency, and It takes more than a few months to get it, and thats all Flanagans been there for. He's nowhere near good enough for the Aus national team, as yet i dont think he's good enough for England imo. His only connection to Aus is his girlfriend, so he could just have a visa wedding

1. G. Widdop
2. T. Briscoe
3. C. Bridge
4. M. Shenton
5. R. Hall
6. S. Tomkins
7. D. McGuire
8. A. Morley
9. J. Roby
10. J. Peacock
11. G. Ellis
12. B. Westwood
13. S. O'Loughlin

Subs:

14. K.Sinfield
15. J. Tomkins
16. J. Graham
17. S.Burgess

I think that was more to do with being able to settle down there when he's retired, there was no way he was ever going to play for Australia, even though he was easily good enough.
