Quote: lefty goldblatt "Well earned rest, imo. They can all put their feet up, on a beach somewhere, oh hold on, McBanana has picked 5 of them to play in a futile tournament, when they could have an extended off-season, in anticipation of next year's WC.'"
Westwood and Atkins pull out of the squad so what does McBanana do? Call up Ratchford and Harrison instead. Why couldn't he call up the NRL guys instead that he's so interested in, Reed, Widdop and Heighington?
Waste of time tournament that England are going to romp away with.
