Because of McNamara being the Bradford coach beforehand is the only possible explanation. I do actually think Joel Tomkins should've been in the squad because he is better than Willie Manu for the the squad and I think he has a great future ahead of him.

[size=25Infact, he shouldn't be in because he's a dirty barstool...

Of course Joel Tomkins should be in there. However, there are hardly any back rowers in there. Far too many props. Maybe he's going for props in the second row (LMS, Peacock, Moz, Crabtree).

Interesting that Riley hasn't made it.

No Leon Pryce either?

Joel Tomkins should be in, he's streets ahead of Manu, who is also 7 years older. The inclusion of Sykes is another joke, McNamara is starting to worry me already with these two selections.

It equally surprises and disappoints me that Carvell is picked ahead of Paul Wood.

[size=25I was thinking the same about Morley and Carvell

He is worrying me though with some selections, cant say im going to be overly excited about the 4 nations yet again. We do have some decent players but it wont count for much with this idiot in charge...

Got nothing against Manu, but he isnt English end of story. I wouldnt want to see any of the Wigan overseas players in the England team if they could. What is interesting is that none of the top 3 English try scorers have made it into the squad, how often does that happen?

It was just a get together maybe Tomkins could not make it there is no Eastmond neither,and to include Manu is stupid Tickle must be gutted.

Westwood should not be used as an impact second rower.

Eastmond is there. So are a whole host of injured players - Bridge, Sykes, Scruton....

Sorry mate he is,but lets not forget this Squad will be trimed to 23 when the party leaves i think a lot off them names are to make up the team for the benefit game in Whitehaven.

Paul Sykes. The Emile Heskey of Rugby League!

But the point is there are better players left out then some of those selected...

That's a bit harsh on Heskey...
