i dont understand Lee Smith being included, if we are gearing for the future, then why pick a player who will be playing for the Gargoyle at Wasps next year.

Apart from that, good on Che Smith picking form players and no being scared to pick youth instead of has beens

IMO I'd love to see

Shaun Briscoe (Hull Kingston Rovers)
Ryan Hall (Leeds)
Michael Shenton (Castleford)
Kyle Eastmond (St Helens)
Lee Smith (Leeds)
Sam Tomkins (Wigan)
Richard Myler (Salford)
Jamie Peacock (Leeds, captain)
Scott Moore (Huddersfield)
Adrian Morley (Warrington)
Sam Burgess (Bradford)
Gareth Ellis (Wests Tigers)
Kevin Sinfield (Leeds)

Garreth Carvell (Warrington)
James Graham (St Helens)
Sean O'Loughlin (Wigan)
James Roby (St Helens)

Young, fresh and pacey back-line with a experienced and brutal pack and forward line!

Edited for accuracy

I like the squad.

One or two calls I'd disagree with, but I think it's a refrshing squad. I'm happy to see Lee Smith in there too, I know that he's off to RU, but if the squad rewards performances of the last year he deserves to be in there, he was one of our better World Cup performers too.

If you've a backline that contains Hall, Smith, Shenton, Tomkins & Myler or Eastmond, then you'll carry a threat, a threat from anywhere on the field and I think to match Australia & NZ you have to have that, it looks a quicker squad than them of the past.

It was a tournament that I was pretty non-plussed about, it's certainly changed that, I think it's a vibrant squad, should be interesting to watch, see how folk go.

great to see the same old dead legs dropped...fresh blood is whats needed..i applaud tony smith for having the balls to do this..

The selection of Lee Smith is a disgrace.

Too many Warrington players in the squad IMO.

Why is Paul Sykes included, and Myler ahead of Rob Burrow?

I hope England do well in the 4 Nations, mainly for our coaches sake as he has certainly left himself open for criticism if things go wrong.

Have you seen the four players, though? Would you not have picked Wayne Rooney for England when he was at Everton, just based upon Everton's league position?

Fully agree with you, We have never won anything with Wellens, pryce, senior gleeson and the other players he has left out. Nothing against these players because for years they have been the best at their position, but its time we tried somethong new.

I think its good that these youngsters are given a chance and TS has shown he is willing to give people a chance instead of picking the same old same old.
