Can somebody post the squad. Blocked in work that link.

Maybe we're all being a little myopic here, about our own pllayers.
Let's face it, Atkins came up well short 12 months ago. Despite his excellent season for us this year, last year's letdown will have gone against him
Myler, not good enough yet, v Aussies/Kiwis. Maybe in a year or so's time.

As for some of the others, Ablett...RL's equivalent of Blackpool Rock, he's got 'AVERAGE' running right the way through him.
Bailey. Is this some kind of joke. The Aussies will pinpoint him, not for just being poor, but for his notorious short fuse. An accident waiting to happen.
Sinfield. His decent games of Test rugby can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Great SL player though.
McIlorum. This IS a joke, right?
Congratulations McBanana. You've now just elevated yourself to the position of Britains Top Funnyman. More jokes in an hour than TimVine, and making us laugh for more time than the duration of a Ken Dodd gig. DIRE. Last one out, turn the lights off.

At least Atkins will now have a full pre-season to prepare for next year

Ablett
Bailey
Briscoe
Carvell
Chase
Cudjoe
Ellis
Graham
Hall
Heighington
Jones-Bishop
Jones-Buchanan
Lomax
McIllorum
Morley
Peacock
Reed
Roby
Sinfield
S Tomkins
Westwood
Widdop
Wilkin
Yeaman

I guess Roby is doing the full 80 then. Using a squad place for water carrier is a bit daft.

I thought Wilkin was due to have ankle surgery?

Lefty, from a Wire point of view, only Atkins I think has been unfairly left out. IMO Myler & Harrison have not been good enough in their respective positions for a jersey this time round.

Atkins not even named in Knights squad? seems strange.

So with that I'd go;

Tomkins

Hall
Reed
Yeaman
Briscoe

Chase
Lomax

Graham
Roby
Peacock

Ellis
Westwood
Sinfield

Subs
Morley
Carvell
Heighington
Widdop

As much as i've said Atkins isn't good enough for England, he's a heck of a lot better than Carl Ablett!

I also don't understand how Ryan Bailey is in, aside from him being a complete tool, he's a very average player. I'd have had Mossop in ahead of him every time.

and where's Bridge as well?

Bridge injured.

Bridge + Burrow have both withdrawn injured I believe.

7 Leeds players? Ridiculous. Regardless of the fact they won the GF, they were the 5th best team over the course of the season.

Should have a warm up game... ETS v Knights. I think the result may end up suprising quite a few people, and embarass the banana himself.

It's a glowing reflection on the sorry state of international rugby when so many players are pulling out of representing their country. I understand that clubs pay the bills for the players but clear out op can wait until after getting rep honours (if it's still thought to be an honour)

For what it's worth, I'd probably go with

Tomkins
Briscoe
Reed
Yeaman
Hall
Chase
Widdop
Graham
Roby
Peacock
Westwood
Ellis
Heighington

Sinfield
Carvell
Morley
Wilkin

Ben Jones Bishop? Sweet Jesus, surely Mac is pulling our todger with that one! Although I doubt he'd get the nod over Hall and Briscoe.

McLlorum? I'm not even going to bother with that inclusion because quite frankly, its bizarre!

Is Burrow injured? He has been sensational since Wembley and surely must be in the squad? He's the type of player who could score world class tries against the Kiwi's and Oz.
