For try scoring maybe, but as a complete centre, he is off the pace of Bridge, Atkins, Reed and Shenton. And sadly, all of them are miles off the pace of GI, Hodges, Kenny-Dowell, Tonga etc.

At least a 'turnstyle' would offer some resistance.

Bridge is the form loose forward in SL.

Am I missing something? Morley isn't in anyone's team !!!!

Has he announced his retirement, and I've missed it, or somet !!!!

Tomkins
Briscoe Yeaman Reed/Shenton Hall/Atkins/Foster (We need a goal kicker)
Widdop Myler/Brough
Morley Roby Graham
Burgess Ellis
Lockers

Sinfield (interchange 9) Carvell Westwood undecided on the last prop. Mossop is looking good IMO.

Thats the problem we've had with past GB/England teams where a lot of the regular names at international level were picked on name rather than being picked on their current form, the 2 best props in the league in recent times have been Carvell and Graham.

I wouldn't pick Moz on the bench as he's more of a starting prop than an impact prop, you want quicker more agile players to come on from the bench once the initial sting has gone out of the game to take advantage of players not being as fresh as they were at the start, its the same reasons why you wouldn't want to start Ben Westwood from the bench as he's at his best when mixing it with the opposition rather than being an impact player.

Both him and Moz are relentless at what they do and they both do it really well, its just we have a couple of props that are in better form at the min and the England team should be picked on form.

Anyone even thinking of putting Foster in the England team needs to go for lay down..!
Fantastic goal kicker and thats it...

He's got great footwork.

Absolutely brilliant finisher with good footwork too. Has more pace than people give him credit for but certainly doesn't have genuine pace like Briscoe.

Not better as an overall package then the likes of McGilvary & Briscoe who I think are better. Personally, I'd have him over Ryan Hall but I wouldn't pick him for the England team at this stage in his career.

Why aren't people putting Widdop in there? Been fantastic for a side thats near the top in the NRL.

Lomax (as hooker/half back)
Morley/Mossop (if AM manages to return this year)
Crabtree (he has troubled the Aussies, and although he hasn't been great this year I can't think of any other decent props that would be likely to cause even a little bit of trouble)
Joel Tomkins (offers some utility in the backs as well as being a pretty decent 2nd rower!)

Obviously no burgess as he's injured, and I don't know much about the centre playing in the NRL who qualifies for us.

IMO, the only spots left for consideration are the centre positions, Yeaman is untested and Bridge isn't secured in the side yet.

BJB and Briscoe should be our wingers, two quality young talents. Although BJB is inexperienced, he just seem to have that extra bit of quality than the likes of Hall (imo)
