| Honestly can't believe it. The squad on the whole just shows how bad a coach McNamara is; he's picking on reputation, not form and who deserves to be in there.
Not just because Micky and Fuzzy aren't in there, I've not got my bitter hat on, but common surely it's common sense to pick the current most potent centre-wing partnership in the league? Charnley isn't top try scorer just off his own bat. Darrell Goulding more than deserves a place in that squad.
As for the Burrow inclusion, I can understand that. He can turn a game off the bench. Surely there's room for McIlorum as well though? Has to be the current form player in his position and he gets better every week. Can't understand why he was in the last squad but is now playing even better and isn't in this one. Complete lack of any consistency and awareness.
All in all, poor effort McBanana. Very poor.

| I wish we had Martin Dermot in this current Wigan team, he'd love working with these forwards, now we has a clever hooker who had zero pace, just a great rugby brain. Micky Mac looks similar in some ways and I hope he can become something like what Dermot was, he was like an extra half back involved in every play.

Quote: sally cinnamon "Remember a few years ago there was that talk that Super League clubs should be paid a fee or given salary cap exemption for each player they produce that is in the England squad (or GB as it was then). From what I remember Leeds and Wigan were quite keen on it (for obvious reasons). How political would it have made the squad selection now though....if Wigan were losing out on money for McIlorum not being in the squad etc.'"
Erm, I'd [iimagine[/i that it would be about as political as it is now, given the Elite Representative Squad Dispensation Allowance provided for in the 2012 Salary Cap Regulations.
Unless, of course it became overwhelmingly obvious that Wigan where the biggest beneficiaries of this allowance; in which case it would automatically become incredibly political; and the latest RL Fans cause célèbre with 50 page threads on the VT and other such nonsense.

| Not read through the whole eight pages so this may have been mentioned previously.
Goulding has been wearing strapping to his thigh for a number of matches now and this suggests that he is carrying some kind of strain.
It maybe that SW has asked for him to be rested (yes, after asking for his inclusion) as there is another Exiles game when he could be selected and played.
