I know it sounds like it but I really don't think I'm being biased. Everything I've said is backed up by what he's done on the pitch. I think he's much better than Briscoe and McGillvary, he was the best winger last night and the previous week.

Right - go tell that to Mannering, Marshall, Foran, Johnson, Vatuvei etc.

If he was fit to play and then got injured during an international which means he misses the start of next season then that's just tough luck and something clubs have to put up with.
Picking a player he knows is injured is just stupid.

It is indeed and it's time RL fans in general appreciated it. I get fed up of fans saying that they don't want player x,y,z from their club selected. In general they are the fans who don't attend the Internationals anyway, but moan most if the team performance is poor.

However, if Sams not fit enough to play in the series he shouldn't be picked.

Sam's not in the 19, but Lockers, Bateman, Williams, Burgess, Farrell all make it. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/34595311
