Definitely needs to be England's number 7, but then when i think of it is there any other realistic choices? Dodd maybe but i don't think he has shown the form for it this season.
A player that seems to get mentioned a lot in this discussion as being somebody to pick instead of Smith is Mikey Lewis, but to me he is an out-and-out 6, and Williams is also at his best when playing the 6 role. To me Lewis and Williams are fighting for the same spot and i would choose Williams without a second thought, both of them together would create an imbalance and lack of leadership.
Plus Williams and Smith have both played for Wigan, so that makes them an automatic pick for Wane anyway
