| You mention Sinfield as one who didn't make an impact at international level but he was picked out by the great Wally Lewis as one to build the England team around. More importantly he got his chance despite perceived weaknesses particularly around his build and lack of pace. Marshy has been the best winger this year. I doubt any reasonable judge would argue against that. In fact he has outscored Tom Johnstone by more than 2 tries to 1! Now I'm not arguing against Johnstone being picked; far from it. I'm just saying any team "picked on form" would include the best winger in the comp, and that's currently Marshall.
Obviously, then, it isn't a team picked on form which then becomes an entirely separate discussion.

| Quote: jonh "I’m not sure why you’re replying to someone else but referencing me as though I’ve said it……
Burrow wasn’t a great international player, Robinson was but he had the athleticism to back it up. Langer was a half playing in a different era.
It’s down to style not form his style is deemed by Wane it seems not to see him selected, same for Bennett.
Someone mentioned Jerry and Hall who were incumbent wingers. I actually think they were/are very similar to Miski and Marshall in style however they had more impact in their prime at the line mainly due to body weight. I just think Marshall lacks that extra power in contact that those too had and the natural athleticism of the others selected over him which is why he is missing out.'"
I'm not. I said that's my point with Jon, as in the point I was making during our conversation...

| In the same week that SOO was played at the iconic MCG in front of 90,000 fans we have England v France that is not televised on free to air TV or Sky. It is also a curtain raiser before the Toulouse game.
Wane may not even be able to make it and Andy Last was late back into the UK meaning that the senior players had to lead the first training session themselves.
Moreover they are flying Ryanair today and there has been a 4 hr delay. They are also only receiving £250 each.
If you don't laugh you'll cry

| Hoping our players came through this match unscathed, that would be the only positive from what can only be described as a catastrophic shambles. As a UK rugby league supporter I'm struggling to remember a lower point for the sport.
