| 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.

Funny, I don't remember that proposal at all (or Wigan and Leeds agreeing on anything with regard to the salary cap)
But even if I did, in this context it would just be hypothetical silliness and totally irrelevant to the main issue which is that, yet again, England are going to miss out on form players because a head coach who isn't even good enough to manage a club team has got it embarrassingly wrong.

| 'There are one or two things he needs to fix up'
Does McNamara want him to completely change his game or something?

Yes play for Leeds. Seems the only way in play poorly as you can and still make the England sqaud.

| Goulding is the form centre and McIlorum is the form Hooker. Both should have started with Roby off the bench.

| Quote jonh="jonh"As someone who has valued International Rugby over club rugby I am very annoyed at this selection.
Goulding and Micky have been 2 of the outstanding players regardless of position in SL.
I crave an competitive international game, but whilst we have our current coaching set up that will never happen.
Disgusted is not the word, worst thing is this Mug is going to lead us toward the next world cup before he gets the push at least.
Stunning how someone as clearly limited as him at club level is given arguably the most important job in rugby league.'"
Agree with all of that but can't say I'm that surprised. The RFL have a "jobs for the boys" attitude to the England coaching jobs, so it's at least consistent for McNamara to do the same when he's selecting his squad.
