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

When Maurice sold me to Leeds something changed, it just not the same, the passion inside me just wasn’t the same as running out at Central park for my hometown club.
We need a change of culture here; we don’t want to be just happy with playing ok on Saturday at St Helens.
Ill make sure that from now on things will change, that players will be under pressure and will train a lot harder than they have before.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

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

At the end of the year I reckon the team should look something like this
Sam
Josh
Goulding
Reed
Hall
Widdop
Chase
Mossop
Roby
Graham
Hock
Ellis
Locky
Burgess
Macca
Crabtree
Westwood

| Quote: 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. |

Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif |

| Wilkin? JJB? Peacock? Ablett? Why not go the whole hog and pick Wellens instead of Sam, Gardner instead of Charnley and Morley instead of Mossop and see how they go against the Aussies and Kiwis, oh hang on, I think they tried and failed too.
McIllorum knows what he needs to do, basically McNamamara has an ego and no man management skills to deal with him 
For me without the NRL players I'd go with.
1 - Tomkins
2 - Charnley
3 - Goulding (Watkins)
4 - Atkins (Reed
5 - Hall
6 - Brough
7 - Lomax
8 - Mossop
9 - McIllorum
10 -Lynch (Graham)
11 - Hock
12 - Tickle (Ellis)
13 - O'Loughlin
14 - Eden
15 - Roby
16 - Patrick (Burgess)
17 - Crabtree (Westwood)
Add Burgess if he's fit at end of year and whoever does best in Widdop and Eden all year. |

Well to my absolute astonishment and disbelief Leroy Cudjoe has been picked over Darrell Goulding. This is despite Cudjoe playing in a Huddersfield team that is on a well documented downward slide in this last month & Goulding playing his part in the best on form centre/wing partnership in Super League who are on an equally well reported upward spiral. Josh Charnley is the runaway leading try scorer & his inside centre is on red hot form in Daz Goulding. All the above are facts. Statistically Daz blows him out the water too and not pick on reputation or who his old pals are. Carl Ablett? Still religiously picking a 35-year old ancient relic in Jamie Peacock as captain? Jon Wilkin?
The whole international setup is typical British BS. We picked a man who was evidently grossly incompetent at club level for the highest position in English RL with the requirements that he had to be full-time and he had to be British & we're now stuck with arguably the most talented group of players we've had in the last decade with a realistic chance of perhaps winning the World Cup being led by an utterly incapable & inexperienced Yorkshire moron.

[size=50:2fqgwsdo]"The mid-to-late 1980s and early-to-mid-1990s is the most successful period for the club to date, however, even without this glorious trophy laden period, Wigan would still have won more trophies than any other professional British rugby league club due to their successes throughout the club's history."[/size:2fqgwsdo]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_52674.jpg |

| Quote: tank123 "Wigan would beat the best team out of that squad.'"
On current form Wigan would beat the best team out of that squad by 20 points.
Wilkin, JJB (on current form), Sinfield and Peacock shouldn't be anywhere near an England jersey.
The omission of McIlorum and Goulding is astonishing (but very good news for Wigan). |

Is anyone really surprised he has picked the squad he has?
Its been proven loads of times he is clueless. How he can pick Peacock JJB, Sinfiled, Burrow, Wilkin. Its pointless we know they either arnt good enough or way way past their best in peacocks case.
Im actually quite glad, the fewer of our players he can "coach" the better. His idea is clearly the scooter hooker and hope for the best!
