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



1 - Widdop
2 - Briscoe
3 - Atkins
4 - Shenton
5 - Hall
6 - Brown
7 - Tomkins
8 - Graham
9 - Roby
10 - Morley (c)
11 - Ellis
12 - J.Tomkins
13 - O'Loughlin

14 - Fielden
15 - Burgess
16 - Robinson
17 - Griffin

My bench is impact, I rate Westwood put against the Aussies we need more than a grunt workhorse second row we need ones who are capable of going the full length and scoring tries.

Quote: JordanWarriors "but who else can we put at full back? Tomkins is the only other alternative, but we're down to bare bones at 6, Widdop might not have much first team experience, but he's the best option at 1 we have right now in these circumstances, he'll do fine at FB for England'"


i know we dont have alot of choice but how is someone who has played 3 first grade games all year the automatic pick id rather have sam at fb and play someone else in the halves people are assuming because he plays in the NRL he is class but he isnt proven and isnt tested we need a strong fb and 2 excellent wingers against the aussies i guess i just dont get fuss about him hope he proves me wrong

Who would you put in the halves then? Widdop is much less of a gamble at FB than anybody else we could replace Sam with in the halves.

Robinson and Brown in the halves is just simply not good enough. We need quality players and ive seen enough of them two to know they wont get us anywhere against the Aussies imo. Widdop has the potential to be quality and thats why he is getting a chance imo.

the fact Club is in there instead of Gleeson shows how clueless he is. The thought of Robinson and Brown in the halves for an international makes me chuckle.

In place of Crabtree (within the squad). There is more than enough cover in the props. Crabtree is gash !

Having Farrell in the International set up will be of more benefit in the long run than Big Daddy. Farrell has the making of a World Class forward - Crabtree does not !

I Agree with you about Crabtree, do not rate him at all, only rated because the BBC make a big deal out of him because his grandad was a wrestler.

As good as Gleeson has been this year as someone who spent a small fortune following the 2006 Lions tour I would never pick him for a GB/England tour ever again.

But what have you seen of him he has played 3 games all year this is what I don't get if he played for hull would you say the same?

I don't think Robinson or brown are good enough either but they have played together all year in a team that finished 80 mins from the grand final

I just think widdop is a bit over hyped because of where he is playing

Peacock and Mcguire would both be in apart from those pesky torn knee ligaments.

Who else would you have in? Sinfield?
