20333_1393344959.gif 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.

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!

| 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.'"
Cracking post
I was going to go to the game next week but certainly wont now after seeing that squad. McNamara is a joke and does not deserve the job and I will not go again whilst he is in charge.
Whilst Goulding and McIlorum not being selected is good from a Wigan point of view I actually really feel for them as they couldnt have done more this season and deserve to be picked. Goulding has been the best centre in Super League and McIlorum the best hooker and I just hope this knock back it doesnt knock their confidence and form. Even Wane has consistently highlighted how good these two players have been this season and how they have been amongst our best and most consistent players and praise like this from him does not come lightly.
McNamara out.

| Disgusting comments from McNamara saying he's given Mcilorum some things to work on.
If I was IL I'd be very tempted to withdraw all Wigan players from the England set up.
Very worrying he's trying to ’coach' our players seeing his failure at Bradford

| Why is everyone surprised?
McNamara was totally out of his depth at Bradford winning only two out of his last seventeen games. Bradford fans more than any other supporters know how useless he is.
This squad selection just confirms what we all knew already about McNamara.

indeed
if its anybody who needs a rest, it's Mickey Mac. He's made most tackles/most carries out of anybody in the team, a rest would be good for him at this point I feel
