Don't understand the big downer on Bridge and Harrison, both have been very good this year IMO.

Harrison is the type of player we need in the back row at that level - he hits hard and looks to impose himself.

People whinge about the same old failure backs being picked, but then whinge when Bridge is given a shot ahead of Gleeson, despite Gleeson having a very quiet season

Bridge over Gleeson is a joke

We are trying to improve the national team and we do things like this.

Also, Ben Harrison is in the squad so why is Paul Prescott not in their?

Because they play different positions?

I dont see the superiority there, i personally havnt jumped on the Price/Civoneceva bandwagon. Waterhouse is average in my opinion but Smith Watmough and Hindmarsh are undoubtedly class, even though Hindmarsh wasnt deemed good enough for NSW.

Morley, Roby, Peacock, Burgess, Ellis, OLoughlin

vs

Price, Smith, Civoneceva, Hindmarsh, Watmough, Gallen

No contest at hooker but every other position i would prefer the English player.

Well that illustrates why you support Wigan....better get to specsavers and remove those rose tinted specs.Harrison has been in great form and is going to be a great player. Come back when your team has won something.Tell you what lets put all the wigan players that are eligible inthe team and lets see them choke again.
Prescott has been outstanding for you and is unfortunate that the position he plays is well covered.

Joel tomkins is a better forward than harrison, gleeson is a better centre than bridge.

That is not with rose tinted glasses.

Wire win one CC and now they are the big dogs in town!

You didn’t even make the play offs but yet your trying to say that your players deserve a shot at the England team??? Get real mate.

Harrison has had a good season but he’s no where near the level of Ellis, Burgess, Lockers, Westwood, Westerman, JJB & Wilkin or even Tickle. At the end of day he’s only in there because he plays for Warrington.

Tomkins is a fine player, but I think he has too many errors and penalties in his game at the moment, he needs to work on that IMO. Harrison also hits harder in defence IMO.



He was, but I've been more impressed with Bridge than Gleeson this season by a fair margin. Which is saying something as I rate Gleeson and think Bridge is a kn*b.

Anyone who thinks are pack is anywhere near the aussies pack needs their head testing. We are light years behind them, hell, we struggled against a load of part timers from PNG. We hear it before every international against the aussies "our pack is better", then our pack ends up being smashed by them.

it is just peoples opinions. i for one think that harrison and bridge deserve their places in the squad. both have had brilliant years. however it is only a train on squad. many wiganers think that harrison and bridge should not be in it, however, if they both played for wigan it would be different and would be callin them to be included. gleeson has done nothing to warrant a place in the squad and to be fair it is only tomkins and o loughlin who deserve and probably gaz hock if he was still palying. joel tomkins is not a better forward then ben harrison. this is my opinion and you lot think that tomkins is a better forward. of course everyone going to stick up for their club players.
