I see Keith Senior might be coming out of retirement according to the rlEngland RL site.rl If he declares himself available I wouldn't give Gleeson a game anyway to be honest, might have been worth keeping in the squad for injuries though.

Harrison shown in the world cup last year he can play at a very high level, he is far, far better than Tomkins and Bridge has been immense this season and has alot more utility value than Gleeson.

I like Harrison, I think he's very underrated and will be a good player for years to come. He hits hard and doesn't give many free yards away. Has great potential IMO and deserves his England call up, even if he doesn't make the 17 the experience will help.

I think Harrison deserves his place in the side, been really impressed with him this season (would take him at Wigan over Joel).

But Bridge over Gleeson How Stupid

I thought Joel might have got in the training squad. Surprsed Gleeson isn't in although you can blame Smith for looking to the futue although I don't think Shenton is the answer.

Gleeson was one of our best performers at the world cup

I'd have said the same thing, big mobile forwards - however Joel gives away far too many penalties.

As much as i cant understand why Gleesons not been picked im glad he hasnt, his first pre season at Wigan, under the new coach he will be raring to go next year, cant wait!

They'd walk all over Gleeson aswell.

They'd walk over Bridge AND Gleeson put together

It's true actually, and it's not like he needs the experience and it will do him any good! He has done it all before. Sam Tomkins, Lockers and Hansen will all benefit from the experience but Gleeson wouldn't, the pre-season will be better for him!

Inglis got a hat-trick last time he played left centre against Gleeson at right centre.

It's good to see plenty of Pie-eaters recognising that Gleeson's omission is surprising but understandable and that Harrison and Bridge are both excellent young players.

If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got.

Rather than trying to score points I'd be more worried about how WE are going to fare against the Australians and world champions.

We are going to struggle desperately. The dearth of world class talent in the Soopah Doopah League is going to be totally exposed.
