Never gives a stuff about international games personally.

Can't get into it. I don't necessarily support rugby league as a whole either. I support Wakey and I still get the excitement and anticipation on the terraces at BV.

So although it would have been nice to see a Wakey player or 2 there I really don't care that much.

I'd like to see the re-introduction of team GB.

I agree that the likes of Chase shouldn't be in the team, clearly not English. Makes a mockery of it all.

If we are to have a level playing field anyone that qualifies on residency and is good enough should be selected. The Aussies and Kiwi's have been poaching players for years from different country's so why shouldn't we.

Brough was never going to be in given he stated he had made available for Scotland. I don't mind his lack if selection as despite being a stand out in SL when he has come up against the bigger teams in games that count he has gone missing.

Kirmond is a tough one. The pack is certainly our strongest part of the squad. For me it is a direct shoot out between Kirmond and Ablett. I assume he has gone for Ablett because he can cover centre. I think if Reed was fit Kirmond would have got in. Farrell is in excellent form again and I think due to his style is not in direct competition with Kirmond.

I would have preferred to see Luke Burgess in over Hill, but all in all I think the squad is not far off as good as we could have hoped for.

Personally regardless who is selected cannot wait for the World Cup.

only a wigan fan could shout up farrel he will be chicken feed to the aussies im afraid ,apologies will be there if he provesa me wrong

Farrell had a 100% tackle success rate for something ridiculous like the first 10 games of the year.

He also lead the clean break chart for a similar period.

Wigan this year unlike previous years have been conditioned to peak and the whole teams form dropped off for the second half of the season. As they have been brought back to peak form he has been back to that kind of form.

Will he get in the 17? Not sure, it's probably between Westwood and him. Maybe Saturday will be the deciding factor of who becomes the leader in the race for the shirt.

The only brother born in Wakey mmm...

You can throw as many stats as you like about Farrel I'm talking about how the Aussies and kiwis will handle him and in my opinion he will be easy meat for them

you're joking !! been busy not seen the squad but cannot believe he is in there he is a liability

Liam Farrell is too small IMO, same for Kirmond not international standard I do think the pack picks itself and that is our strong point the backs are what I think is the problem.

Jack Reed injury is a massive blow for England in the centre.

Yes

Totally agree on that one O'loghlin.?Has his leg suddenly got match fit

If a big NRL Club came in and offered £150k for Danny Kirmond I'd let him go his international career would then also take off and we'd be out of the smelly stuff.

Great player and should at least be in the England Squad.
