why ??

i have to agree, how houghton hasnt made the list is beyond me...especialy when certain others are in there......
will be interesting to see what team play the " overseas select" team if that ever happens.....

Surprised Danny did not make it, he deserved to imo, hope he keeps working hard I am sure his time will come.

Well done to Westerman

Do I really need to explain it to you?

If so u clearly aren't aware of a talented player when u see one

McNamara knows the time the games come round Houghton will be knackered playing 80 mins every weeks could do with the rest.

very aware of his talent however there is a lot of time left for rep hons and he has more important things on his plate at present, oh and for your info SM has already given him a "what he needs to do" pep talk to get him into the England set up and has told him he is very much in his mind !!!
enjoy!!

Macc wants Houghton fully fit when he takes over

The more I see of Houghton, the less convinced I get,that he has the alround game to be a good hooker,think he'll be ok as an impact hooker when defences are tired,but that's it,hope I'm wrong,but time will tell.

Thought Will Sharp would have done enough to get into the squad too, 3 tries in 3 in a team that's only scored 9 tries all season should have been enough to get in the squad IMO.

brett ferres in the elite training squad you are having a laugh, the rest of the squad seems about right and i like the knights squad aswell even though i think houghton should of been in there but danny does have alot to improve

Lunt and Moore are the safer options.

how can danny brough now play for england????

Welham in the elite squad!! Even Rovers fans must be shocked at that. My god, the national game is in crisis.

I like houghton but I honestly don't see him as international standard right now. He'll be knackered by 25 if we keep playing him for 80 minutes a week
