Aussies dont have to and will not release players 4 this game as its not an international so no widdop burgess ellis et al

Wouldn't have Widdop, but I certainly wouldn't have Rangi Chase (I hate how he's even considered) and Sinfield (an out of form loose forward) in the halves. It's appaling.

Why continue with a the Sinfield-Chase partnership, it obviously doesn't work. Can understand why Charnley is in there but Ablett? What a joke that is.

Its pleasing in a way that Tickle has been recognised, but I would rather no Hull players were involved in this meaningless fixture. The chance of picking up an injury and the benefits of a MacBanana coaching masterclass are not that appealing.

charnley could well end up with 40 or more this year but briscoes still a better all round wingman

I'd have picked Goulding.

Tomkins
Charnley
Goulding
Atkins
Hall
Chase
Brough
Peacock
Roby
Mossop
Hock
Tickle
O'Loughlin

Crabtree
Carvell
McIllorum
Farrell

Shocking decision to leave out Briscoe, although I'm glad he did. We don't need injuries on the back of an rfl money spinning event.

Tomkins
Briscoe
Goulding

Good call leaving Sinfield and Burrow out and having Brough in. Replace Charnley with Briscoe and your spot on there.

I also think Lynch should get the nod ahead of Peacock but as he's not even in the squad that would be a long shot!

A 2nd rower in the centre....a loose forward at 6 and a 6 at 7....Mcbannana...you are a complete bell-end

I agree Ablett shouldn't be centre but some second rowers can slot into that position depending if their agile and strong defensively. The only thing Ablett knows is to give facials and be a dirty player. Starting to dislike him more than Bailey!! As for a 6 playing 7, that's not out of the ordinary. They have identical roles and a 13 playing 6 isn't to bad. Whiting played 6 didn't he? Is Gentle a bell end? I agree that there are a few dodgy selections but I wouldn't call him to much for playing people in differen positions (apart from Ablett).

Well done Ticks for playing. As for Briscoe, not surprised as he has been playing poor. Not as poor as certain Leeds players though. TBF the international game is a joke in regards of England selections. The RFL are a joke and need to take similar approaches to the aussies.

Tomkins
Charnley
Goulding
Atkins
Briscoe
Chase (Don't like him being there, but can't think of many good English 6's better)
Brough
Lynch
Roby
Crabtree
Tickle
Hock
O'Loughlin

Sinfield
Mossop
McIlorum
Jones-Buchanan

Briscoe would score 30+ tries in ANY team as long as his centre would pass to him
