| It's all well and good to say it will benefit the club but for players it is the pinnacle of their career to play for their country. Players who are snubbed may feel if they played for Wigan or Leeds or an NRL club they would have a better chance of gaining international recognition. Be careful what you wish for.

Exactly, you asked me what they would play for? SL clubs have lots of players that would never get to represent their country, but do a good job.

Wow.
Surprised Darius Boyd isn't in the squad.

| Just staring in disbelief at that squad. Quite incredible really. Looks like it's been drawn out of a hat.
6 from Leeds !!!! It's beggars belief . Bennett must have been reading quotes from McDermott after match interviews rather than the Leeds forum on here.
I think it may just motivate our lads to push on even harder. They deserve the recognition.
Overall I'm disgusted.

| they've included every english based player who was involved in the last test series, hence the inclusion of all the injured ones (ward, briscoe etc.) plus about 6 new faces. possibly at this early stage they don't want to leave out anyone who played their part in a successful test series (continuity and all that).
and yes, that's the best possible reason i can come up with ![Very Happy icon_biggrin.gif](images/smilies//icon_biggrin.gif)

| He's not good enough for England, not to be be confused with he's not a good player because he is, but he's in a position in which we have world class talent.
Roby isn't out of form, Saints are out of form, Roby runs his blood to water and in an England side he'll still be the best hooker in the squad.
Houghton is just unfortunate that he's playing at a time when there are simply better options than him.

Houghton has outplayed Roby several times this season. It depends whether the Aussie picks on form or reputation.

Every coach of the England/GB team in recent years has picked players on reputation rather than form and each of them has failed. Time to pick players who are playing well IMO. The inclusion of players like ward, amor and walmsley are laughable

| Why are people calling it a squad? It's not a squad. This was a mid season meet up.
Plenty of time for players to stake a claim for a Four Nation place. It doesn't take place fr another four months.

| Roby will be in a better squad, like i said Saints are out of form not Roby.
Roby is easily the best hooker in an England shirt and i include Hodgson in that.
Those 2 will be the main guys, Daz Clarke will also struggle and he's been easily one of Wire's top 3 performers this season.
