| Quote ="Stanley Unwin"From the RFL website:
Tony Smith said: “The first group of players to be included in the Elite Training Squad programme are a mixture of youth and experience from a number of different clubs. I believe the players selected so far reflects that not only are we planning for this autumn's Four Nations tournament but also the 2013 World Cup which we hope to stage in this country.
"More players will be added to the programme throughout the season and the aim is to provide an elite training environment for a wide range of players from a variety of different clubs who, in turn, will benefit from their players being involved.'"

Lots of 3/4s would have made it more galling, fewer makes it less. Still cack, like. |

Ouch!
I would expect the likes of Fox, Smith, Hodgson, Hall and Gardner to battle it out for wing spots. Smith, Briscoe and Wellens for the FB spot. Yeaman, Gleeson for the centres.
Also in the forwards JJB, Lynch and Hock. |

| Quote ="carl_spackler"Don't see the point in Briscoe's call up. It's not a final squad, so surely the sensible thing is to see if/how he comes back later in the season and add him then? I would have thought going with Fox or even someone like Lawrence would be better for now, it's not as if it's a guarantee of them being included later in the year.
And I still don't agree with picking a Samoan.'"
Pretty much how i see it.
I also don't see the sense in including Morley and Peacock in this Elite train on squad. We all know what they are capable of and i don't see them being part of the 2013 World Cup Squad. In fact i don't actually get why this squad has been announced at all!!  |

Please stop going on about Smith; there is trolling and then there is outright mental cruelty. If S. Briscoe and Fox miss out, I could stand Wellens at FB, with Hodgson and Hall on the wing, but not Smith. That would make the baby Jesus cry.
Yeaman now is it? 
Smith in the centres, where he is playing for Leeds - that could work. |

Played more games at fullback than centre, including a MOTM performance in the GF. Just try and hold back the tears if Fox does not get picked, again |

It's good to see Smith has grown some balls and finally got rid of the deadwood , well some of it. I'm pleased with the first selection of players also.
I wonder if the young kid from Whitehaven (McNally) might be in with a shout?.

Agreed, like both Atkins and Shenton.
Liked Atkins since he broke onto the scene. Good dangerous player |

Its only a core central contract squad, guess he thinks there are 3 or 4 fullbacks in the running. |
