Is Widdop seeing game time with Melbourne?

Nay

Sadly not but will be at 5/8 next year replacing finch, i think as experience he should go but im quite against putting certain leeds/saints players in the mix again as they've failed to live up to their club 'reputations' in previous series,thats why for me young hungry players should be taken and given a go, we can beat the aussies in the forwards its just the backs i worry about.

1, tompkins
2, Briscoe
3, Yeaman
4, Bridge
5, Smith
6, sinfield
7, eastmond/danny mc
8, Morley
9, danny houghton

13, oloughlin

subs from
Manu

Crabtree
J Tompkins
Fielden

Some good forward options and Briscoe, Tomkins and Eastwood in the backs.

But the threequarter international line up is just about average top 4 SL standard. Bridge? Smith? Hall?

We havn't produced a world class centre or winger since Keith Senior had hair.

I'd go with

Tomkins
Briscoe
Shenton
Bridge
Hall
Maguire
Eastmond
Graham
Sinfield
Morley
Burgess
Ellis
O'Loughlin

Crabtree
Fielden
Manu
Roby

With Widdop, Fox, Atkins, Myler, Lynch, Lms, Robinson, Tomkins and Westerman.

Christ. Give us a clue who you support, I'm struggling to work it out based on that post.

Brisco will not play, he has done ok this year but nothing to say he is ready to play again for England. Had the worst game ever for England possibly the worst in the past 30 years..

He could be good with a better coach or Club.

As for yeaman you are pizzed,

Manu O my god

Mac has no clue who to pick either but even he is not that daft//or is he?

Your a idiot.

I didnt think it was possible to pack so much fail in so few words but you proved me wrong.

Funny how it wasn't his fault at all in the 4 nations, yet he was made the scapegoat for leeds' superduper duo of mcguire and smith? Both those players are over rated and their bad play an defensive positioning cost briscoe a dent in his reputation, thats why over rated 'great' super league players need to be brought down a peg or two and dropped from the england set up once and for all or as a country we will never progressive with these hanger ons.
