Tom Briscoe and Tickle aren't international standard. Tom Briscoe may be one day. Our back line are in for a torrid time unfortunately.

Agree,and I hope Shaun has a cracker.

Like Peter Fox you mean...??

To be honest who else could they have picked on the wing?

What's up with Raynor?

To busy off the field

He's sh*t.

Surely not? Afterall (I can't be bothered trawling for a quote) when Fox played in the mid-season game in France, he was only "keeping the shirt warm " for the returning Raynor.

TBH you can use any of the regular losers who troll on here and you'd be right.

As opposed to Fox eh

Right now if I were picking a Rep side I would have Raynor in ahead of Fox. Nothing to do with playing for Rovers but I have always had doubts about him even at Wakey. He has age on his side and could develop into a very good winger but Raynor has a decent record against the Kiwis and the Aussies.

Raynor's form doesn't warrant a place in front of Fox though even taking into account his tail off at the end of the season

Fox is younger I will give you that, but I still think that Raynor is a better winger than Fox, if he played for a better team such as Saints, Leeds or even Rovers last years he would have scored loads of trys. He never gets the ball at Hull. The only area that Fox is better IMO is speed. He has always doen well for GB when he has played.

The fact that Raynor getting on and that he has been part of a poor Hull team for the last two years is why he isnt in the England squad.

in his prime Raynor was a class act.....he has now lost that half yard of pace which is important to any winger and has gone from being 'a class act' to just decent. Put him with a decent centre & he will score the tries but not from 90 metres out.
