Lets get rid of the dead wood,heres my GB 17 for next year.
HEAD COACH - paul cullen
ASSISTANT COACHES - I would get 2 full time Assistant coaches,who could assist cullen and train the squad when cullen isnt available.
Maybe appoint James Lowes and paul Broadbent who have had fantastic reviews as Assistant coaches.
Dead wood to go -
Sean Long should never wear the GB shirt again.
Terry Newton,his time is up no impact made this year,too slow.
Paul Wellens,great SL player but not GB,does not offer enough in attack.
Keith Senior,will be 31 next year his time is up.
Brian Carney,we have to look at other wingers,he always struggles to perform for GB.
Stuart Fielden has had a poor series but has always performed in previous series and matched the aussies and Kiwis,he is only 27 and im sure he will be back next year.Stuart has had to suffer the loss of his mum who he was very close to,maybe this has effected his game.
Paul Sculthorpe,he has to retire now from test rugby,his knees are gone and Peacock does not deserve to lose the captaincy.
Sean O Loughlin,NOT test standard,too slow and predictable.
Heres my 25 man squad for next year which i feel would be more effective than the current squad,Players ages are all at the end of the 07 season.
1st 17 -
1 Shaun Briscoe HULL FC age 24,superb attacking player with great speed and support play which GB so often lack.
2 David Hodgson SALFORD REDS age 26,one of the fastest players in SL,he is safe in defense and can come up with a try from nothing.
3 Martin Gleeson WARRINGTON WOLVES age 27,has had a poor series this time but is only 26,his link with Briers would be crucial to our attack.
4 Kirk Yeaman HULL FC age 24,how on earth he was dropped last week i dont know,defensively superb and just as equal in attack.
5 Stuart Reardon WARRINGTON WOLVES age 26,has great skill and speed and has always finished well for GB,he had a great series in 2004 then noble chose to over look him.
6 Leon Pryce ST HELENS age 26,No 6 is his position and hes a great attacking weapon.
7 Lee Briers WARRINGTON WOLVES age 29,HAS TO BE IN,he has the best kicking game in SL by a lot,and has so much to offer.Why he never gets picked ill never know.
8 Adrian Morley WARRINGTON WOLVES age 31,still has loads to offer test rugby.
9 James Roby ST HELENS age 21,after this tri nations he should be give the no 9 shirt.
10 Jamie Peacock LEEDS RHINOS age 29,CAPTAIN,superb.
11 Gareth Hock WIGAN WARRIORS age 24,Will build on his performance in this years series and the experience will make him a far better player in 07.
12 Gareth ellis LEEDS RHINOS age 26,had a great series this time never stops.
13 Kevin Sinfield LEEDS RHINOS age 27,always over looked and a natural 13,who has a great kicking game and between him and Briers it should solve GB long lasting kicking game problem.
INTERCHANGE - - - - - -
14 Mick Higham WIGAN WARRIORS age 27,like Roby offers bags of speed from dummy half and very dangerous with the ball,Better than Newton.
15 Stuart Fielden WIGAN WARRIORS age 28,will be back next year im sure of it.
16 Jamie Langley BRADFORD BULLS age 23,Huge back rower or centre who would take a similar role to Gilmours but i feel he would be more effective.
17 Danny Sculthorpe WAKEFIELD WILDCATS age 28,Has so much to offer GB,has one of the best offloads in the game,a great ball playing,aggressive prop.Would need to keep his discipline though.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
REST OF THE SQUAD
18 Chris Ashton WIGAN WARRIORS age 20.FULL BACK.
19 Martin Aspinwall HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS age 26.WINGER.
20 Ryan Atkins WAKEFIELD WILDCATS age 22.CENTRE.
21 Paul Deacon BRADFORD BULLS age 28.SCRUM HALF.
22 James Graham ST HELENS age 22.PROP.
23 Andy Coley SALFORD REDS age 29.PROP.
24 Sam Burgess BRADFORD BULLS age 18.SECOND ROW.Hailed the new SB WILLIAMS.
25 Stephen Wild HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS age 26.UTILITY.
If this squad was kept together and worked on i feel it would offer a lot at test level.
This is only my opinion so dont get angry about it.
