England 4N team

[Bennett's Love Child]

Haven't watched as much Super League as i would have liked this year, but this would be my team:

1. Tomkins
2. Hall
3. Watkins
4. Shenton
5. Charnley
6. Widdop
7. Smith
8. Graham
9. Roby
10. Hill
11. Ferres
12. Westwood
13. O'Loughlin

14. Clark
15. G. Burgess
16. T. Burgess
17. Farrell / Whitehead

 

[deluded pom?]

Will Sam Burgess play in the 4N's? Is he eligible?

He'll probably be playing for the England RU team in the Autumn internationals.

 

[roughyedspud]

i double dare them to select him that soon

you only wish spud . be good if sammy could be picked

 

[roughyedspud]

i doubt he'll be selected for england off the back of a couple of games for bath..


he'll get fast tracked into the england saxons programme....a outside chance he might be selected to a game or 2 in the 6nations....and if he's not playing for england RU by the time the RUWC warm ups happen next august then i doubt he'll be selected for the RUWC

tomkins isn't gonna play 7....stick him at 1,smith to 7 and hardaker to 18 and i reckon you are'nt too far off

He has Tomkins at 6...

 

[roughyedspud]

oooppsss.....he's not gonna play there either

 

[marv]

I would be temped to use Tomkins at 7 with obviously Widdop at 6 Hardaker at 1

 

[goodplayer]

what about rangi chase .?

id rather we used acutal scrum halves first...




and no to rangi chase

So would I mate, but I am to be convinced we have one better than Sam. Who could compliment Widdop well.

I guess the choices are from Matty Smith and Marc Sneyd. Luke Robinson and Rob Burrow have probaby had their shot (and have moved to 9 a bit in recent years I think)

Danny Brough would be the best choice alongside Widdop IMO but I dont want to open that can of worms!

 

[roughyedspud]

not got a problem with matty smith & marc sneyd.....but id be very tempted to take danny mcguire

I defo do not have a problem with either Smith or Sneyd, I just reckon Tomkins will work well at 7 and Hardaker will give us threat from FB.

Either way its nice to have a choice and really nice to not have to worry about where to slot in Sir Kev

 

[roughyedspud]

have the england knights got any games planned this year??

Hopefully not, unless they're playing Cumbria or someone. They shouldn't ever play against actual international teams.

Some people will laugh spud but i like big strong centres and Turner certainly has those attributes.
I like Shenton but he looked weak last night and Cudjoe looks injured and out of form so maybe the lad from Oldham isn't a bad call at all.

 

[roughyedspud]

he's certainly a good shout for being in the squad as he can play centre,stand off & 13 if needed..



and yep another oldham lad...i know his grandad,we had the same local before i moved 3 years ago..
