can't believe ryan bailey is there...

don't agree with that side at all Bailey, Chase, McIlorum, should be replaced by Crabtree, Burrow, Houghton the sooner Steve McNamara is gone the better, probably go with Brian McDermott as coach. My fear is he will bring in more useless Australians/Kiwis and this wont be an England team and will lose support.

 

[roughyedspud]

crabtree and burrow are injured

my team

1. sam tomkins
2. ryan hall
3. carl ablett (why split up a grand final winning partnership to select jack reed?)
4. kirk yeaman
5. tom briscoe
6. gareth widdop
7. rangi chase
8. jamie Peacock
9. james Roby
10. jamesGraham
11. gareth Ellis
12. ben Westwood
13. kev Sinfield

14. gareth Carvell
15. adrian Morley
16. jon wilkin
17. jonny lomax

 

[LunarPark]

Burrow is injured. Crabtree is injured. Joel Tomkins has asked to be ommited due to personal reasons. Those reasons are apperently that he is about to switch to rugby union.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Didn't Rob Burrow have a decent game in the GF..??

Injured from what Ive heard.

 

[roughyedspud]

oh and joel tomkins asked not to be selected for "personal reasons" rumours are he's off to union

 

[franklin2323]

Isn't McIlorum Irish?

 

[Didgi]

First reactions are WTF Yeaman and Bailey, WTF no McGuire, Burrow or Brough. Leaves the squad light on halves IMO - though with Chase, Widdop and Lomax it should be fine - hardly ideal though.

 

[WireMan]

:lol:

Awesome.

That squad will knock the international game back a few years.

 

[JasonE]

I think Atkins was better than yeaman this season and bridge is injured as well.
I don't like the selections of JJ-B or Wilkin, they just don't strike me as being up to International standard and that showed in the Exiles clash, they were so ordinary.

 

[roughyedspud]

i actually like my 17.....apart from sam burgess its practically full strength

 

[Didgi]

Weren't Gareth Ellis and Ben Westwood due to miss the 4 Nations through injury?

 

[Johnny_L_O]

Isn't McIlorum Irish?

He has an Irish name and probably an Irish parent but he was born in Leeds.

 

[roughyedspud]

Isn't McIlorum Irish?

he was named in the 2009 & 2010 ireland european cup squads but i can't find any evidence of him actually playing??

so if his last game for ireland was in the world cup he's free to switch

Sam Tomkins is carrying an injury and has been found out by the top team, so i'd stick Widdop in there for this comp. Ablett just isn't an international centre. He is a second row. Sinfield really has to be in the last chance saloon now. He has failed so often.

1. Widdop (His best position?)
2. Hall (Good winger)
3. Reed (lets see if the hype is real)
4. Yeaman (no Atkins(wtf??) and Bridge/Shelton injured mean he is the best bet
5. Briscoe (Good winger)
6. Sinfield (This will be his last comp in an England shirt)
7. Chase (may as well play him)
8. Carvell (Best prop at Warrington this year)
9. Roby (I hope he doesn't get injured)
10. Graham (Awesome)
11. Ellis (Beast)
12. Westwood (Beast)
13. Wilkin (Skilful, and can help Sinfield control things)

14. Morley (Good experience when he comes on)
15. Peacock (He is better than Bailey)
16. Lomax (Good utility)
17. Heighington (Good second row cover)

Not sure how JJB or Bailey get into the squad, cause they are both average. Ben Jones-Bishop should be in the knights. Cudjoe makes it, but Brough and Robinson don't? Stevie Mc knows that if he resigns he won't get a payoff so he wants the sack. Its the only thing i can think off.

 

[hutch]

Sinfield played well in the last four nations.

Whatever you do, pick a half and five eighth and bloody stick with them. England change their halves every game it seems!

 

[deluded pom?]

That's alright then :roll: Other Nationalities lives again.
