England vs Wales

[Coastbloke]

What sort of team do you think Tony Smith will put up..??

Will he risk the high profile players or blood some possible stand outs...??

What about Wales...??

When are the squads announced..?? Is Iestyn, Kieran or Briers playing..??

It'll be guys not playing in the Grand Final.

Harris and Cunningham have retired from international RL, although anyone who watched the qualifiers would have thought Harris had already retired!

England will win by 50...

Rob Purdham pisses all over Langley. Sykes is nowhere near good enough, I'd rather have Shenton in there. I'd probably stick Louis Mc on the bench and give him a run out.

And some of those guys might be in the GF so probably won't play for England.

Cunningham, Harris & Briers have all retired.
