Think watts is a bit unlucky to miss out. 6 halves plus Connor, it does look unbalanced. Only 3 from Yorkshire clubs reflects where balance of power is.

Joe Philbin? Looks a decent club man but surely not international class.

That’s a weak looking squad although with some quality players.

No Leeds players involved (other than Rhyse Martin PNG Konrad Hurrell Tonga) with us not been involved in the playoffs or middle 8’s this must be our longest off season our full squad has had in the Super League era.

He’s not good enough for international level but which 2nd rows are available that you’d pick ahead of him?
Is Mcmeekan injured?

Hurrell made the Tonga squad for GB tour but not playing in 9's.

Jack Hughes?

If Watts can't get in after the season he's had,then he may as well retire from international RL

Looking forward to the nines starting on Friday. Hopefully the lads and lasses can go far in the competitions.

Also will be interesting to see what kind of squad England Knights have out on Sunday.

Is any of this televised? I ask because I’m currently in hospital and bored out of my (admittedly tiny) mind.

All on Sky sports - on at strange times though because of time difference. Hope it's nothing too serious, get well soon.

Thanks Christopher, damage to my back. Inconvenient but I’ll live.

Odd timing might work well, my sleep is, how can I say it, interrupted?
