But let's try to stick to the topic, rather than feeble attempts at humour old chappie.

No he's right, your crap trolling is agonisingly dull.

if it was picked on form then i would say wild,crabtree,raleigh,brown and robinson would be shoe-ins, with lawrence and kirmond good outside bets

however even if we finish 2nd and reach both finals the international call up would most likely elude all of them

So in answer to the question at the start of the thread.

No.

If we carry on as we are doing right now until the end of the season we will have players playing for England. Playing well now isn't as important as playing consistently well throughout the season.

People can make snide comments if they wish about the supposed quality of our players, that's up to them and their choice. No doubt they're the same ones who cry cheat etc when they get beat.

We'll see how the season goes. In the meantime I'm just enjoying our play and reading the moans and attempts at superiority from certain posters. Posters who watch their team play like crap or get completely outplayed by apparently inferior sides with players they wouldn't touch with a sh*tty stick, blame the ref or the opposition instead of themselves and then deride other teams when they've clearly got problems of their own to concentrate on.

David Hodgeson perhaps?

Hodgson must be in with a shout if it's picked from outside the regulars. He brings the ball out well with good pace and good footwork. Wild would be another as he's a workhorse, pretty quick and is versitile.

The other one i can think of is Scott Moore. We need a starting hooker(with Roby coming from the bench) for the Quad nations at the end of the year and a game against France would be a good chance to have a look at him.

I'm not a fan of the likes of Diskin, Clarke or even Newton(unless he finds top form).
