Were that many people really saying the comfortably best 6 in SL last season wouldnt play for England again.

After the 4N they were. Brown was terrible during the International Series.

Have I missed something with Shenton?

What I've seen of him this year, think he's been nowhere near good enough for England.

I thought Macnamara was picking players in form.

50% of the people who have posted their team have put Yeaman in the centres, but nobody has put him alongside briscoe for centre/wing partnership ?

You make a good point, swap my centres / wingers around.

Re: England team to take on the Exiles? : Tue May 17, 2011 8:23 pm  

Sam Tomkins
Briscoe
Shenton
Bridge
Charnley/McGillavary(?)/Foster/Hall (Although I'd consider Atkins on the wing)
Myler (Is he fit? He thrives alongside Briers, Brough could be a good fit)
Brough

Graham
Roby
Morley
Westwood
Joel Tomkins
O'Loughlin

Mossop
Watts
Farrell
Lunt

Thats a young bench, but I think all 3 forwards will be England regulars in a couple of years.

Tomkins S

Briscoe
Yeaman
Welham
Mcgillvary

Brown
Brough

Graham
Roby
Morley
Westwood
Tomkins J
Sinfield

O'Loughlin
Griffin
LMS
Wilkin

Re: England team to take on the Exiles? : Tue May 17, 2011 8:27 pm  

For me the wingers would have to be Tom Briscoe and Jermaine Mcgillvary.
I cant see McGuire playing.
And isnt Morley passed it? At 33 surely it is time to give someone like Farrell or Harrison a go.

Re: England team to take on the Exiles? : Tue May 17, 2011 8:47 pm  

Farrells not a prop, LMS maybe though forgot about him.

And for those putting Sinfield at loose of O'Loughlin, seriously?!

Re: England team to take on the Exiles? : Tue May 17, 2011 8:57 pm  

don't see why people are having sinfield over lockers. He's not even playing 13 for leeds at the minute! But he is doing a good job at 6. At the minute I'd go with...

1. Sam Tomkins
2. Tom Briscoe
3. Kirk Yeaman
4. Michael Shenton
5. Jermain McGillvary
6. Kevin Sinfield
7. Danny Brough
8. James Graham
9. James Roby
10. Jamie Peacock
11. Joel Tomkins
12. Ben Westwood
13. Sean O'Loughlin

14. Liam Farrell
15. Luke Robinson
16. Lee Mossop
17. Adrian Morley

for me it's probably the form players in the comp. Liam Farrell and Mossop have been brilliant for us. Mossop is making tons and tons of yards and is massive! A great prop in the making. Farrell could be around the england side for years. I had Joel Tomkins at centre but we would have been a bit weak in the second row without him considering we have no ellis or burgess. Picked sinfield at 6 because hes been carrying leeds from there at 6, for me kevin brown doesn't cut it at international level at all.

Re: England team to take on the Exiles? : Tue May 17, 2011 8:59 pm  

Based on form:

Tomkins
Briscoe
Welham
Shenton
Foster
Brown
Brough
Graham
Roby
Morley
Westwood
Harrison
Sinfield

Peacock
Lynch
J. Tomkins
O'Loughlin
