England team to take on the Exiles? : Tue May 17, 2011 3:12 pm  

What would yours be as it stands? With no Widdop, Ellis and Burgess who would ordinarily be shoe ins Id go for:

S Tomkins
Briscoe
Shenton/Yeaman
Bridge/Yeaman
Hall
McGuire/Brown
Brough
Graham
Roby
Morley
Westwood
O'Loughlin
Sinfield

Wilkin
Mossop
Wood
McShane

Honourable mentions to Cudjoe, Brown, Crabtree, McCarthy Scarsbrook, Prescott, McGilvray

Am I missing any outstanding players from clubs I've not seen much of this season? Apologies if so.

1. Tomkins
2. Briscoe
3. Shenton
4. Bridge
5. Hall
6. Brown
7. Brough
8. Graham
9. Roby
10. Morley

McShane, surely some mistake. Ahead of Lunt, jesus.

Re: England team to take on the Exiles? : Tue May 17, 2011 3:59 pm  

No Mcgillvary

Re: England team to take on the Exiles? : Tue May 17, 2011 4:01 pm  

i'd even go as far as saying Robinson before Lunt at the moment.

Is it just me who doesn't like Tomkins as a fullback?

Still too many names on there that don't really deserve it. I think there are a lot of players at clubs like Huddersfield who overlooked far too often in favour of the big clubs.

Saints will probably only have Roby and Graham as definites and Shenton possibly. I think Huddersfield's backs are very underrated.

We still look far too average. We don't have enough players with real pace. Bridge, Yeaman, Hall, Brown, won't let anyone down but they don't have the extra cutting edge the likes of Benji, Hodges, Inglis, Slater, Kenny-Dowell etc do.
