I don't think Clubb should be picked. LMS and Purdham for sure though.

I know that Clubb has missed a few tackles this year (understatement), but he would bring a few options to the bench IMO. As for Purdham, I am currently getting the Westerman is better than Rob arguement on the VT. Of the 3 players mentioned, I would have Purdham as the first name on the England Team Sheet and LMS and Clubb on the Bench.

I wouldn't waste your time arguing with Castleford supporters, they are some of the most one eyed, biased fans out there.

I would expect Clubb, LMS and Purdham to be named when the OFFICIAL announcement is made...but sloppy journalism is not official, just supposition!!

Lifted directly from the RFL site....still says "The initial 17-strong squad, which will be announced tomorrow "....
I am not saying he won't make it, but let's wait for the OFFICIAL statement from Smith.
