This is what I reckon Bennett will go with:

Lomax, Widdop, Williams, Gale, Hodgson, Walmsley, S.Burgess, Hall, Watkins, McGilvaray, O'Loughlin, Graham, Hill, Heighington, Roby, Clarke, Farrell, Whitehead, Bateman, G.Burgess, Tomkins, Percival, Shenton, Eden.

Done some analysis of the stats between the full back candidates, and for me, it is a no brainer that Shaul should be in the squad:

Tries - Shaul = 17, Tomkins = 5, Ratchford = 1, Lomax = 8
Assists - Shaul = 4, Tomkins = 7, Ratchford = 12, Lomax = 11
Tackles - Shaul = 170, Tomkins = 85, Ratchford = 117, Lomax = 169
Missed Tackles - Shaul = 19, Tomkins = 9, Ratchford = 11, Lomax = 10
Tackle Busts - Shaul = 124, Tomkins = 21, Ratchford = 52, Lomax = 19
Carries - Shaul = 336, Tomkins = 112, Ratchford = 201, Lomax = 235
Metres - Shaul = 3199, Tomkins = 615, Ratchford = 1824, Lomax = 1708
Av. Gain - Shaul = 9.52, Tomkins = 5.49, Ratchford = 9.07, Lomax = 7.27
Clean Breaks - Shaul = 24, Tomkins = 2, Ratchford = 9, Lomax = 9
Runs from DH - Shaul = 103, Tomkins = 13, Ratchford = 45, Lomax = 23
Errors - Shaul = 29, Tomkins = 12, Ratchford = 24, Lomax = 19
Offloads - Shaul = 18, Tomkins = 8, Ratchford = 20, Lomax = 5

To me, Shaul would be picked all day long. His ability to cause danger when running the ball, is something England just don't have in their squad, and is probably the only player in the squad capable of seeing a gap and being through it before the defence can set. These stats also don't include the Challenge Cup

I fully expect Bennett to stick with the same players as before that have under performed here and in the nrl

Currie has been picked and only played 1 or 2 games all season! Tells you everything about the process that is wrong


Face fits/colour of your clubs shirt then your in

Good post, Joke if he doesn't get picked in front of them

Instead of Houghton?

He didn't get picked when he was Man of Steel. Highly unlikely he'll get picked this year.

Yep. Hodgson will start, and I'd prefer either of those two off the bench than Houghton.

Absolutely beggars belief. Three teams won silverware this year, and Warrington have more players in there than any of them.
