Yes, he worked hard in a team that won SL, well done, but that still doesn't mean he isn't an average player.

He is average, typical England standard really. 4 Nations is going to be once again very embarrassing for us English.

Don't have a problem. Decent player, in reasonable form.

I'd definitely pick Carl Ablett. He's played very well this season. He's also hard as nails, consistent and a bit of a house, which is what you need against the Aussies.

Stick him on the bench, he can either come on as a forward, or cover injuries and he won't let you down. England have made way worse choices in the past decade than this. My reservation is he gives penalties away, but i'd like to know what a Loiner thought of me thinking this as they've obviously seen him way more than me.
