I thought these games were supposed to give the England team a feel for playing together.. as such I CANNOT understand why you would obliterate your starting 13. One or two changes perhaps but they might as well rename this England A v the exiles as come seasons end, or in the world cup with your o/s players there might, and I mean MIGHT be 5 of those guys playing

Imagine the money that could be spread throughout the game if this load of washed up tosh was not cluttering up our once great sport

joel monaghan washed up??? he is on the verge of breaking brian bevans record of 50 tries in 46 games!

scott dureau one of the best half backs in the comp???

millard a very class centre

to name a few in there

1. Stefan Ratchford
2. Jodie Broughton
3. Leroy Cudjoe
4. Ryan Atkins
5. Tom Briscoe

6. Jonny Lomax
7. Danny Brough

8. Eorl Crabtree
9. James Roby (c)
10. Lee Mossop
11. Gareth Hock
12. Danny Tickle
13. Jon Wilkin

14. Rob Burrow
15. Gareth Carvell
16. JJB
17. Carl Ablett

That's how I think he will go, rotating the wingers completely so everybody gets a chance. Personally I would have liked to have seen one of Andy Lynch, Larne Patrick, Chris Hill or LMS get a call up. Lynch may be getting on a bit now but he's still playing to a good level, higher than the likes of Peacock and Morley IMO.

There are some poor players there and even as a Wigan fan there is no way Gelling should be near a representative side like this. It really is scraping the barrell. This is also the squad before the inevitable withdrawls that will come closer to the time, I can see it getting worse han this. This concept is finished already.

Not sure what Sam Moa has to do to get a game looking at some of the dross in that squad.
