Quote ="moto748"I have more time for Chase than many, but I don't think he'd ever fit well in international footy. Brown is a fair shout. McGuire has had his chances, and don't remember him ever impressing against the Aussies.
As for Matty Smith, I don't recall too many complaints about him last season, but so far he has not found that form this year.'"
Whilst I think you are correct in pretty much everything you have said, and I think Matty Smith earned his spot last season, Smith and Widdop weren't particularly creative in the four nations. Then having watched Smith at Salford, and his performances this season without Green, I'd say he's more of a link man at first receiver. However, if his main role is to operate as that link, then you would go with Widdop as he's a better goal kicker and has a more rounded game. Then you would have to pair Widdop/Smith with a more creative player. I like Brown because he's got really accurate pass and good vision, but Chase has a massive bag of tricks. It depends which player the coach thinks he can get the most out of, it also depends on whether either player will make it to the World Cup.
