True. I think Walmsley is a bigger loss then has really been mentioned because he really added that size that is comparable to the Kiwi set.

We look a bit leightweight aside from Tom Burgess.

James Graham, James Roby????

Williams has to get some game time. As a Leeds fan, he scares the s**t out of me every time he gets the ball. So good to see a half back attack the defensive line.

Which stats are we comparing? Manfredi 5 tackles, averaging 7m per carry, 2 errors, 0 offloads, 2 penalties conceded? Aye, one of the best on the pitch. You'll have to do better than that to oust a player with a proven pedigree with nearly 150 tries to his name.

George williams has to play, that kid is class.

Also tony club should have been selected for his tactical kicking.

Oh you are a wit aren't you Mr Coward? So original too.
I'm reet made up that you feel so obliged to pass on your wit and wisdom on to us mere Wigooners.

Sorry yes, Graham can be outstanding (much less so this year than last IMO). Roby I'm less convinced about.

Will have to remember that one

Is the south stand for the third test unreserved

Seriously doubt it. Internationals at the DW are normally allocated seating, meaning capacity is generally every seat in the stadium (less a few hundred in the North Stand, bottom right hand corner which are obscured by the big screen).

13,000 sold to date according to a report on the England RL website.

I'd imagine if we get a positive result in either of the first two games the rest will go pretty quickly.

Why is my doubt about Roby an issue? I simply don't think he's as good as he was.

In any event its not hooker where we have a problem but the other forwards. If anything we're better placed at 9 than we have been for some time, particularly if Clark gets his groove back.

When I go on line and it says pick your seats it always comes back with H 125 126

Fully agree. He's still a top player but he's not as effective as he once was in carrying the ball and creating havoc but Sky make out that's he's super human. He like many top players before him hasn't really broken any pots at international level either.

He's still our best without question IMO but it's got to the point where he's certainly over hyped as a player. We've not had too many issues dealing with him at club level for a long while now (aside from the odd moment).

Ae
Yes it is reserved seating just got the tickets on the phone.

Been pulled out, good !

Internationals more important than club rugby.

Right - go tell that to Mannering, Marshall, Foran, Johnson, Vatuvei etc.

If he was fit to play and then got injured during an international which means he misses the start of next season then that's just tough luck and something clubs have to put up with.
Picking a player he knows is injured is just stupid.

It is indeed and it's time RL fans in general appreciated it. I get fed up of fans saying that they don't want player x,y,z from their club selected. In general they are the fans who don't attend the Internationals anyway, but moan most if the team performance is poor.

However, if Sams not fit enough to play in the series he shouldn't be picked.

Sam's not in the 19, but Lockers, Bateman, Williams, Burgess, Farrell all make it. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/34595311
