Add anyone else at your own accord, too tired to think of everyone!

i cant belive we are picking the England team 3 weeks into the season

Me either. But its better than the usual doom and gloom tripe!

Ellis?

Read the bottom bit

I know i had done, was just adding of my own accord, just couldn't be bothered re-writing yours to add just one name.

There are afew average players who were in the team for the world cup who need to go, players who just look good because they are in a good team e.g.

Gardner
Wilkin
Sinfield

I rekon we should try Pryce in some other positions than half back he is not gonna cut it in this position but can be devastating for defences at times, so I think he would be great to have in the team at centre maybe, because he can create things.

And people aint picking on form. The player of the month in Rugby League World. aint there!

Too early to say. Hopefully the likes of Lawrence, Watkins, Atkins, Shenton and Hall, have good seasons. I'd like the England team to look something like this...

Smith
Raynor
Lawrence/Watkins/Craig Hall/Welham/Atkins
Shenton
Fox
McGuire/Pryce
Burrow
Graham
Roby
Peacock
Burgess
Ellis
Westerman

LMS
Hock
Luke Burgess
Pryce/McGuire

It's tough to call at the minute but i hope we go for a fresh look side with plenty of youth included.

An early doors rough guess would be-

Briscoe
Watkins/Lawrence(a good way of easing a youngster in)
Gleeson
Shenton
Pryce(after his dismal showing in the world cup along with McGuires good from in the semi wing is the only spot i'd put him in)
McGuire
Burrow
Lynch
Newton
Graham
Peacock
Ellis
Westerman

subs
Burgess
Hock
J Tomkins
Roby

That looks a very excting team to me and it would really freshen the side up.

The likes of Ainscough, Will Sharp, Atkins, Myler, L Burgess, LMS etc etc may not be a million miles off the squad come the end of the year either.

1. Smith
2. Fox
3. Shenton
4. Gleeson
5. Fox
6. McGuire
7. Burrow
8. Morley
9. Diskin
10. Peacock
11. Ellis (C) our best player IMO
12. Burgess
13. Westerman

14. Graham
15. Hock
16. Roby
17. O'Loughlin/Joel Tomkins?

Young speedy set of backs with probably the best half back partnership in Super League

Strong set of forwards with good impact from Hock and Roby

I would pick J Tomkins over Lockers because of the way he has played this year so far and last year. I would also maybe take a punt at Ainscough if he continues to have a good season.
