.... along with 9 wigan players, we don't stand a chance against them.

Roby over Houghton based on this year so far? OK then.

Kyle Amor is a shocker, Houghton is a bit unlucky.

Most of that squad is just the squad who were picked to play the last tournament,looks time that Bennett hasn't watched many games this year and is going off reputation.

Is a meet up with no game in sight a snub?

His form cant get much better and he hasnt even been invited, despite there being no limit on places or numbers of players he could have invited along.

On this basis he almost certainly wont get in the England squad this Autumn. Bizarre given how bad Roby has been.

Even Saints fans say Walmsley has been awful this season and there is no way Amor is better than Watts. Houghton is unlucky.

Wait until squad announcements, in 3 months time, these threads are just stupid

How many games in total will we play at club level? I'd rather us have no recognition from FC, our club matters more then getting tonked by the Aussies, let them pick household names & let them burnout.

I agree!
Leave them to it .

We can rest players & they can have operations & rest, that's what will be best for us, stuff representation.

It's a good point, but the players deserve the recognition, good for motavation for the players to continue they form and prove them wrong.

5 players from the bottom of the table team, 2 from the top. Lol.

Stevie Ward? Has he even played this year?

This is quite pathetic and typical of a small club syndrone.

"Hey, I have an idea, lets not let any of our club players test themsleves against the best in the world and gain experience and show ambition and mature their game. Sounds great, doesnt it? Hello?..."

Get real.

Are you kidding me?

It's a good thing both ways Dave, but come next April/may we won't have players playing that should have had clean outs etc, for me it's another 2 fingers up to coaches/scouts falling asleep at games at not selecting form players. Ferk em mate, I know what lugs would prefer.

Just noticed pacific isn't even an FC fan, we'll comment on our own thanks. Maybe you can comment on the expensive mistake Tomkins?

Wish I was. How on Earth can he get picked when he's not even played a game (or maybe perhaps 1 or 2 that I've not noticed).
There's hardly a shortage of second rowers in there either.

Mike McMeeken being snubbed in favour of Steve Ward is a joke.

It's not I couldn't careless tbf, the best English forwards are in the NRL, so for me I would not want our players playing/training for nearly a full year, it's pointless my main priority is FC, if they get recognition then fine but if they don't then that's even better from a clubs point of view, do we really want them coming back with big heads demanding bigger contracts? (Westerman) anyway let stevie ward & Ryan hall rip it up, they're playing well at the minute.

amor in front of anyone. He's shoite. I'd rather play anthony england

You pick out Westerman as if he represents all players who have plaed for England. Westerman has always rated himself more than anyone else has and this has always been his problem. If he could marry himself, I suspect he would.

Scott Taylor, Marc Sneyd and Liam watts have all spoken of how they would love to play for England and hoe it motivates them. If you told them they can no longer play for their country and they are all on settled long contracts what else do they have to motivate them to play well?

steve ward would't even get on the bench at Hull so christ knows how he's got in. Has eddie had a word in bennett's ear? Maybe bennett is just picking the worst team he can get away with him being an aussie and all that

Playing for the club? To try & win silverware?
