Sam Burgess is injured

Also I think you missed Gareth Ellis

1. Sam Tomkins
2. Tom Briscoe
3. Kirk Yeaman
4. Ryan Atkins
5. Josh Charnley
6. Gareth Widdop
7. Jonny Lomax
8. Jamie Peacock
9. James Roby
10. James Graham
11. Ben Westwood
12. Joel Tomkins
13. Jamie Langley (if fit)
14. Michael McIllorum/Matt Diskin
15. Tom Burgess/Adrian Morley/Ryan Bailey
16. Gareth Hock
17. Luke Robinson

Jamie Langley ???????????????

I know what most of you will say to that selection but Sinfield and O'Loughlin have been tryed and tested and I think Langley could do well especially in defence. Thats what we need to tighten up against NZ because beating the Aussies will be impossible

[size=150Jamie Langley??????????[/size

And Michael McIllorum. This year's Darrell Goulding. And Matt Diskin.

As a bulls fan, there is not one bulls contracted player who has earned or deserves a shot in the England squad, unless there are tonnes of injuries! i might take Burgess along to experience what being in a squad is like, but nowhere near being in the 17!

As Isaac says none of our players are remotely good enough.

What made me laugh was the (if fit) part. That and the fact that it would be the rugby league equivalent of Emile Heskey starting for England.

1. Sam Tomkins
2. Josh Charnley
3. Joel Tomkins
4. Ryan Atkins
5. Ryan Hall
6. Jonny Lomax
7. Danny Brough
8. Eorl Crabtree
9. James Roby
10. Adrian Morley
11. Jamie Jones-Buchannan
12. Gareth Ellis
13. Sean O'Loughlin (C)

14. Garreth Carvell
15. Paul Prescott
16. Elliott Whitehead
17. Chris Bridge

Peacock - past it, Sinfield - been there done that, Ben Westwood - penalty machine, James Graham - poor by his own standards this year, Michael McIllorum - predictable as seen when Wigan bring him on and lose ruck control, Gareth Hock - Banned and not been good enough... yet, Luke Robinson - maybe if roby was injured.

Joel Tomkins in centre to stop their big centres, boy he can tackle and Elliott Whitehead because in a better team could be unstoppable and Bridge is in good form and can cover 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 (at a push) and 13!!!!!!

But we haven't with O'Loughlin?!

FWIW,

Sam Tomkins
Tom Briscoe
Joel Tomkins
Ryan Atkins
Ryan Hall
Gareth Widdop
Johnny Lomax
Garreth Carvell
James Roby
James Graham
Gareth Ellis
Chris Heighington
Kevin Sinfield

Chris Bridge/Jack Reed
Ben Westwood
Jamie Peacock
Adrian Morley

Roby can play 80, and even if he doesn't Sinfield can go to 9, I imagine Bridge could even do it.

Peacock past it? He's made over 300 m in his last 2 games and nearly 80 tackles! If that's past it then we should be worried about the rest of the squad.

Oh, and Bailey?



Yes, he has improved out of sight in the last 18 months as far as yards on contact goes but there are a few still ahead of him IMO.
