Deary me

If Newman is busted then he shouldnt be available...

Newman shouldn't be available full-stop, he's either playing injured or seriously out of form, or both.

As well as Hill, Bateman, Newman.
I`m not so sure Dupree or Havard have done a right lot lately even though I rate both of them.
But not much out there to replace them.
Pity they didn`t let the likes of Rourke and Leyland into the squad even if it was for the experience.
I also thought Johnstone was injured?

on the whole an uninspiring squad

Re: Wane Names Provisional Squad for Samoa Test Series : Sat Sep 07, 2024 11:48 am  

Shocking squad, its like 10-11 wigan or ex Wigan. Not selecting on form just picking his favourites, Bateman and Hill!!!

Just made even less interested in something I have little interest In any more.

Why would anyone pay to watch a Wigan team plus a few others masquerading as an international side.

Although they are the best team in the Comp and have a lot of English players.
Whilst it`s always good to win an International series I personally would have liked to see a number of fringe players given a chance to show what they can do.
