Bulls player most likely to make the England squad in 2014? : Thu Oct 31, 2013 12:05 am  

Who out of our squad for 2014 do you think has the most potential to make the England squad? Let's think positive. Someones obviously going to play with us doing the double winning the challenge cup and the grand final, winning both to Leeds... I can dream.

None of them are as good as the starting 13 from last week, but if Farrell & Mossop can make the squad there is hope of Bateman & Ferguson. But then again Crabtree & Kirmond weren't considered good enough.

I thought Danny Kirmond more than anyone had right to be annoyed at not being in the World Cup Squad. Especially when the likes of Liam Farrell are being picked ahead of him (and even Ferres). If Kirmond played for a bigger club, he would no doubt have been there. The same thing will no doubt hamper any Bulls player that stands out in the near future (at least until a day comes that we're back up competing for trophies).

I'd say John Bateman would be the one that would have the potential to be picked

But he'd need to get an injury free season, recapture his best form and start to fulfil his undoubted potential - none of which he really did in 2013

Danny Addy, Nick Scruton

Addy is Scottish. He won't want to play for the minnows of England now.

I would say Bateman and Scruton. Carvell could make a return to the international scene if he has a quality year. I think it's 4 Nations next year so the Aussie based props might not be playing.

All depends who is in charge post world cup...

If its still Steve Mac and Brough cant make the squad its anyone's guess

As others have said Bateman could be a realistic option, if Scruton can repeat this year he could be within a shout.
