Hope he is TBH, does not mean he is a better allround winger.

They're both behind an injured adolescent (joke; T. Briscoe is a fine young player), so anything is possibly. Raynor should be ahead of Calderwood. Does Fox qualify for any of the Celtic nations?

Smith obviously wants a winger in the squad who can tackle.

Not trolling he is not the finished artical yet. He will be a England winger and one of the best, but he comes in field too quickly when in the defensive line on occasions and still is learning the game. He did it a couple of times aginst the Wire.

I thought part of the reason for picking an elite 17 plus the additions that will come was to start preparing a squad for the next world cup. Whilst a team needs experience as well as youth why has he picked Morley and Peacock who are both 31yrs old and will probably have retired from playing by the time it comes around.

As a Rovers fan I can honestly say I am not fussed if we get none in and never have been, my first and only priority is Rovers. Let the other clubs risk their best players in the middle of a tough season.

With all respect that is just selfish nonsense.

There is no greater accolade for both player and club than to be picked represent thier country.

He did tackle Ben Galea and Galea fell onto his leg hence the reason he is out injured

Its a 'shame' 8 of your players, including Fox didn't tackle him last season when he ran the full lenght of the pitch to score
