Great to see plenty of new faces in there.

Briscoe is an interesting one. He's been very good so far this year for Hull but doesn't seem to get talked about much.

No Wild though :shock: :wink:

A little bit, but more players will be added. They better be anyway because there's no fullbacks!!

Not a bad squad really with the exceptions of the Warrington players.

How does a team that stand 11th in the table manage to get 2 players in?

Tony Smith, no different to Noble, picking his own club players for his own reasons.

If you read Smith's comments he said that it wasn't a match squad, it was a group of players he wants to work with and he wants to get to know each other. You can guess from that it'll form the backbone to future England match squads.

Obviously there are no wingers in there and Smith mentioned the above named players are not guaranteed a place in the actual match squads.
