If London is Athens, Yorkshire is Sparta, a tougher community and proud of it.

I don't understand why he would name 6 props now.

I disagree.
A few players with a point to prove now + only game Smith has seen against us we were bobbins!

He has laid his cards on the table with his props. Why pick 6 props? Has Eorl not smashed LMS all over the park twice this season or did I dream that?
This announcement, for me, is a big waste of time. A pointless exercise.

Though I still have to wander what eorl has done to Smith to make sure Smith never ever considers him

I have no problem with any of those on the list as they are all good players or have potential.
HOWEVER there are players better than Atkins who is too inconsistent and LMS who still needs more time to develop at the top level.
From my perspective though it is better than the usual Saints Leeds pick but i am begining to think fook england as long as the Giants are doing well.
Huddersfield Giants 2013 over achievers Huddersfield Giants 2014 under achievers ??????????

I kind know what you mean, but Internationals should be the very best the game has, but the selections are usually letting the whole game down
This 17 is a step forward, but I will bet a shiny penny to a pound that the next test team that plays is the ususal set of tried and failed suspects.
