I may be miss reading the story but it appears not made the 19 for Denver, replaced by Makinson who as been added alongside Hall and McGilvrey (probably spelt wrong). I have no problem with the Makinson addition but not retaining Hall.

Hall I can get to some degree although he hasn’t got many years left. But mcgillivray? Hasn’t been that great this year at all. Thinking he’s got the nod purely down to his last England tour form. Shame for Johnstone but he can use it as motivation to show some good form over summer.

I don't really have a problem with this. He's bound to stick with the guys who played in the world cup. Both wingers were excellent. Makinson has been good this tear for the top team. Sts fans would have had a right to be upset if not chosen.
TJ will get his chance.

It’s an odd one this, as on current form TJ probably isn’t isn’t playing well enough imho - however neither are Hall or McGilvray so the go with what you know bit simply doesn’t hold water for me.
This however is nothing more than an exhibition game in which case it beggars belief that you wouldn’t at least give a young gun a run out.
Sadly this is what you will get with Bennett, he’s past it and he has no real understanding of the British game. He will pick on reputation because that’s all he has and that’s why he’ll run a steady ship but we’ll never win owt.

No doubt the likes of Makinson, Hall and McGillvary were rubbing their hands whilst Tom was being left out of our team and thus being removed from the shop window.

Really disappointing for TJ if he doesn't make it. Hope he can push on and get in for for the autumn series. Chester has been tough on him this year and hopefully that bears fruit for the end of the season.
From things said by Mr Carter regarding MCB last week I took it the club had an indication that TJ was on his way to Denver
Cream always comes to the top and TJ will be back with a vengeance! The England team selection has puzzled me for longer than I care to remember so this is no surprise. How some of the players get near the squad is a mystery to me. One of them I refer to is O'loughlin.

Anyway, where have you read this? I can't find any details.
