Probably in the Minority but I like Lewis, good player with lots of potential, seems a great kid off the field and like lots of other tops pivots (Welsby, Tompkins, Connor etc) has a bit of niggle and passion about him.

Young, Farnworth, Williams and Wardell would have played if fit. Add in Walmsley and Thompson too.
That's 6 players that would probably be in the 17.
No idea how Bateman gets in, particularly over Farrell, I'd have KKP in front of him too. Same goes for Chris Hill, decent player, but there are younger players as good if not better than him now.
Batchelor missing too. We had a fair few out - Dodd, Lomax etc if you count those as well

I've no particular dislike for Lewis, some of the theatrics and petulance I've found annoying but generally that just comes from caring and enthusiasm, I found Connor irritating on occasion too. I don't see much of Rovers and in the games I've seen he hasn't done much so I've been a bit baffled by the hype but he was excellent against Tonga, added a real running threat.
He spoke really well at the end I thought and seems a decent kid, as did Welsby tbf, another who can irritate me on the pitch.

The petulance etc is what's needed players like that make the game
If every player was a "good boy" like Danny Houghton or Joe cator the game would be pretty dull in the grand schemes ( every sport needs like tompkins, connor, Bailey ) type players in it who get under skin
The sport needs biff back aswell its rugby league not netball
