Hopefully it make our national side a lot more hungrier in the future.
unless you've signed for warrington of course, surely if briscoe has rightly been picked instead of out of form foxy, what happenened with myler getting the nod instead of tompkins?

Yeah just edited that not had chance to look at the team.
Still again though its about building for the future, if Tomkins missing this series means it will make him a better player in the future. You have to protect a lot of these youngsters because the Aussies and Kiwis can knock all confidence they had in them.
Still I don't think Tomkins has had as much good form lately as Macguire, who along with Sinfield carried Leeds the last few weeks of the season.

Two different players in my book, your going to get trouble with both DM and ST in half backs, it just won't work out IMO. Tomkins plays at his best as a second reciever out wide, he won't be in that role if he was to play SH.

but a lot more than myler, and Mcguire has regularly played scrum half when burrow has been injured this year.
I can't for the life of me see how smith can pick myler when his own club wouldn't play him for the last 2 months of the season and tompkins has been pulling up trees, it beggars belief and smacks of self interest.

I wouldn't class scoring a hat trick against Wales as pulling up tree's. For me Tomkins and Maguire doesn't work. Too similar to work together as a half back combination.
I think Smith has done the right thing maybe he should have offered the bench spot to Tomkins instead of Eastmond.

the pulling up trees was more do to with the way he finished the season with Wigan.
Smith doesn't play his halves in first and second receiver, he plays left and right half backs, always has wherever he has coached, so to me there's no reason tompkins and mcguire can't play together. Don't get me wrong I think myler will be a big talent if he continues his development but for a coach who reckons he picks on form how can he justify picking a lad who hasn't played for months?
