I'd like to think Colbon has more of a chance than Ainscough, Gardner, Calderwood and Raynor. I think he's been great so far this year but I can't see it happening.

Fox is the best english winger in the league, if he doesn't get picked there is something seriously wrong

I agree kid it would be a disgrace

Leon Pryce at centre?

You have heard it here first - no Hull KR players in the England squad!

Shameful, but true!

Ridiculous decision. So stupid, I can't help but smile. Thankfully, I don't have a huge emotional investment in the England team. Tom Briscoe is in according to the HDM - bags of potential, an excellent choice for England 'A', but a senior international ahead of about 10 players in his position who are better now... farcical. He was only in the Hull team due to injuries, until he got crocked himself.

My only slight worry is that we might struggle to attract players with England ambitions. Ho-hum. At least those who deserved a place are are tied to contracts and will hopefully be out to prove a point (again ). If there is no Briscoe, I hope Wellens is FB - Smith would be dreadful insult.

I am shocked that S. Briscoe and Fox, but especially Brisc not been in the squad, I think that is a shocking kick in the face by Smith.

And no offence to Tom Briscoe, he's an ok player with potential, but he's injured for gods sake. If theres gonna be another 13 names gonna be add to this initial 17, why couldn't he be one of them

Until we see the full 17 we can't say whether not including Fox and S. Briscoe was a good or bad decision. If it's a train on squad to give players experience, then Brisc and Fox have already done that. But if it isn't and he's picked an injured Tom Briscoe in front of Fox, his head needs looking at
