some of the tripe your supporters came out with about Briscoe (tom ) being the only Hull player in the squad and they got owned by numerous posters

Look at the full squad...11 forwards
Although it is to be increased to a 25/30 man squad over the next few months.

Wake up son, it's not the final squad. It's an initial 17 Smith wants to work with first and none of them are guaranteed a place against France. Apart from the fact he's actually said as much, it's not difficult to work out is it?

It's the 17 players who he see's at the moment as the best 17 players to play for England now and in the near future, hence the name 'Elite'.

Us real fans don't look over our shoulder at our neighbours and do whatever we can to get one over on them. We look at the bigger picture. And this is the reason why Rovers are and will forever be considered a small club. Because their fans and board would rather get one over on Hull FC above anything else.
Quite sad, really!
SPOT ON!

It isn't a squad, that is clear now - it is a (first) group of elite players. They will form a core, from which teams are selected, with Lee Smith, Ade Gardener and a few more no-mark Wire players drafted in to make up the numbers when nobody is looking.

No it's the initial 17 of the elite training squad. There's no wingers or fullbacks, so I'm sure there'll be more other than that 17 who will regularly play for england 'now and in the near future'.
