well done to all three. I thought Shaun Briscoe did enough towards the end of the season to justify being called up.

Well done all three, pleased to see Scotty getting some recognition for a great end to the season. Will be good experience for Liam Watts as well.

Well done and well deserved.

BUT. It does show the lack of talent in depth we have in England. The following players wouldnt even get a game in the NRL.

Jodie Broughton (Salford City Reds)
Tony Clubb (Harlequins RL)
Jamie Langley (Bradford Bulls)
Mick Higham (Warrington Wolves)
Scott Murrell (Hull KR)
Nick Scruton (Bradford Bulls)
Michael Shenton (Castleford Tigers)
Paul Sykes (Bradford Bulls)
Liam Watts (Hull KR)
Joe Westerman (Castleford Tigers)
Ben Westwood (Warrington Wolves)
Gareth Widdop (Melbourne Storm)
Kirk Yeaman (Hull FC)[b][/b]

.Those in bold should be very pleased of the call up as they are very, very average.

And some would have us believe we didn't have 3 english players !

You would think Tony Smith was the coach with the amount of Wolves players! Wouldn't bother with Yeaman and expected Brisc, can he still call on him if Tomkins is injured in the playoffs? Wattsy and Scotty deserve it but didn't expect Macca to select them, They will probably be left out once he makes his selections from the teams that are currently still in the Playoffs.

Murrell, barring his spell at hooker earlier this season has been consistently good for many months and desrves his chance. Watts has undoubtedly been knocking on the door this year but delighted, if not surprised, he got his chance so quickly.

I agree, I hope i'm wrong but it is just a fallout squad with 4 teams still to have a pick from
