A weird one from Wane for me. There are real positives in there including him involving the 'gun' young players we have. It's fantastic to see the likes of Harry Newman, Jack Welsby, Jake Wardle, Lewis Dodd and Kai Pearce-Paul being selected.

The selection of Ryan Hall is an eye opener. Still good enough for Super League I guess, but international level? Some other baffling selections, particulary John Bateman. He's barely Super League level since he came back from Australia, what exactly is Wane rewarding him for? Liam Marshall is another who is fine at Super League level, but for whom internationals are a leap. No selection for Tom Johnstone is a baffling one, given he's called up a few wingers who are clearly not good enough.

There are maybe 7 or 8 players I wouldn't have had in that side. For me, the train on squad would be for those who could potentially feature in the WC. Are we really suggesting that Jerry Mc, Hall, Sarginson and Lyne are going to be picked in the squad at the end of the year??

People like Will Pryce, Griffin, Mikey Lewis, Connor should be in that side, as well as Johnstone

Yeah, all good shouts. I'd completely forgotton Connor, I don't think Wane likes him.

It’s irrelevant, just draw names out of hat, not a chance of making the final anyway.

You say LOL, but back it up? Bateman has been utter rubbish since he came back from Australia. Far from the player he once was. He shouldn't be anywhere near the England team.

Have you seen it differently?

Down year last year compared to his standards but been superb in the opening 3 rounds this year. Over 100m last 2 weeks and top 10 in tackles despite not playing in the middle.

Also proven he’s world class by being the best second row in NRL 3 years ago.

One of the first names on the team sheet.

Yep 2019

2020 he played well after missing the start of the year with a shoulder injury

2021 admittedly down year.

Hardly a million years ago, or is he over the hill at age 28.

My fellow fc fans will bang on about Connor but hes only great against likes of Salford Huddersfield and Leigh

And gives away far too many penalties and gets done for pace ( Liam farrell last season

Tompkins is better and would have lomax in front of him at full back aswell

Griffin should be in 100% one of the best centres in UK

Will pryce should be in going to be a superstar

Reece lyne sarginson and Hall are ridiculous not even good for their clubs now
