Quote ="WARRIORCRAIG" Quote ="LincolnDEVILSFan"I'd agree with Chase or Brown ahead of Matty Smith. Smith's defence isn't good enough and he needs a more creative player than Widdop alongside him. Widdop has a much better all round game, so he would be my first choice. I'm going to sound biased, but what about Scott Taylor for the pack. I've always been impressed with him, ever since his Hull KR days, and he seemed to be getting better the more minutes he ">plays.'" If Taylor hadnt been so preoccupied trying to get back to Hull I think he would have made last season's 25 man squad for the 4N. He was in the mid season training squad but then went backwards for the rest of the season and was ultimately out of the wigan side come playoff time. Seems he's hitting his 2013 form for Salford now though and I agree he's worth ">considering.'" Whilst I'm not suggesting Taylor is in the same league, but he's similar to Sam Burgess in that he's quick for and agile a big man. That said he doesn't have the same physicality as Sam Burgess has in defence.

Tom Lineham is playing very well in a poor Hull side, and deserves a shot this winter against the Kiwi's especially given Charnley, Briiscoe and Hall are currently injured.

Quote ="richardviking"Seems a real lack of options in the halves at present. Chase our best option but didn't really cover himself in glory when seemingly spitting his dummy out at RLWC2013 so I'm not sure if he is even an option. Brown is a top player but not sure if he'll be too old by the next WC. Widdop needs to rediscover his best form asap because every time I've watched him lately he's been sluggish, though the Dragons are gradually clawing themselves back into the reckoning this year. Smith isn't good enough ">imo.'" Real shame Eastmond went to the Rah Rahs, i think he could've developed into a great #6

It's early days in the season but if Liam Sutcliffe keeps this form up I would have



1 S Tomkins

6 L Sutcliffe

7 G Widdop

Sutcliffe has no more (or no less) chance of a spot in 2017 than George Williams or Rocky Hampshire.

Quote ="moto748"Sutcliffe has no more (or no less) chance of a spot in 2017 than George Williams or Rocky ">Hampshire.'" Sutcliffe has impressed me more than those other two.
