I'm glad Ward decided to pull out the squad. Need him nice + rested for next season.

I'd rather Leeds won a meat raffle than England win the World Cup.

Ridiculous attitude. Why comment on a World Cup thread.

I disagree, imo Currie will play centre and the plan probably is to get him into starting form by around the quarter final stage, Ward being out probably allowed Heighington or Bateman into the squad

Bateman will probably cover centre with only watkins and percival as only specialists centres, currie won't get a game imo and is lucky ward had to pull out.

How on earth Greg Eden hasn't got in is a joke. Ratchford can't lace his boots.

A comment about an England squad member pulling out of the England squad in an England squad thread isn't allowed?

Christ.

I'm sure it will have been the prospect of a meat raffle over a first England World Cup win in nigh on fifty years.

Mmmmmmmm meat raffle.

No doubt Currie is a very good player but it's a big ask to play in a World Cup after just a couple of Middle 8 fixtures after a year out.

i think it was the last game we played warrington, ratchford got outpaced by mcguire for one try then again by jjb for another. don't understand how he's above shaul or eden.

also worrying that he was going to play fb anyway with hardaker expected to play centre before that kicked off. ratchford looks great ball in hand in a broken game, but no defensive game at all. that being said don't think lomax is much better.

Teams been announced for today. Ratchford at fb over Lorax and Bateman at c instead of Percival is probably the talking points. Looks like hall will play right wing outside Watkins. Been given funny squad numbers, not sure what that’s about. Hall 22 Watkins 23.

Just a friendly though and Bennett said the full squad will play.

again we see that Hall couldnt score the trys Eden did for Castleford, right guys?

Did this count as a capped match? Just wondering as Hall is only 12 tries off the all time RL test record (10 now if the match was capped)
