Aye, anybody slating his defence hasnt watched him since he's been back. He's been sensational in that regard especially on his own line and has pulled off some fantastic try savers. He's also been solid as a rock under the high ball.

He's a different player to the one who left. Some things aren't quite as good but other areas of his game are light years ahead.


True, I think with Hardaker having a difficult year it is an easy selection here for Bennett.

Tomkins has to play full-back now, he is in a different class to everyone else who could play there.
He has returned from Australia an even better player. The only concern is his fragility, but when he is fit there is nobody better.

If Lomax carries on playing as he has been doing, he'll be up there with Tomkins. However, I wouldn't want him in the England set up, I'd rather him have a full off season with the Saints to see how his body is.

I see Widdop was outstanding again at the weekend...... For the Titans that is.....

If Dragons had any 2nd tier salary cap left to spend, I think he'd be dropped - as it is, they literally have no option but to keep playing him - but he's getting a hammering by everyone from fans, pundits and ex players. Creates nothing (for his own team anyway - he did throw a lovely intercept), kicking has been awful, and even his running game seems to have disappeared.

Toulouse for Championship in 2017, Super League in 2021!

Avignon for Championship in 2021, Super League in 2022!

2017 England players in the NRL:

Zachary Hardaker

......., Jack Reed, Jordan Turner, ......

Gareth Widdop
......,

.....,
Samuel Burgess, Eliot Whitehead
James Graham, Joshua Hodgson George Burgess,

Interchange: Thomas Burgess,

I have excluded Lucas Burgess because he is not up to England national standard.

So there will be 10 England standard players in the NRL, with at least 7 (all the forwards plus Jack Reed) and possibly 8 (Widdop) as likely England selections.

That will require probably 9 Super League players to be added to the NRL stars to make up the England team.

"Arguably the best Rugby League side certainly in the last 40 years!" Phil Clarke.

Incorrectly elongating names appears to be his "thing" as well as pretending to be French. It makes him quirky, he thinks. Makes him look a bit of a spatchcock if you ask me!

Seems like Reed will be lucky to even play again never mind pull on an England Jersey unfortunately.
