Player power. They want to go to the WC. I don't think any of them has shown sufficient form to be picked anyway.

Club should refuse as it's a fair bit of the salary cap that could end up injured for longer with us paying out salary cap for spectators. As for Currie have not they not learnt their lesson about taking unnecessary risks? Madness.

Currie surely doesn't have a shirt at the WC? He's good enough don't get me wrong, but he has not played enough rugby to build up fitness to play the Aussies and NZ.

I was happy when he came back v Wigan, and he looked great there and even for the 5 mins he played v Widnes - different class. Just don't see what anyone is getting out of him playing 40 mins over the next two weeks.

Him and anyone requiring end of season surgery should be out of the squad now.

For me if he's fit he pays

We shouldn't rest anyone out of respect for players of other teams playing for livelihoods.

I've always been hoping this lad would be back for the World cup. His International career taking off just seems to keep getting delayed. Probably gonna miss out again this time. Still, he's only young and hopefully will still have his day.

Out of your team, I'd definitely take Hill. Although I'm a fan of Clark, I think Roby has to go, and Hodgson would be the other hooker. Ratchford would have an outside chance of making the squad. And Brown might just make it, it would depend on whether he picks an Aussie half, like Hodgkinson. Widdop, Williams and Gale should be going as halves and if he takes four, then it will probably be Brown.

Currie would be a massive gamble, but sometimes you have to gamble.

There are no trains. I spent a fair bit of time looking at the different websites, but sorry did not look into why, just booked onto the club coach instead.
