England team : Sun Oct 11, 2015 9:25 am  

England squad announced in just over an hour.. My team:

FB: Hardaker
W: J.Burgess
C: Percival
C: Watkins
W: McGillvary
S/O: McGuire
S/H: Williams
P: Hill
H: Roby
P: Graham
SR: Whitehead
SR: Farrell
L: Cuthbertson

J.Hodgson
Watts
Savelio
Mike Cooper

That would be my team (George Burgess would be in but injured). Fairly young team, but the idea of the team is to build it for the next world cup..

Everyone else's team??

Leroy, Jerry and Brett all included, surprised at Ferres to be honest .

Re: England team : Sun Oct 11, 2015 10:39 am  

very surprised at having 3 named, Jerry was obvious, Leroy, i thought had a chance, with his end of season form, but didn't think Ferres had any chance, well done to all 3 of them though.

wonder now if steve mac will possibly play Leeds pair of Hall & Watkins Bateman & Burgess of Wigan and our pair of Cudjoe & McGillvary?

Same thoughts for me as I have posted on a Facebook thread

" Thought Jerry was nailed on, Leroy an outside chance and Brett would miss out due to the disrupted season, made up for them all "

Really pleased for Jerry - but surely not even Macca could have overlooked the top try scorer in SL??? Well deserved and really looking forward to seeing how he goes. Good for Leroy too - on his day as good as any. As for Brett only surprised that after a long layoff he got in - he is a very versatile player so gives us lots of options and cover for injuries during games. Well done to all of them!!!

Actually I'm as pleased for Cudjo as I am for Mcgilvray who has really earned his place. Cudjo has come back strongly in the 8s league games, getting into the England setup will probably add to that momentum, Really surprised at Ferris getting in, but good luck to all of them.

hope jerry has a better time than when he last played for the england knights and tore his pec and had to come off!

great for cudjoe will build his confidence again, top player

ferres might be cover to play hooker again

Re: England team : Wed Oct 21, 2015 12:49 pm  

cudjoe and ferres in the 19 to face france on saturday, think cudjoe could play unless they put bateman at centre

mcgillvary not in, burgess and hall look to be first choice.

Re: England team : Thu Oct 22, 2015 10:55 am  

cudjoe no playing , ferres on the bench .....

Re: England team : Thu Oct 22, 2015 11:50 am  

bateman at centre then with watkins other side?

ferres replacement for 2nd row or loose.. not hooker i hope like before!
