Roby would have been front and centre if he was fit. Don't you still follow Graham a bit? I know that's why I followed the Roosters for a while when Morley was there.

It doesn't concern me at all. Looking at the England squad and you could make a decent case for everyone who is in there, especially considering the injured players at hooker. We only had Roby in the World Cup squad don't forget and we had our best shot at glory in a long time.

Gotta say I'm glad Roby's getting a rest. I hope next season we use Lance to spell him too. We can only flog him for so long before he breaks for good

It surprised me when I saw the ENgland team that there were no Sts players in.
Obviously Roby would have been a first choice and there are some not eligible like Masoe and Manu.
Amor was down as Irish but I'd have picked him for England if available.

Makinson would have been a definite for me and I think Turner might turn out that way too.

I think it shows what a great team effort it was all season by Sts. Good for you guys.

That also was a freakin magic act! 2 trophys with no half backs? not possible!

i also think they should bring back GREAT BRITAN....thats more than just a tradition in our game..used to look forward to watching the great britan teams yonks ago...for me it's dull now!

Re: England : Thu Oct 16, 2014 11:59 pm  

Who would Amor get picked ahead of? Burgess x 2, Graham are way ahead, Hill looks a better individual to me as well. Makinson could be in the squad, but would he be first choice ahead of anyone else?

In any event this to me is one of the problems with international RL - far too much club parochialism in play rather than just supporting the national team. You don't see the same sort of 'if X from my club isn't playing I'm not interested' in either RU or football. In fact I've never heard an RU or football fan say anything like that.
