Some interesting choices in the development squad, some really experienced players and then some players who had hardly played a game, players like Trueman, Atkins and Matongo must have about 20 appearances between them.

On Warrington I like Ratchford, very good player, not sure FB is his best position though, not sure which position is best for him.

Clarke is a very good as well.

Ratchford has great utility value in the squad but, there are better players in every position that he can cover and he was a little exposed at international level last season
Every club side needs someone like him but, at International level, i'm not sure hes good enough.

maybe bennett made his mind up about tomkins when he was playing in the nrl. i sat next to a souths fan at the ANZ double header and he said something along the lines of bennett will judge a player pretty quickly and then you're either a bennett type player or you're out

The boy blunder's failed venture into the NRL was his downfall, he was well and truly found lacking. I doubt any Aussie coaching England would select him as he is devoid of bottle.

I dislike the petulant side of Sam Tomkins, but the fact Kevin Brown is selected ahead of him is strange.
I also think Tomkins is a better full back than either Lomax or Ratchford.
Can’t see what Makinson offers either to be honest when there is Hall, McGillvary and Johnstone in the squad. If we need four wingers, I’m not sure how Makinson deserves a spot over Eden either.
Joe Wardle has had limited game-time at Cas due to injury, but for me he did more in the twenty minutes he played than McMeekan has done so far this year. Wouldn’t surprise me to see him added to the squad once he gets some game time behind him.

There must be 20 better wingers in SL than eden

4 at wigan, 2 at saints, 2 at leeds, 2 at Hull, 2 at warrington, 2 at wakefield, 2 at les cats, 1 at salford, 1 at hudds, 2 at widnes and none at hull kr obviously.

eden was rubbish at hull kerm rubbish down under then drops lucky and gets on the prolific left edge of cas where even my granny would score 20 tries a season
