Mostly agree with you Pat, with a few tweaks. Jowitt is the next best British fullback IMO, so it’ll be really interesting to see where Wane goes. It’s the one position England are light on. 


Brimson is probably the most likely slot in, which is a shame. And Wane famously doesn’t like picking players unless they’re extremely proud to wear the badge - and that’s Brimson’s test. He’s played Origin, and (I think) one rep match, so he’s ahead of Jowitt in terms of big game experience. He’s more likely to come up with a big moment too. However, I genuinely believe Jowitt is a better all round full back than Brimson, and it’s a massive shame he won’t have a mid-season international to prove it, because I’m positive he would have got a shot. 


My team would be: Brimson/Jowitt, Johnstone, Farnworth, Wardle, Young, Williams, Smith, McMeeken, O’Neill, Thompson, Pearce-Paul, Nsemba, Radley. Walker, Havard, Lees, Knowles.


And in reserve I’d have Jowitt, Newman, Lewis, Delaney, Litten, Nicholson, Smithies.

And I didn't say Wane SHOULD Connor or AJB, just that I think he will.


To get in Max needs to have big games in big games.
He didn't quite do it in his first audition against Welsby and Sts.
We need to get him in the playoffs so he has a chance to shine


Would be handy if he outplayed French and/or Field on Friday. That's the standard he needs to set.

Isn’t Connor playing well at halfback but when shifted to full back like against us pretty poor and exposed?


Connor is playing very well in the halves but I don’t think there’s any question on who the better full back is in SL. 


Wane has form for squeezing players in who have rarely played there all season though. Like Lewis at 9. 

Anyone who has seen Gold Coast this year would know that Brimson is dog turd and if he’s selected for England makes a total mockery. 

Thanks for that ,at my age do not pick names up like i did .

Wish you'd come off the fence and say what you thought .
