In my opinion that is a stronger and a more balanced (in regards of range of clubs) than the current team. Of the other Thatto Heath players not already included in your 17, you could make very strong cases for Shaun Quinn (full back) and Dave Hull (centre). Most of the other players that have stood out so far in matches against us have been included already.

Good side! although froma bias point of view if you get Neil Wall ont he end of play from Kilshaw and O'Brien he would be superb unstoppable near the line, saying that I would like to see that side play sort of a representitive side from say championship 1 as I thinkkt ey would give them a real game

[rollman]

To be fair you could pick a select team from the hull sides!! and the Wigan an Leigh sides!! that would beat the England side picked on past reps and not current form the 4 nations is a complete joke they will beat them all by 50 points!!

[Tangerine]

Maybe the selection of the other nations needs looking at. Grandparent rule could be used to make it more competitive players like o brien would likely qualify for some of the other home nations. Its what they do at pro level but no swapping and changing once you have represented a nation

That is a good side but i believe at least 3 of them have been invited to train and turned down the invitation for various reasons.
