Drop Ryan Hall for England

[The Daddy]

McGilvray and Manfredi are the best wingers at the moment

[Gates1]

Agreed. Hall should be nowhere near.

[DoubleD]

England don't play for another 6 months

[Futtocks]

England don't play for another 6 months

Precisely. Why all the talk about international selection in April?

 

For representative picks, study the form when the playoffs begin.

[Just Browny]

Let's get some fixtures arranged before we pick the team.

Players shouldn't just be picked on form alone at international level. Experience and understanding between players is essential at that level hence why Australia have had a similar side (and Queensland) for years.

Yes but they're always on form too...

Hall is out for 6 weeks.Joke of a thread.

[Scubby]

Yes, isn't Hall injured? He would still be my first choice for England. As mentioned, you don't throw away 20-odd tests at a try a game - including 5 tries in 5 tests against Australia.

 

Perhaps he is feeling the effects of the ridiculously early start to SL. He only finished commitments with England in the second half of November and then he is back on the horse at the start of Feb. When you've do this for 5/6 years you are entitled to feel jaded in March.

It is McGillvary, please. The commentators seem to enjoy mispronouncing it as "McGilvray."

[BroncoFan]

Watched Joe Burgess play today, he went well and must be close to a recall to the Roosters NRL team.

[Guest]

Players should be picked on form and not reputation. Especially when England have so many quality wingers to pick from as it's one thing to pick players in poor form when there's no real competition for places but another thing to do so when we(England) are blessed with at least half a dozen top quality wingers.

Why not? We used to have the War of the Roses Test trial matches and the Exiles games six months before international matches were played.
