It's great (to me) that you fella's are arguing about England team selection (rather than the fact that Leigh haven't got a railway station, or Wakefield's ground is poor etc. etc.) looking forward to the World Cup. I sense the ''buzz'' of excitement slowly building (its palpable) towards the biggest (and best) World Cup so far. With more television coverage than ever before, HKR, Wakey and Cas' improving their infrastructure, the Women's, wheelchair and PDRL game growing rapidly, Touch football aligning with us and the French making great strides here and there, there's a lot to be excited about. I can't help feeling that this is going to be a huge year for our game. Bring it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without doubt Dav, if Eden had played for Wigan with his try scoring record he would have been a shoe in for international selection, over the years to often selection has been governed by who you play for other than how well you are playing.

In 2 years he's become one of my favourite players, he just doesn't stop, he's involved in everything, his work rate is excellent, I've yet to see him take a backward step, he punches above his size and it's players like him that enable the likes of Lolohea, Pryce, Fages, Levi to do their stuff. I'm saying now that if he played for one of the "bigger clubs" or in the NRL he would be tugged over by the fans and media, as it is, he, like his team, gets on with it under the radar.

meast Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 There's far more players get smoke blown up their backsides who are nowhere near as good as Yates. That's my point. Huddersfield Giants Supporters Association Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
