BroncoFan Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Does anyone want to have a crack at naming the 23 player squad for the WC ? Ill name mine later on today when I get the chance.

unapologetic pedant Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Might be wise to assess the level of carnage served up by the WSL semis and GF before venturing predictions. Georgia Roche was carted off yesterday. Looked like an ankle problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoFan Posted August 29, 2022 Author Share Posted August 29, 2022 Yes true and Roche is one player England can’t afford to lose because there is no depth at all in the halves. I think Courtney W-H is just about done, her defence is terrible and she isn’t taking the line on anymore. Roche & Zoe Harris are the best pair imo. Winfield-Hill had a shocker yesterday.

RigbyLuger Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Wouldn't be a shock for the Saints/England coaching team to pick Cunningham in the halves, as they haven't got a clue where to put her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoFan Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 Ok so assuming Georgia Roche & Jodie Cunningham are fit. No word about the fitness of incumbent prop Grace Field so I will not select her or Leeds’ Shannon Lacey. 1. Tara Stanley 2. Georgia Wilson 3. Amy Hardcastle 4. Caitlin Beevers 5. Fran Goldthorp 6. Zoe Harris 7. Georgia Roche 8. Channy Crowl 9. Tara Jones 10. Vicky Molyneux 11. Holly Dodd 12. Emily Rudge 13. Jodie Cunningham 14. Paige Travis 15. Vicky Whitfield 16. Zoe Hornby 17. Olivia Wood 18. Courtney Winfield Hill 19. Dannielle Anderson 20. Emma Lumley 21. Leah Burke 22. Sinead Peach 23. Rachel Woosey or Carrie Roberts For me, I’d love to fit Jaz Bell in the squad because she could make an impact and Savannah Andrade is close to getting in but the backrow is already covered. I can’t find a spot for Shona Hoyle but wouldn’t be surprised if Craig Richards includes her in the squad.

Having pretty much made her leave Huddersfield for her international chances, it would be amazing if she wasn't in the squad.

BroncoFan Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 Agree but realistically others deserve to be in before her, I would have Hoyle behind Jaz Bell & Savannah Andrade on the fringe of getting picked. Emma Lumley had a huge last couple of games and adds a bit of size to a smallish squad, they will need some size against the Southern Hemisphere teams imo.

BroncoFan Posted September 25, 2022 Author Share Posted September 25, 2022 I believe the squad will be announced at 3PM on Monday. I thought it was a squad of 23 but apparently it will be 24.

Bedford Roughyed Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Disappointed that Caz Collie didn't make it, but i feel she was scuppered by lack of game time. Hard to show what you can do with weeks between games in the south. Sinead Peach seems to be a obvious missing player? 2 With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBKnight Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Eleven Saints players - 3rd best team in the comp - then not picking the best hooker even in the squad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBKnight Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 In York there's - naturally - quite a bit of interest about how on earth Sinead Peach didn't make the squad. Here is Mike Richards' justification, which makes the England set-up sound cliquey and definitely not based on current form :- https://www.yorkpress.co.uk/sport/22739007.peach-just-didnt-quite-make-england-squad-says-richards/ Sinead's twitter response is quite revealing....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoFan Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 Yes I believe it’s a bit cliquey, this will be the end of Richards because he has shown no flexibility at all. Not picking Channy Crowl is ridiculous too, she has been a foundation of Saints success over past 2 seasons. 2 Everything under the sun is in tune But the sun is eclipsed by the moon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
