I don't know whether he's another one of the certainties who are being wrapped up in cotton wool. Yes, he is there.

Tex Evans Thigh Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I might be reading to much into it, but selecting Williams as captain suggests he'll be a starter against Samoa. Wane seemed to suggest Welsby would be playing in the halves which kind of puts all the 'Sneyd's kicking game against PI teams' theories in a bit of a hole. 1 Formerly Alistair Boyd-Meaney fifty thousand Poouunds from Keighley...weve had im gid."

jim_57 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Fijian NRL grand final players rested understandably so, still should give England a decent hit out even with Kikau, Koroisau, Sivo & Turuva out. Also playing 3 English based players not in their squad, not a bad idea to give them some experience, I assume they’re on standby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WN83 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Starting team for tonight is probably as expected in the backs. The surprises come more in the pack, with the two old boys (Hill and Cooper) starting at prop, Ackers at hooker and McMeekan ahead of Batchelor in the second row. I’m not sure how much to read in to it mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris22 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I know it would be a huge call to drop Tomkins but he hasn't looked fit for a while now. A fit Tomkins is unquestionably in, but I don't think he is. Young has earned his spot. I'd go: Welsby, Makinson, Farnworth, Watkins, Young, Williams, Sneyd, Burgess, Ackers, Thompson, Bateman, Whitehead, Radley Knowles, Lees, Oledski, McIlorum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would personally have Welsby and Sneyd in the halves. Well, actually may be inclined to have Welsby at full back and Williams and Sneyd in the halves but, as you say, Tomkins will play of fit. But a nice problem to have. 2 "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

Indeed - much rather have a headache over who to play where than concern over who is playing. Radley or Knowles at 13, Whitehead, Bateman, McMeeken and Batchelor all vying for edge positions - all of a sudden i'm feeling like we have some good squad depth. Only wing really concerns me if either Young or Makinson pick up a knock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry mate we have Hall who has an amazing international scoring to games record and has scored more points against NZ and Oz than anyother player at the WC. Shame he couldn't prove it in the NRL but if his team mates don't pass to him its hard to score a try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trouble being his last Test try was 5 yrs ago when he wasn’t a slow 34yr old with the turning circle of an oil tanker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
