Woeful positioning and weak as when It comes to tackling. Is he the in the best two wingers that we possess today? What happend to Makinson . He is a top 3 winger in our game and is easily England’s best come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommygilf Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Seems like it will be announced at 10.30 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattSantos Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Roby's distribution in the GF was orgasmic. I'd be begging him to play for that alone. I think we'll do alright, but against the better teams, i fear we may be a bit light in the back 3 coming out of our own half. If Tomkins was to play 6/7, who would be a suitable 1? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPosh Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Not a lot to dislike, there. I'd have had a couple differently, but I don't think there's anything 'wrong'. 1 People called Romans they go the house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think there's a decent chance Sutton may have quietly withdrawn from the squad. His missus gave birth (slightly premature) to their twins a couple of days ago, so I reckon he'd have been hard pushed to feel comfortable about leaving them so soon after. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WN83 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Happy with the squad. There will always be the odd player here and there you’d consider changing but in the main it’s fine. I’m a bit surprised with KPP being in there. As a Wigan fan I love his potential but I don’t think he’s quite there yet but it’ll be a good experience for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have had a couple differently, but I don't think there's anything 'wrong'. I agree. With what is available, I think it is as good as we could muster. Really pleased to see Ackers in there and very happy that Oledski has been passed fit with all the drop outs. I'm ok with Hall in. With Walmsley unavailable I think some size was needed in the middle to join Burgess with Oledski, Thompson and Lees more mobile. Sneyd offers game management and its either Williams or Welsby alongside him for attacking spark (Tomkins will be at #1 as he is named captain). I would like to think that McMeeken and Batchelor are a chance on the edges to oust Bateman and Whitehead although they will be favourites. I think I would go with... 1) Tomkins 2) Young 3) Watkins 4) Farnworth 5) Makinson 6) Welsby 7) Sneyd 8 ) Hill 9) Radley 10) Oledski 11) McMeeken 12) Bateman 13) Knowles 14) Burgess 15) Thompson 16) Ackers 17) Batchelor Radley offers a solid defensive middle to start the game and Ackers comes on later. Bateman offers some cover on the edges should we have injuries to wingers or centres. I think Welsby just has to play. he makes things happen and he can play his own game with Sneyd as the organiser/tactical kicker. Watkins and Pearce-Paul must be selected as centres and I would go with Watkins to partner Farnworth. Makinson and Young are both great at returning the ball and have pace to finish.

It is a different squad then expected but I think it will go well. I also like the inclusions of Sneyd, Ackers and KPP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davo5 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Oh Dear, Hill,Cooper,Hall,Mcllorum,over the hill plodders who should be nowhere near an England squad & a halfback in Williams who hasn’t put in a decent performance for 18 months. 7 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedfordshire Bronco Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 (edited) Why is Ryan Hall in the squad? He is slower than my old granny now. He's big for the exit carries but that ain't what we need him for....unless we are picking him as a front rower? If there is a chance of Handley playing he should be in the squad Edited September 30, 2022 by Bedfordshire Bronco 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedfordshire Bronco Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 (edited) Mark Sneyd is our first choice 7 Just let that sink in I see it already has with the bookies ...we are now out to 14-1 rank outsiders For what it's worth I still think we'll beat Samoa easily....just not Aus or NZ Edited September 30, 2022 by Bedfordshire Bronco 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your being a bit over dramatic. It will be a interesting squad but quite like some of the inclusions. It has a good mix of youth and experience and I have a massive feeling all English fans will be praising Wane on his squad selection in a months time. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Some older players that I wouldn't have picked but its good to see the likes of Sneyd, Welsby, Batchelor, Farnworth and Young in there. At least he has picked the young and in form players that many have been calling for. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Well I’d like to kick off … but with what we’ve got available , it would be a quibble . I wouldn’t have picked Mcilorum but gone for a more threatening runner , or picked Hall .I’m glad KPP made it . I’m guessing Sutton may not be available or he’d be in ? Otherwise and overall all the best to them 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Marshall deserves it more but I don’t hate the selection, also if he starts every game he will become Englands most capped player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barley Mow Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 From this squad, I think I'd be looking at something like this: 1 Sam Tomkins (Catalans Dragons) - Captain 2 Tommy Makinson (St Helens) 3 Kallum Watkins (Salford Red Devils) 4 Herbie Farnworth (Brisbane Broncos) 5 Dom Young (Newcastle Knights) 6 Marc Sneyd (Salford Red Devils) 7 George Williams (Warrington Wolves) 8 Tom Burgess (South Sydney Rabbitohs) 9 Victor Radley (Sydney Roosters) 10 Mikolaj Oledzki (Leeds Rhinos) 11 John Bateman (Wigan Warriors) 12 Elliott Whitehead (Canberra Raiders) 13 Morgan Knowles (St Helens) 14 Jack Welsby (St Helens) 15 Luke Thompson (Canterbury Bulldogs) 16 Andy Ackers (Salford Red Devils) 17 Chris Hill (Huddersfield Giants) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
