Good squad that is in my book, totally agree with leaving out Deacon and Sinfield, neiter are world class in my book. Deacons game is very limited, it mostly revolves around his kicking game and his very basic ball skills and basically setting up basic plays from first man. Sinfield suffers from the fact that he isnt big enough to get in to the team in the forwards, not against the Kiwis and Ausssies, and hes isnt good enough at internatianol level as a halfback, he is a good player, not brilliant. As for Carney, he is worth a place in the squad at least, I am sure he will be tested to the max before Noble even contemplates naming him in the team, at Wigan Carney is one of the few game breakers we have, hence the reason he was rushed back a few times. Diskin is a hard worker, I would prefare to see higham play before him, he has far more pace, and he is alot better with the ball. O'loughlin is worth his place on merit, not to sure about Wild though. I am surprised Gilmour isnt in the squad, but as we saw Noble doesnt like Gilmour or he wouldnt have released him.
