I'm all for putting out the strongest possible team available, for a test match. But how on Earth can this guy be selected for GB?
No, this is nothing against him beig a Saints player and I know that he is classed as eligible because he has lived over here for a certain length of time. But, IMO if you are playing for GB you should be British. He doesn't even qualify through any ancestry.
I would love to have a player of his calibre available to us to come off the bench, but not a foreign player. What next? Trent will be turning out for GB!!!

I cant agree with you, Ive never rated Tickle and i still dont.I dont think hes good enough for G.B.
I thought when Wigan got rid of Tickle it was a great bit of buisness as its given Hanson a chance to shine and IMO was one of the most consistant players last year.

Tickle was one of the great "what ifs". Much undoubted talent, but, a "big time charlie" with an ego to boot. He could have been a real star for the club.
He wasn't missed by Wigan last season, and IMO wont be at any point in the future. His attitude and application was more than questionable (as was his "one on one" defence).
