:conf:

its simply the fact that they have a game to go and injuries could occur so the players aren't named until their season is over, hense why Sam and Lockers have been announced this week

A dark horse but a better back rower than Harrison would have been Joel or even Mossop. Somebody I rate as having lots of potential is Ferres of Castleford. I just do not see Harrison as a back rower.

I would not like to be a back for England v Aus in the 4 Nations. If Inglis gets 1 v 1 with Myler he will murder him.

Whilst your selection of Mossop or Tomkins over Hanson may have some strong merit, there is one over-riding problem you may have overlooked here CP.

THEY ARE NOT SAMOAN!!! :lol:

Are they? :eh:

I thought Joel may get in, also Prescott (as he's not been named in Ireland squad).

i think its a bit of a disgrace there are 6 wire players in there. how joel and prescott didnt get in i will never no. and as an outside shot, MM. might not get into the final squad, but i would have 4 hookers in there, moore, roby as the main two, and higham and MM as the back ups.

if the 6 wire players were that great, they would have made the play offs. bridge wouldnt get in my squad over gleeson, who has been on form for the past few weeks.

joel or harrison, no contest, joel every time. all harrison can do is tackle. harrison has no realistic chance of making the cut either. ellis, lockers, sinfield, JJB, westwood and burgess (should they chose to use him as a back row rather than a forward) are all ahead.
