First of all would like to say what a disgrace it is that brough feels second best because of mcnamara, he could have been a big part of our plans, by far one of the best talents in this country. I also am wondering why burrow has been picked isnt doing anything at the moment and i feel that other hookers are performing at a better standard like lunt. I even think mcshane is outplaying him IMO. I dont think cudjoe makes enough yards too in my opinion and think he would only get pushed back by the aussies.

But thats just my opinion, what would your 24 man squad for the rugby league world cup be?

Mine would be
4 Reed
5 R.Hall
6 Widdop
7 Sinfield
8 Graham
9 Roby
10 Mossop
11 S.Burgess
12 Westwood
13 O loughlin

subs
14 Crabtree
15 Lunt
16 Ferres
17 G.Burgess
18 Mcgillvary
19 Lineham
20 Chase
21 Hardaker
22 Ellis
23 Hock
24 Jones bUchanon
reserves
25 Ablett
26 Lomax
27 atkins
28 carvell
29 farrell
30 mcclorum

S. Tomkins
Watkins
Hall
Sinfield
Chase
Graham
Roby
G. Burgess
Hock
Ellis
S. Burgess
Crabtree
Farrell
Widdop

They would be my only certainties

Cudjoe has made more metres per carry this season than Atkins,Goulding or Shenton and is only just behind Watkins and his figures will have been improved by his spell at full back . So not sure why you think he has no go forward in attack.

Still dont understand why people still pick Sinfield in the halves. If he didnt have a kicking game he would be average at best.

Its got to be Widdop and Chase.

Chase is a pain at times with his bad habits and one man show stuff. But the things he does are still brilliance. Along with Widdop these 2 could crucify Australia and New Zealand. Sinfield will merely go along with some good tackling and kicking but nothing in attack.

Widdop and chase are in the squad you know.

Crucify Australia of course they would

If Mylers form continues he's got to be in the squad 21 try assists this year...

? He is in the squad

Haha I was meant to quote the OP, he's not in his squad

The post was aimed at people who pick sinfield over Chase and Widdop. I do know they are in the squad. And yes at times, Australia wont be able to handle the pair. Having the Burgess bros and hammer the ball in will give Chase and Widdop time to break them down.

I agree. Brough should be ashamed of his own unprofessional attitude.

As for the squad, I'd go with:

1. Tomkins
2. Charnley
3. Watkins
4. Cudjoe
5. Hall
6. Sinfield
7. Widdop
8. Burgess G
9. Roby
10. Mossop
11. Farrell
12. Ellis
13. Burgess S

14. Lunt/Burrow
15. Westwood
16. Crabtree
17. Graham

18. Burrow/Lunt
19. O'Loughlin
20. Morley
21. Ferres
22. Lineham
23. Hardaker
24. Myler

Starting team-

Hardaker
Charnley
Watkins
Reed
Hall
Widdop
Tomkins
Graham
McIlorum
S Burgess
Ellis
Farrell
O'Loughlin

subs
Crabtree
G Burgess
Westwood
Roby

Rest of the squad-

Lomax
Cudjoe
Myler
Burrow
Hill
Mossop
Hock
Ferres

Not a cat in hells chance it will be that though.

I don't get why people want to play Tomkins at half back when he doesn't play there.

I feel a few of these players are struggling for form but my team would be if all fit and playing well...

1 Tomkins
2 Charnley
3 Reed
4 Watkins
5 Hall
6 Sinfield
7 Widdop
8 S.Burgess
9 Roby
10 Graham
11 Farrell
12 Ellis
13 O'Loughlin
R Ablett
R L.Burgess
R G.Burgess
R Lunt
Squad: Westwood, Hill, Myler, Hardaker, Mossop, Burrow, Crabtree.
