I have just seen the latest England elite training squad and Skysports website and I can't believe what I'm seeing!
Lomax has been included which I'm fine with but so has Leon Pryce?

Is it just me or is that a real shocker?

Full squad: Ryan Atkins, Chris Bridge (both Warrington), Tom Briscoe (Hull), Danny Brough (Huddersfield), Garreth Carvell (Warrington), Eorl Crabtree, Leroy Cudjoe (both Huddersfield), Brett Ferres (Castleford), James Graham (St Helens), Ryan Hall (Leeds), Ben Harrison (Warrington), Ben Jones-Bishop, Jamie Jones-Buchanan (both Leeds), Jonny Lomax (St Helens), Danny McGuire (Leeds), Michael McIlorum (Wigan), Adrian Morley, Richie Myler (both Warrington), Sean O'Loughlin (Wigan), Jamie Peacock (Leeds), Paul Prescott (Wigan), Leon Pryce (St Helens), Luke Robinson (Huddersfield), James Roby, Michael Shenton (both St Helens), Kevin Sinfield (Leeds), Joel Tomkins, Sam Tomkins (both Wigan), Kris Welham (Hull KR), Ben Westwood (Warrington), Jon Wilkin (St Helens), Kirk Yeaman (Hull).

ben harrison, jamie jones and leon pryce?

Pryce is the best 6 in England by miles when fit. Bit of a punt at the moment, but a fit and fresh Pryce is up there with the best England have, no question. With him potentially playing a key, decision making position, he needs to be around the squad.

We lack strike in the backs and Pryce has that in spades.

McNamara has drafted Lomax,Yeaman, JJB, Carvell and Atkins into squad.
Burrows, Clubb, LMS, Liam Watts and Peter Fox out of it.

The inclusion of Pryce, JJB and Ferres and the omission of Mossop is an absolute joke in my opinion but what can we expect from that muppet of a coach

Aslong as McNamara picks players like Morley and Peacock we are going to have no chance at beating Australia. They are gettin past their best now and have had their chance at that level and it's time to give their spots to younger players who are in better form. Why has Lee Mossop been left out??? If Leon Pryce is picked on reputation shouldn't Gaz Hock be in the squad he has a good reputation for playing against the Aussies, I think its in Tez Newtons book he talks about how on the last GB tour the Aussies seem scared of Hock???

Mossop can count himself very unlucky not to be in that.

Sorry Vee but I can't agree. Pryce has never proved himself at international level and Danny Maguire and Kevin Brown are both better strike players now. Not forgetting Sam Tomkins and Widdop can both play 6.

Pryce should not be in that squad and would be lucky to get into the Saxons squad if McNamara had any clue!

Picking on current form again I see. What a guy.

Knights

Saxons are union

What does Mossop have to do to get in the squad?
