How Orford and Watmough (final the exception) don't get in the Aussie teams shows you the depth they have. We need most of the talented youngsters to fulfil their potential. In 5-10 years the english team could look like:
Smith
Ainscough
Shenton
Watkins
Armstrong
Wheeler
S. Tomkins
S. Burgess
McShane
Hargreaves
Tomkins
Clough
Westerman

References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11
