I'll support England RL no matter what in the 4 Nations, however, does anyone else have very little excitement over this tournament when the league leaders and grand final winners have no representatives in the squad?

It's not a good attitude, but part of me wouldn't be too disappointed if they got their a**e kicked for turning their back on our lads in the selection process.

I certainly want England to win but will be rooting for Mose to have a good game.

Re: England : Wed Oct 15, 2014 2:20 pm  

I'll be supporting England. There weren't that many of our players who had much of a shout. Roby would have been in there but pulled out, there really aren't any other automatic selections from our side. Makinson is probably very unlucky to not be in the squad and Walmsley and LMS would be in if I were picking it.

If we settle down and follow up this season's success like we should, then there will be a few lads (Walmsley, Amor, LMS and Makinson) that should be aiming to make a mockery of this England selection.

Agreed. No representatives will only benefit Saints next season. I've just always enjoyed seeing our lads in past Britain & England sides. I'll never forget Long, Wellens & Gilmour in particular turning the Aussies over in their own backyard years back.

LMS, Amor & Makinson have earned a place.

I hope they do well, but i can't help thinking the Saints lads would have been a handful for the opposition.

I agree they probably all deserve a place in the squad but they won't get passed players named allready?

Graham, 2 x Burgees and Hill are probably all better than LMS & Amour.

Only Makinson i'd say would push for a starting place.( can't argue with Hall & Charnley before him)

I'm not aggrieved by any of the omissions, but you would have thought one or two would have crept through.

I've usually little interest in the England team,however I will be cheering them on when they play Australia.

They are one of England's biggest rivals at any sport.

Having been there, there's nothing worse than a grinning gloating Aussie, smug after a victory over the 'Poms'.

i remember the first time we went over for the 1992 tour they were giving us some stick as we arrived at passport control in Sydney.

If you had your Wigin shirt on and were sucking your Uncle Joe's Mintballs whilst humming George Formby's song about your famous pier, I'm not in the least surprised
