My OP was about Jonny Lomax, a young, home grown player from St Helens who has had his first call up to the England squad.

Why the fook are a Wigan player and old crone from Leeds being discussed?

From a coach that harps on about bulding for the future though? Mossop has been immense this season and makes a lot of people's dream team (not just Wigan fans)

I've just read on Saints website that Jonny Lomax has been called up to the full England squad.

Congratulations to him. It will be exciting to see him play at some point. Not sure he's ready for this Four Nations but who knows? We may see him line up against the Aussies or Kiwis in the autumn!

Meanwhile, LMS has been dropped from all England squads.

I'm a massive fan of what he has done for us this but I'm not sure he is ready either and hope he doesn't freeze giving a loss of confidence.

As far as LMS is concerned, what do you expect from McBanana?
The guy is the most clueless england coach since goodway.
Yeah don't sack him bradford we will have him for england - you couldn't make it up.

We're doomed I tell you ...doomed..

I do agree that Mossop should definitely be in the squad. However, Crabtree showed up well 2 years ago in the Tri Nations over here and I think he offers something a little bit different. Not sure he'd be in my 17 and I'm not sure he's really kicked on but at his best he's a real handful.

Agree with that.

Crabtree brings plenty to the table at international level because he's pretty unique.

Mossop should be a walk in though. He's been our best prop this season and after Graham the best in the league.

Andy Lynch has been better than Mossop in 2011 IMO, with a terrible team around him.

Good player Lynch, would be a decent addition.

But your talking about another player who will be 32 by the time we start the Internationals in October/November.


We need to be looking forward to the 2013 World Cup. Lynch will then be 34.

Why do we? Winds me up this building for the future lark - this is England in the 2011 Four Nations; you pick your best squad/team and try to win the competition.
