We're so far removed from a likely trophy at international level, I think you've got to play your best squad, regardless of age. The knights are there for the up and coming players. Besides, there's no reason a prop wont still be going strong at 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.

I agree.

No need to worry about Lynch, Peacock will still be trundling up the middle with Morley.

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

Age shouldn't come into it, if that's being young or old. If the player is playing well then he should play.

It's ok saying we should be building fir the future but who knows what 2013 brings as it's years off.

IMO he should pick a team that he feels can beat the Aussies and kiwis no matter about age.

To be fair to the idiot in charge of our national team,it's pretty tough picking a team good enough to best the Aussies and kiwis when our team virtually picks it's self.

At the end of the day we just ain't good enough.
