IMO Welsby and Lomax are the two most talented English players in SL.

When I see England teams named with neither of them in the starting XIII I genuinely can't believe what I'm reading.

But sport is all about opinions I suppose.

What would be your team mate?

I’d go something like

Welsby
Makinson
Bateman (not ideal but can’t see him not being in 17)
Newman
Handley
Tomkins
Lomax
Walmsley
McIlorum (pray Roby rethinks)
Thompson
Farrell
Batchellor
Knowles

Radley
Burgess
Whitehead/KPP (x factor)
Oledski/Hill/Cooper

Probably forgetting someone obvious.

I'd be fitting Herbie Farnworth in at centre assuming he's available for selection

Didn’t he have a season ending injury a few months back. He’d be an obvious starter if fit.

Honestly I think Weslby has been miiiiiiiiles better than Tomkins this season. Sam has been quite poor at times (and I really rate him).

I can't think of any real justification for people having Williams ahead of Welsby at 6 either other than the fact he's played in the NRL.

Have to agree with you over Williams,nowhere near his form in that season of NRL got out of him,suspect he will start with Lomax andTomkins at 1,again I agree with you about Welsby been in fine form but I’m sure Sam will be fullback and captain.

Re: James McDonnell : Fri Jul 29, 2022 11:53 pm  

I don't think I know better than Shaun Wane, but I like the idea of Welsby at full-back and Sam in the halves.

Re: James McDonnell : Fri Jul 29, 2022 11:55 pm  

How will Williams go on Friday? I'm guessing, pretty well. We will need to be on our game.
