Chris Hill selected in the squad
Can understand it, thought we looked light on props before Thompson got banned.
NY idea when the full squad is announced?

Marshall finally in a squad! Much deserved. Wardle out through injury. I recall him grabbing something, as though he was hurt on Saturday. It's such a shame that these injuries keep cropping up around international time because I think he would be huge for us.

A long way from Wigan
Wardle and Farnworth would be a great centre partnership.

As good, if not better than anything any other nation could throw at us IMO. They're probably the best centres on either side of the globe. Such a shame we're yet to see it in action and it's also a shame that at a time we have a great backline, we're now struggling in the forwards. Imagine if you had a backline like this one, with a forward pack like the one in the early 2000's, with guys like Morley, Peacock, Fielden, Sculthrope, Farrell etc in it.

I've read that Wardle has 'withdrawn himself from selection'. Is he injured?

"I have this system where I support England first, then the other Home Nations, then the rest of the Commonwealth, then the rest of the World, then France."
Yes, apparently Wardle and Johnstone are injured. Everyone else who didn't make the cut, such as Dupree, was a form based decision.

Tbh if you look at the backs from that time, they weren't
awful . In the 2003 Ashes we had Radlinski, Carney, Connolly/Gleeson, Senior/Gilmour, Scully and Long/Deacon in the backs. Richard Horne on the wing was the obvious glaring anomaly
Other than Carney, we didn't have a single decent British winger around then. Unless you count Mark Calderwood but I doubt anyone does.
The other glaring anomaly was the coach - David Waite was absolutely useless. Anyone even slightly competent would've got us at least 1 win in that series.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row

I am not totally anti Hill. I wanted Wigan to sign him when he left Warrington and some Saints fans wanted to sign him for this coming season.
However I do think Mulhern has been really good for Leigh for the past two years and would have been my choice for this series.

Yes. Apparently he woke up Sunday morning with a mouth injury due to excessive smiling Saturday evening.

Yeah agree, surprised mulhern hasn't been picked.
I thought hill would be as much about culture as playing ability and wane has said something about loyalty and hill playing on while injured in the past.
