IMO the build up for 2013 World Cup needs to start now.'" Thats my view on it, give the younger players a chance to show some of what they are capable of now at that level and then the next 4 years hopefully a team can gel together ready for the World Cup.

Eastmond defo in, with Wilkin, Roby, Graham and Moore.
No Fa'asavalu, Pryce, Wellens or Gardner from last years shambles.
Cany argue with the Saints inclusions/omissions.

Do you think he'll be that bothered?
I'm glad the Saints contingent is down this year after the World Cup humiliation. I'm another one who has no qualms about the players called up.
It would be good to see all the young players have some game time in the Four Nations. I think we should treat that comp as a practice run (or one of a couple of practice runs!) for the World Cup. Since the old guard clearly isn't working, new, young hopefuls should get their chance. After seeing Eastmond perform, including the goal kicks, at the Grand Final it is clear he can take pressure, which I think is great because sometimes a guy of that age may be a bit overawed by the occasion. However, he seemed to rise to it and he played out of his skin.

| I think Pryce should still be in there. OK, his form hasn't been the best but surely he is a much better option than Chris Bridge? If he does hit form, he would really worry the Aussies, i bet there ting themselves at facing Bridge. Even if he didn't get picked, he gives plenty of versatility and if he did hit form, could be devastating.

| Quote sgtwilko="sgtwilko"burrow is on of the tougest players in the world and is still better than any other half back in contention for the 7 shirt! Eastmonds can't even get a gig at 7 for his own club let alone England plus he's so soft, When he's been targeted in defence and attack week in week out for 8 years lets see how many times he get knocked out! at the minute eastmonds gets injured in every game he plays in! tomkin might get a game against France? Mcguire and burrow will play in the halfs when it matters.
I respect your right to an opinion! I just think it's total bull $hit'" that's me owned

You are joking, right? After his World Cup non-appearance and having not appeared at Saints for months Pryce does not deserve to be recognised in any way at all. He should be dropped next season and someone more deserving with more commitment given a chance. But then I'd drop Meli and Gardner too along with Hargreaves, so I'd probably need to start recruiting from the terraces.
I think the players chosen from Saints are the right players to play for England. I just hope Eastmond isn't bench fodder but actually gets game time. I'm sure the others will see game time as they are more experienced and clearly Smith still holds them in some regard after the World Cup.

Pryce has been in the England / GB setup for 10 years - and never done anything of note.
On form this year he shouldnt even be in the Saints team - never mind the England team; and his performances and attitude last year in the World Cup mean that he should never be selected again.

OK, lets not pick anyone that didn't play well last year in the World Cup, see how far we get then. Nearly everyone, bar the odd player, had a nightmare from the start of the compeition until the end, not just Pryce. The way some of our fans are talking, we are the worst team in the league. Tell you what, fans of near enough every other club could only dream of having the talent we have in our team. Finishing second in the league, reaching the Challenge Cup Final and the Grand Final, with that team must be some sort of miracle, i'm surprised we didn't get club of the year. How can people give Potter so much stick if we are still able to compete and be up there at the top of the table?

I saw Chris Bridge play centre in 3 games for wire this season and he looked very impressive in all of them (and a [inatural [/icentre to boot). Given the omission of Gleeson, i imagine that's where he's going to be used. The other centres are Shenton, Smith and Sykes. I'd personally go with Bridge and Shenton.

I'm not a fan of his, as you have probably realised. I've seen him a few times this season, and i've never really noticed anything of note from him. Obviously, i hope he proves me wrong and plays very well for England. From the centres you named, i'd go for Shenton and Smith, on ability. Although, i don't agree with Smith been named as hes off to Union.
