It's a long time since I've seen a player with such confidence and such an array of talents as Jake Connor has, I can see him going to the NRL in a couple of years and doing really well over there. Hard to believe he's only 23

"The new Richard Whiting"

A smuch as I liked whiting, connor is several notches higher in quality terms

Wasn't my quote.

George Burgess on Twitter seems to think he is fit and travelling?

It's a reply from his Instagram account to the England RL post. Bit strange.

Bateman didn't look too clever towards the end of the game today so he may miss out.

Danny may arguably be the best in ESL but not the best for England/GB. Must confess I am a big fan of Josh Hodgson and went to see him play for Canberra against West Tigers yesterday. First game back after over 6 months out with an ACL injury. Came on halfway into the match with Wests 12 -4 up and went off 10 minutes from time as Canberra cruised to a 12-48 win due to a superlative performance by Hodgson, who was the MOM and will win the best NRL player performance of the round by a country mile. Best performance I have witnessed by an English/GB hooker for decades.



He should always be one of the first players picked for England/GB.

Williams injured apparently and won't be playing.

Connor in the 17 according to twitter

… both Taylor and Connor now confirmed in the 17.

…. and both on the bench.
