It is a strange squad, only 20 players which is fair enough as only 17 can play and there is a round of SL to be played this weekend when knocks/injuries could occur, but the balance of positions is completely wrong:
2 Fullbacks
2 Wingers
1 Centre
1 full time half back (Chase)
1 half back/loose forward (Sinfield)
1 half back/hooker (Burrow)
1 Hooker (who has been out 10 weeks and played one game since returning)
4 Props
6 Second Rows
1 Loose Forward
He really should be picking centres to play centre, I suspect either Hardaker or possibly Ferres will play centre, which is not the best he could have gone for. I think he has decided Atkins is not up to international RL defensively, but he could have picked Goulding from Wigan, Yeaman or Crookes from Hull our own Joe Wardle (though he may be set for Scotland with Broughy) or any other Englishman who actually plays centre - madness.
Not that I am actually bothered as a Scot myself, but I've been down here long enough to actually quite like you lot!
