| England have no chance of winning it, both Australia and New Zealand are miles ahead of us, at least they can't blame it on our players for not winning it.
McBanna has a few weeks left before he gets the boot.

| McBanana is a buffoon. We had to put up with him as head coach for too long and these picks just prove what he is.
McIllorum has been below average, Roby has hardly played, and Lunt has been the best hooker with Higham just behind. Brett Ferres is the stand out second rower this season, and big Earole has been excellent apart from a couple of dodgy performances right at the end. You have a right to feel a bit peeved!!

| Not the best selections, it seems that if you play in Oz it automatically makes you better than players over here...no Eorl or Lunt is baffling really.Maybe there is a perfectly understandable reason why these 2 have been overlooked...

| Quote the stella kid="the stella kid"Hock is a liabilty who should be nowhere near the squad.
Ablett though is in decent form and worth a place in the squad but should not be first choice. He is far better though than Wilkin or JJB who i feared would be picked.
Hardaker is a must pick as who else is going to cover for fullback if Tomkins gets injured.'"
Ratchford? can cover full back, centre and halves

| mossop showed against you and leeds that he is better than crabtree, but crabtree should of been in place of tom burgess who has only played a handful of games and hasn't really stood out in them.
Mcilorum is an old school hooker, Lunt is an identical copy of Roby and Roby has been shown to be ineffective against aus. Unless you win the majority of the ruck lunt and roby become average.
ferres has been in great form and is in the cover squad because he's no better than o'loughlin, westwood, burgess or hock.
Brough withdrew him self because the coach didn't come crawling to him pleading to accept an England invite.
And on top of that your big players have choked in the play offs

| No, Brough wasn't picked because Macnamara is a thin-skinned egoist with little or no managerial skills and can't cope with players who don't insert their tongues in various orifices around his body. His reasons for not selecting him ie "He wasn't committed to England" after he chose to play for Scotland once Macnamara had ruled him out of England contention are laughable given that at least one of the players he has picked has stated he would play for another country if they picked them to.
Similar to his "I haven't picked Huddersfield players because they haven't played well in big matches" when the one player he has picked reserved his worst game of the season for last week's match against Warrington. Plus one of his "untouchable" half backs (to the best of my knowledge) hasn't won a Superleague play off game in his career if he's played in one.

Exactly. McNamara's justifications are weak. Weak. He's an egotistical person, comes across as arrogant and IMO only got the job as GB coach because no one else wanted it.
Some of his comments are derogatory IMO. Martin Offiah said in the MoS awards night that the perception of Huddersfield has changed but it seems not in McNamara's head. Strange as well because he used to play for us, he did well and was well regarded by the fans generally. I'm not sure if someone farted in his hat at a race night somewhere or something but he certainly seems to have a bit of a downer on us.

| What people are forgetting over Brough is Scotland came calling and asked him to play for them AFTER Mcnamara had told Broughy he wasn't in his plans or whatever was said between them.
What's Danny supposed to do, sit at home and watch the World Cup with a beer in his hand because the National coach has a personal issue with him ...or represent a country that he is qualified to and have made it clear they will build their side around him??
He didn't choose Scotland over England, England (or its coach) refused to pick him !!

| I read elsewhere that having one good season isn't justification to pick Brough! How laughable is that?! The timeframe for jutification moves depending on who the player is!
After all, if that's the case, how does George Burgess get picked? How does Tom? How long do you have to play poor to get dropped? It's just another slash weak argument that is used to jutify personal bias.

| I remember a Fans' Forum, where Danny was the main speaker, it was before the 1st Exiles game, when he said that he'd had a phone call from McBananarama saying that he was going with his original half-back pairing.
That didn't give Danny McBrough any other options than to nail his colours to Scotlands' mast.
I seriously think the only reason three Burgesses are in the side is that it gives them free return tickets to meet up with their old mates in Bradford and Dewsbury, and do a bit of clubbing out of the watchful eye of Russell Crowe.
