@loverugbyleague: Widdop in as Chase dropped from England squad

Strange decision. I guess its for disciplinary reasons otherwise why waste game time with Chase at half back when Widdop and Sinfield couldve been developing combinations for the Semi Final.

What a mess. Widdop on hiding to nothing after only 54 minutes game time. Good luck to the lad though.

Rangi Chase would have been a target from the Kiwis and he would have taken some stick both verbally and physically. Three years in the planning has come down to this, no pressure then! I will be there, looking forward to my £5.00 hot dog.

can't believe it really. Massive call - it'll mean and entire change in attacking structure. Widdop and Chase are polarised in their styles of play

Fantastic news !!!!









He should never have been allowed to soil the England shirt in the first place.



Never mind looking for a reason why he was dropped, can anyone out there

justify playing him on his performances so far ?

Jack, I would say the same about Kevin Sinfield, good club man but not a club scrum half, either, and has a distinct lack of pace for the position he has been given at ~International level.

Yes totally agree with everything you say.

I'd have Chase over Sinfield anyday. A half-back that has a bit of flair and can produce some magic and a half-back that seems to spend most of his time being anonymous 'til he kicks a ball. If Chase contributes to this country, lives here, loves it like his own then it's a none issue for me as to whether he can play for England if he has pride in the shirt.

I wouldn´t have either in the side. They are not international standard.

Sinfield has been England's best overall player of the series so far & lots of fans need to understand what his role is, because he has been consistently good at it! England would be a much poorer side without him & I am unsure what the guy has to do!



Now, the man that has been the poorest starting player for England so far is supposed to be the superstar... go figure!

I'm just looking forward to Ablett getting smashed around the park, he won't have anywhere to hide from the Kiwis.



Is that wrong.
