McGuire has been the best SO in SL this year and it'll be good to see how he goes knowing Stompkins is on his heels.'"
But how old is Rob Burrow - 27?
He's years at the top level left in the tank. Myler/Eastmond should have to earn the right to displace him.
Even accounting for my Rhinos bias, I can't see why England don't try playing Burrow, McGuire and Sinfield together.

Because then the usual suspects from the towns that have no other purpose than to serve as dormitories for those who want to work in Leeds or Manchester but can't afford to live there will be up in arms bleating about big club bias again
Why pick proven winners when you can pick the likes of Myler and O'Loughlin?

Haven't you somehow missed out the most important position in modern Rugby League there?
Not that it'll make for happy reading.

| Just had a quick look round some other boards to see people's reaction on the squad, Wigan fans predictably pick O'Loughlin at 13 ahead of Sinfield, with Sinfield not even making the 17.
Even allowing for my Leeds bias when will they get it through their heads that he isn't fit to lace Sinfield's boots ?
I am surprised at Burrow being left out, but would certainly look at giving Eastmond, or Tomkins a go alongside McGuire in the halves, with who ever misses out coming off the bench.

If all you want your 13 to do is cart the ball up and make tackles all day, then O'Loughlin is a better bet for that job than Sinfield IMO.
If you want a bit more variety and a good kicking game then Todd Flanders doesn't even get close.
The only way I would want either Tomkins or Eastmond on the bench is if GB were going to go with just one hooker in the 17. To have a hooker and half back on the bench would be madness IMO.

There is not much to choose between either player but O'Loughlin has looked the more consistent so far at International level.
Sinfield plays more as a tackling halfback at Leeds but I'm not sure that role translates too well.
Who do they have as first choice goal kicker?

| Looking on the bright side, we'll have a stronger team to put out on Boxing Day with less Rhinos being picked for England duty.
