The only way to prove international class is to be given an international game however I do think there are better players out there in the SL that should be in before him but on performances so far this season Fox and Brisk will be or should be nowhere near.

Morley

Atkins

Bridge

Riley

Westwood

Harrison



Could all be in contention to miss out for us

I think that there may be an unwritten agreement between the RFL and the clubs that only a couple of players from any one club will be selected.

I think Briscoe, Tickle and Tansey are all a chance at Hull TBH.

If Tansey gets to pull on that England shirt I will be shocked. The lad cant catch any kind of a kick, he makes plenty of poor reads, being played out of position at full back is the reason for this but if you was to play him in his natural half back role he would be a very average player not fit to lace Pryce's boots. There are at least 5 better English full backs than Tansey and at least three of them are fit and in form.



With Ellis and Burgess missing along with Wilkin I could actually see Tickle getting a hit out there. Our front row should be our biggest strength however our back row for this mid season test might be a tad weaker than it will be at the end of the year.



Westerman and O'Loughlin should contest the 13 shirt with Sean taking that spot IMO. Westwood is an option for one second row spot leaving the oposite side open to numerous players applications.

I agree with most your points particularly about the back row but I would be interested to know which 5 English full backs you rate higher then Tansey this season.

Halley.

Cudjoe.

Jones-Bishop.

Briscoe.

Wellens.

Pryce.

Whiting.

Halley who was dropped for Kearney when Orford was fit?



Cudjoe the right winger who stands in for Hodgson?



Jones Bishop who's injury coincided with a Quins return to form? (TBF he is one for the future

)

Briscoe poor form this year bud.

Wellens not much better then Briscoe.

Pryce, who is this full back called Pryce that you speak of?



Whiting - could play prop and get MOM. Super Leagues most versatile player of quality.





I know Tansey wears the black and white but he is a chance cos Barrie McDermott just said so on Boots an all.

Tansey will never play full back in international rugby.

He may well get a squad place against France though.

squad place i could agree with as a versatile player with good ball in hand

Only 3 of them actually play FB oh dear.



If Briscoe can pull on an international jersey while being so limited in attack Tansey has evey chance.
