Def a good thing. We've enough injures without losing say McMeeken for the test. Plus the game and travel will take it's toll for the week after too.

I saw the side and noticed the 3 Wigan have in. Bet that’s great for them as they seemed to have a fair few youngsters in v Wakefield.
It also made me wonder how much McShanes injury this weekend cost himself a place?

Long live the Tigers!!!

We've been lucky really fitting the two cancelled fixtures in as well as we have done.

Bateman been playing well even in their last two poor team performances. O'Loughlin is a key player for them also so should definitely work in our favour :dance:

In a way I'm glad none have been selected but I also feel a bit frustrated because it does feel players from the big guns have been selected. I'm dubious over how much that old fart in charge watches the game. Milner and McShane unlucky. (McShane may also be injured).

Also I'm sorry but shenton is a far better centre than bateman.


That said. Great chance for Cas now to gather some momentum and maybe a few get in the eye come end of season.

really happy we haven't anyone going-its not like its a world cup and with the injuries we have had it is a blessing.

Madness, would've expected to see Charnley in after his performances for Warrington

As much as i like to see Cas players represent England, it's probabably a blessing for us this time around that non aren't. I would of thought McShane would of been in Bennett's plans had he been fit and Milner must of been discussed.

Can't believe Daz Clark and Danny Richardson aren't going. George Williams is the most over hyped player about. Although fantastic for us that 3 Wigan players are going over who will play. Does anyone know when they get back from Denver?

Don’t we have the Wigan game the same weekend as the Denver test? If so who cares with our injuries and there players playing rep rugby it evens things out a bit ?
Plus this clown Bennett clearly has no idea or interest in England and is choosing people he’s heard of

Can't understand why we are still picking blokes who are well into their 30s when they will not be around come the next world cup, surely it is now time to blood some of the younger guys.

Wouldn't be surprised if any of them Wigan players pick up a knock so can't travel but turn up against us.
