That bum mathers would do a better job than chris 'thug' bridge



What a joke!



EDIT- Shenton and atkins are 100x player he is

It's bull!!



The likes of Dale Ferguson and Joe Westermann should be picked instead of Bridge. I quite like Harrison.

Had Atkins not pulled out because of injury 'the thug'

Bridge wouldn't of got in the 'train-on' squad, not the 'official' squad, the 'train-on' squad.

Taking away the facts of these lads swapping and changing countries are they actually good enough to be making an England squad?



I believe Harrison is getting to that point as he keeps improving but Bridge

I'd say he's a way off and we really must be struggling if he can get a place in the squad.



The inclusion of Bridge has again got me worried about Tony Smiths selection abilities as an international coach. The guy took 4 props and 9 backrowers to a World cup and packed his side with players from 2 clubs. He now looks like he'll pack the side with players from 3 clubs regardless of abilities because he knows these guys on a more personal level(well 2 sets anyway).



Brough left out yet Bridge included is crazy stuff imo. We need a halfback with a clever kicking game not an average centre with behavour problems.

He's Scottish! TS is picking the England team

He's as English as Roast Beef and John Smiths bitter and has put his hand up to play for England just like Chris Bridge has yet hasn't been picked which i just can't understand. Lets look at our halfback options-



McGuire

Pryce

Tomkins

Myler

Burrow

Eastmond



What have they got in common? To me it's the fact that their strengh is in the running side of the game. They're individual talents that cause problems with ball in hand.



We need a halfback to partner one of these that can probe defences with clever passing and kicking and in Brough we have that man imo. The added bonus is Brough would actually give us a goalkicker.



As for Bridge he's not a bad player and again can kick goals but an England international? Not imo.

Chris Bridge has the potential to be the best british centre IMO.

Oh my God please tell me you are joking!! Atkins and Shenton are streets ahead let alone anyone coming through the ranks at any of the Super League clubs.



I'd put Yeamen in front of him as well, Chev Walker.......I could go on and on.

Nope, no joke.



If Bridge can stay fit, he can be the best British centre in SL - he's a very very talented player, far more so than Yeaman/Atkins/Walker. It's a big if though.

Dobson will be available/eligible to play for England before the next world cup due to him living in the country for x amount of years won’t he?



Regardless of if people think it’s correct or not Dobbo is a quality player who offers what you mentioned above and would be an asset to the team.



I personally don’t mind players such as Peterson in Cricket, Hargreaves in Football or Catt in RU if they play with passion and commitment for the England team they are in.



If he fancies it then IMO he has to be considered…….

Would you be happy if saints bought him? If he is National level then you should be, but he would be (IMO) the weakest link in the current Saints side.



I would be beside my self with anger if Wigan did.

Very happy, as I would be if we signed Ben Harrison.
