Rugby League - Gareth Hock's selection
Discussion
For those of us who follow the great game, what are your thoughts on the latest England squad? Do you agree with the selection, in particular the inclusion of Hock?
Personally I disagree with his selection not because of the failed drugs test, he has served his time, but because of his attitude and disciplinary record COMBINED. He is a good player but I hate the way he plays the game.
As a Rhinos fan some might say that my view of the squad may be biased. I would say that Ablett and Burrow get in for their versatility, Peacock is the skipper, JJB is one of the most complete forwards in the game (who Leeds have missed this year when he was injured). Sinfield is a great goal kicker but I don't think he is an international class stand off or loose forward. Ryan Hall is one of the best wingers in the game
So for my part I think four of the six Rhinos should be there but personally would not have picked Sinfield or Ablett.
What do others think?

no teasy to justify too many rhinos in the selection at pres.
sinfield for his experience and at 13 he can provide a great distribution option but we have struggled at half backs for years at international level.
ablett is a bit of a cart horse and there are better players out there.
Ryan Hall is becoming a world class finisher
O/T on the subject of Leeds i wasn;t convinced by BMs post match with eddie last week - looked a bit broken, spoke well but has body language gave him away imho...
it would need to be the mother of all comebacks to get up there now from here and defend that title...
