Good. Wonder if they'll pick Sutton.
Weirdly Hodgo has done sweet FA in an England jersey, Roby looks the more likely every time I've seen them play international footy. Might be part of the reason Wane isn't automatically set on NRL stars being great internationals.

That squad looks bloody old. Not too many new faces there. Everyone gets a run!

I'm not confident this will even go ahead tbh
And as hard as it would be for them, I would prefer none of the boys go over to the uk

Re: Four Canberra Raiders named in 35 man England squad
Raiders players' game commitments will be done and they should be over the hangovers from winning the GF. Let them go and spend time with families and friends. It will do their mental health the world of good.
I just hope they're all injury-free before and after the series.
Some people talk about the weather. Others do something about it.

I would love them to spend time with their families, and agree about the mental health aspectyurithe1 wrote: ↑April 8, 2021, 11:31 amRaiders players' game commitments will be done and they should be over the hangovers from winning the GF.

I just worry about the impact of 2 weeks quarantine ( no way that will finish by then) and the risk of them getting covid in the uk.
My brother lives over there, 1 in every 5 people have had it, including him.
Not sure the risk is worth it sadly

Put it this way, the coach will want to win with that squad sooner rather than later.
Not top 4 material IMO.

Re: Four Canberra Raiders named in 35 man England squad
Sorry to see about your brother. However, I think they'll put up with two weeks quarantine for the chance to reunite.cat wrote: ↑April 8, 2021, 1:01 pmI would love them to spend time with their families, and agree about the mental health aspectyurithe1 wrote: ↑April 8, 2021, 11:31 amRaiders players' game commitments will be done and they should be over the hangovers from winning the GF.
