superleague.co.uk/article.php?id=21184 Rob Burrow, Ryan Hall, Ben Jones-Bishop, Danny McGuire, Jamie Peacock and Kevin Sinfield have all made the cut from the Leeds squad. Im assuming Danny and JP made it due to their early season form Kallum Watkins has made the Knights squad.

I'm feeling particularly negative so after much consideration this is my response....


Just what we need!! BJB, Hall, Sinfield & Burrow to be unavailable for selection. Fantastic. Great news.


When is there a match??

It must be the first time 'Elite' and 'Brett Ferres' have been this closely associated.

Not that it means much in the long run, but just shows how thick as poop McNamara is.

How anyone can see Prescott as better than Patrick and Burgess is poor.

Mid season against the Overseas All-Stars? I think that was confirmed. I havent been sleeping much recently and my IQ has dropped massively to about 142 so im not that sure.

One of the reasons Rugby League is ridiculed by the press is lack of promotion.
I wanted to plan end of season trips to watch the 4 nations games for me and the family, kids n all.
Guess what....no fixtures yet for any England game, with the 'Official 4 Nations' website offering tickets for last years tournament in Aus!
Only Rugby League

He has earned his place which is more than I can say for Callum Squatkins. Has he discovered imodium yet?

Ferres has never done anything positive out of the ordinary that I've ever noted.

Not sure what his inclusion in the 'Elite' squad has to do with Watkins selection for the reserve squad. Watkins' game still needs a ton of work but he's got something there to work with.

Have you conveniently forgotten Ferres' last-minute match-winning try for the Bulls at Headingley in April 2006 then ?

[iShontayne Hape and Lesley Vainikolo led the way as Bradford surged the length of the field. That set position for Stuart Fielden, Iestyn Harris and Paul Deacon to work the ball to =#FF0000Brett Ferres and the young second-rower – making his first senior start - plunged joyously over to seal the most dramatic of victories, 20-18[/i

It says something when his career highlight to date came on his full senior debut, the best part of five years ago.

The thing that gets on my nerves about this squad is the selection of likes of Danny Brough (Scotland) and the too pie eaters who have played for Ireland. Rugby league will continue to be the laughing stock of world sport until the rules are changed so that once you have represented one country, you can't play for another ever.

Does the omission of a certain Saints player confirm his departure from the world of Rugby League?
