No Bridge, Burrow, O'Loughlin, Burgess through injury, Joel Tomkins omitted too after being asked to not be considered.

Bailey to room with Wilkin

No Danny Brough?? How can Hull have more players in the squad than the Giants??

No Brough? Interesting, he's one of a few "organising 7s" we have, unless he plays Sinfield at 13 to organise? One thing this team has is options.

Danny McGuire?

Ryan Bailey. Oh dear.

For me, on form, McGuire nor Brough deserve a call up over Sinfield, Lomax, Chase or Widdop.

With no Burrow, I am very surprised that Luke Robinson has been overlooked... looks like McIlorum is the reserve/interchange hooker

From that squad, I would go with

Tomkins
Hall
Reed
Yeaman
Briscoe
Widdop
Chase
Peacock
Roby
Graham
Ellis
Westwood
Sinfield


Carvell
Morley
Heighington
McIlorum

Lomax went missing in the GF. How will he fair against Aus at Wembley? Brough is a big game player with the best kicking game we have in this country.

Squad picks itself imo.

Tomkins
Briscoe Yeaman Reed Hall
Chase Lomax
Graham Roby Carvell
Westwood Ellis
Sinfield

McIlorum, Morley, JJB, Peacock

edit: Actually, can't decide between JJB and Heighington..

A lack of centres looks like the theme for this years tournament. Sinfield coming off the bench seems like a good bet, though could Lomax play a bench utility role?

Really surprised no Brough (kicking game) or Burrow (game changer from the bench)

Bailey just brings niggle and Sinfield has never turned up at international level IMO
