The ideal backline for me would be as follows.
1. Tomkins
2. Briscoe
3. Shenton
4. Atkins
5. Widdop
6. Maguire
7. Eastmons
Pace, Youth, good defnce and skill in that backline imo.

Although in a year or two i'd hope that Widdop fulfils his supposed potential and takes over from Mcguire at 6. |

| Quote Code13="Code13"Griffin has been immense this season and deserves a call up.'"
I agree, i rate Griffin, he's a very good prop forward and deserves his call up. Also, i'd have picked Mason instead of Crabtree, and thats just from Huddersfield. Crabtree is over-rated. |

Crabtree did well in the 4 Nations last year so as the incumbent he deserves to keep his spot
For a (very) big man, he has a good workrate in defence and his size can trouble the Aussies and Kiwi's - while he doesn't always run his full weight, he can get a good off load away
I would be happy with him as an impact forward in the 4 Nations |

I hope Brown proves his doubters wrong. Ask any Giants fan (the ones who actually see him week in week out) and they have a lot of good things to say. Just because he's not everyone's first choice doesn't mean he can't do a good job.
Assuming the squad as a whole doesn't go belly up in terms of performance, I reckon he'll do alright. |

Of course he does than he can blame Sooperdooperleague for all the problems and bring it all down to the fact that keighley were shafted and if that had not happened England would be world beaters. |

Atkins has all the physical attributes required for the international game but his ball play is not up to the same standard – too many passes find the touchline for me. Having said that, if I had to choose between a centre with skill without the athletic ability or Atkins, I would go for Atkins... international Rugby League is a very physical environment
I think he will go OK and if Brown, Tomkins and Widdop can provide him some attacking ball he will be dangerous |
