End of year international teams

I'm a bit gobsmacked that they left Tomkins out of the squad with Hardaker banned (from what i can tell that's their best 2 fullbacks). Going from the squad; something like this:

1. Jonny Lomax
2. Jermaine McGilvary
3. Mark Percival
4. Kallum Watkins
5. Ryan Hall
6. Gareth Widdop
7. Luke Gale
8. Sam Burgess
9. Josh Hodgson
10. James Graham
11. Elliott Whitehead
12. Bateman/McMeekan/Currie
13. Sean O'Loughlin

14. James Roby/George Williams
15. Alex Walmsley
16. Tom Burgess
17. Bateman/McMeekan/Currie

One interesting part of their squad is they've got two near genuine five-eighths in reserve and sweet fuck all back up for the back 3. Might indicate Widdop being planned as the fullback with Williams, Hodgson or Brown at five-eighth.

 

They also have heaps of props in the squad so I reckon there might be a chance they use Burgess as Whitehead's second row partner on an edge.
