Tom Burgess - thanks to Rogues for spotting my mistake ( I had put Luke for some reason!!!)

Rob Burrow

Josh Charnley

Rangi Chase

Zak Hardaker

Chris Hill

Gareth Hock

Michael McIlorum

Liam Mossop

Sean O'Loughlin

James Roby

Kevin Sinfield (captain)

Sam Tomkins

Kallum Watkins

Ben Westwood

Gareth Widdop

Gareth Hock should be nowhere near the team, too much of a liability. otherwise it looks like I thought it would!

no matty smith, im shocked

I just dont get the Rangi Chase thing

Interesting to see only 4 of the Dream team in the squad!!

No Lunt yet Micky McIlldiscipline is there?

Makes you wonder how the hell we managed to finish 2nd after 27 rounds and make it to the GF when we don't have anyone good enough for the Dream Team and only two players considered good enough for the England squad!



Stefan Ratchford in particular can count himself very unlucky not to make the squad, but looking on the bright side, we should have a reasonabley healthy and rested squad for the start of 2014 pre-season.

I think McIlorum has shown he's far more prepared for test football during the playoffs than people like Lunt, Houghton and Higham. He's been awesome for us leading the defence and hurting the opposition. I think he could be good starting for England with Roby coming on for impact but I'm not sure it'll happen.



Also he's not been sent off once this year and has given away 13 fewer penalties than Ben Westwood.

Dr Khoukash will be tracking down all these guys' telephone numbers as we speak

After seeing his name in the squad, I was wondering if anyone on here knows how James Graham has been faring down under with the Bulldogs?

Best forward in the team, by a country mile, Doggies fans love him.

Cheers Yed, TBH I had forgotten all about him until I saw his name on the squad list.
