WAITING LIST:
1. HERSH

think the only irish player to be included in EPS will be corbisiero
armitage, garvey, jj, paice, ojo in saxons

you heard it here first.

Gibson would be in the mix too, I'd imagine.

I thought that Palmer called the lineouts fine.

I thought he was just a victim of one of Johnson's bottler calls. Like Hartley and Flood were.

Pooly - if my players are in Saxons, do they also miss games for me?

If Delon is in the Saxon I suspect he'll be of to France come the summer.

probably pete

hope not as he was quality against sale

He played well against Exeter too. I don't feel he is in that bad form - just he's been a bit clumsy at the wrong times and everyone is jumping on the bandwagon.

I loved Armitage when he first came onto the scene for England he was a breath of fresh air. But he became victim to my Foden bias when he started ripping it up for Saints.

Delon has been unlucky with citings, but whatever went on with the drugs test assault thing was out of order.

That a fact mate? Thought announcement was 1pm? Would be amazing news for me if Attwood isn't in the EPS, but didn't think Mears would be there!

Real test of strength in depth for Saints and Sarries

That's from the Daily Mail online...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/article-2084879/Six-Nations-2012-England-squad-revealed.html

Is that official?

Saxons players - you won't lose
Players released from Int duty - you can play

Who is Phil Howson? Didn't see that coming!

Ahhh, Deacon needs a replacement, guess that could be Attwood

Driver you scoundrel

Took from the dm but they leaked it

That one official then I take it.

Yes mate

Same old problem for England as far as I can see to be honest. If you look at the two squads there is very little difference in terms of quality. What is needed is for players to stand up and take their chance and for the coaches to quickly identify who is going to make it long term and then make the tough decision of cutting those who won't.

Attwood, Goode, Parling and Trinder step up for the 6 Nations to replace the injured Lawes, Flood, Deacon and Tuilagi.

Parling and Goode, interesting.

I genuinely don't know what to make of the selection to be honest. There are some good and some not so good bits. I reckon you could make a passable starting England XV from both of the squads.

Considering resigning as we stand gents. Struggling for time and not getting any enjoyment from it at the moment.

it's early days steve, sure it will be more enjoyable once the seaosn actually begins. Stick with it mate.

I'm not sure what you want from the league to enjoy Steve, it's just the AP game but reset.

Can I have a positive yes/no as I can look at getting another manager in before the season starts?

If you're going to stay and I hope you do will you commit to the season?

I wasn't sure at first, but im starting to get excited now!

I'm out then I'm afraid. My apologies.

No probs, if you're not up for it theres no point carrying on.

SALE NEED A MANAGER.....

Pooly - Just a thought, reckon one of the regular contributors on the rugby union section might fancy it? beshocked? hersh? munkian?

I've stuck an advert on the main page....

Not sure thats the road I want to go down, look what happened with you!

Pooly - Yeah, but you never know, you might get another Rowley! Happy Days!

who was that clown you lot used to have on the euro league?

Blogs...

Logan...

Bathite

Pooly is full of the jokes tonight, had your Horlicks a bit early tonight?

I'm back doing troop phys so I've got a bit more energy

blogs...what happened to him?

I kow I miss Blogs, let's brig him back!!

Alright lads, did the other game finish then or is it still going? I seem to remember Sarries, Glaws, Newcastle and Quins were pretty strong in that game, and Pooly gave you nothing when it came to deals!!

I'm interested in the Sale job if possible as i've got a bit of time on my hands. I've had a quick read through the rules and i don't think anything too much has changed.

On another note, Ojo in neither squad!!! He must be gutted. Atleast we'll have him for the 6 nations period. 6 nation period will also allow Lahiff to develop which is another positive for us.

Hi ollie the other game is still going this is just another game.

Ah fair enough the other game has done well then!!
Is it Pooly who'll reply to me in regards to the Sale job?

I am also interested, I required about the ERL Season 4 game but you blew me out of the water so I backed away.

But now I see a vacancy in this and I am more than interested, but Londonirishollie got here first so he has first digs if he wants in, so I don't mind
