DID SHAUN HELP LEEDS BEAT HULL KR?
TALKING RUGBY LEAGUE
WithMARTYN SADLEREditor
SHAUN WANE had to be pushed by the RFL to name his 32-man squad that will prepare during the summer to face Australia in the Ashes series this autumn.
Sam Tomkins, who is the team manager of England, made that clear on Sky Sports on Friday night.
Shaun had to be persuaded to release the squad to the media and therefore the public in order to generate some debate about who should actually play for England against the Aussies.
So I’m not sure how seriously we should take the 32 names that were revealed last week.
Some of those players will be dropped from the squad long before Shaun names his 24-man squad that will actually contest the Ashes.
