Apart from Herbie, are there any other England players Aus need to worry about?

The utlimate threat is Herbie inside of Dom Young. That could destroy just about anyone. The issue is they'll never get the bloody ball. The pack is smaller than normal apart from the second row, this could be a result of learning lessons last year and a ploy to address playing in heat and the faster ruck speed. However there is very little punch forwards.

One to watch and this guy will likely be on the radar of many an NRL scout is Junior Nsemba from Wigan. 1.95m 105kg only 22. very much in the mould of Dom young. and Kai Pearce Paul, KPP would be sharing the second row with him which is a thought.

He'll be their starting lock. He loses his Politis privilege playing for England so suspended after game 1.

That's a pretty decent core. Considering they have George Williams. Who is their hooker and halfback? Are they any good?
 
Mikey lewis in the middle but he is having a shocking season, awful form and bad discipline. Shocked he got picked to be honest. Jez Litten will be starting 9. Quality player

This year our local team has adopted a wheelchair side, the wife and i have gone to alot of games to watch and its actually really good to watch. In Bold 4 players and 1 coach all from our team. Lee Sargent is only a young guy about 21 and looks like he weighs less than the ball but makes alot of big breaks due to rapid acceleration. Also in the Wales team is the uncapped John Berriman who plays for York. Sadly he got HIA'd in his game against us but i had a chat after and hes a really pleasant guy rapid fast and good playmaker.

Surely they should have Wales, Scotland and England playing as one team.
