2022 | RL World Cup : Sat Sep 17, 2022 4:17 pm  

Who do we think will be picked for Eng?

I suspect Hardaker, Handley, Oledzki, Bentley, Smith and Leeming will be in contention.

Who is eligible for the other nations?

I noticed Tetevano for Cook Islands and Fusitua for Tonga. Then there is Martin for PNG and Gannon for Aus

Think Oledski only cert…….

Isn’t Bentley Irish qualified and playing for them? Oledzki and magbe Leeming for England, don’t think anybody else gets in.

Bentley can play for either England or Ireland. You can’t represent 2 different Nations in a World Cup year, but as I don’t believe he’s played for either this year, he qualifies for both until he represents one Nation or the other.

Oledkzi is a certain starter for England.
Myler, Handley, Bentley, Smith and Leeming all have a chance of making the squad.

I think England Knights have a game or 2?
Handley, Smith, Bentley, O’Connor, Gannon, Walters for England Knights (delete any that make the full squad)

Gannon and Handley will not play again this season

Are any Leeds players eligible for Wales, Scotland or Ireland?

Not sure of the exact ancestry but Tez played for Ireland so it's possible that Jarrod could be eligible?

Bateman could be missing most of WC.
Opens door for Bentley?

Liam Tindall is our only player in the England Knights squad.
Personally I can’t see the reason for over looking Smith, Bentley or O’Connor unless they’re in a full International World Cup squad (you could add Gannon to that too but perhaps he’s not been selected due to concussion/injury)

Bateman is in both England squads so he can serve his ban quicker, is that a first? Who knows what criteria the rest of the squads will be picked on.
