Love Rugby League wants to know who you think is the most unfortunate player not to have a place in England’s World Cup squad. 

Wayne Bennett confirmed his 24-man England squad that he will take to the 2017 Rugby League World Cup this autumn.

The Three Lions squad is as follows: John Bateman (Wigan Warriors), Kevin Brown (Warrington Wolves), Sam Burgess (South Sydney Rabbitohs), Tom Burgess (South Sydney Rabbitohs), Ben Currie (Warrington Wolves), Luke Gale (Castleford Tigers), James Graham (St George Illawarra Dragons), Ryan Hall (Leeds Rhinos), Chris Heighington (Cronulla Sharks), Chris Hill (Warrington Wolves), Josh Hodgson (Canberra Raiders), Jonny Lomax (St Helens), Jermaine McGillvary (Huddersfield Giants), Mike McMeeken (Castleford Tigers), Sean O’Loughlin (Wigan Warriors), Mark Percival (St Helens), Stefan Ratchford (Warrington Wolves), James Roby (St Helens), Scott Taylor (Hull FC), Alex Walmsley (St Helens), Kallum Watkins (Leeds Rhinos), Elliott Whitehead (Canberra Raiders), Gareth Widdop (St George Illawarra Dragons), George Williams (Wigan Warriors).

And from the Elite Performance Squad, Brisbane Broncos boss Bennett had to tell 10 players that they didn’t make the cut for the England World Cup squad.

Joe Burgess, Daryl Clark, Mike Cooper, Greg Eden, Liam Farrell, Zak Hardaker, Tommy Makinson, Paul McShane, Michael Shenton and Stevie Ward were the Elite Performance Squad members to miss out while Sam Tomkins also wasn’t included in the squad.

And if you put them 11 players in a select XIII on paper, it would definitely be challenging for trophies.

There has been a lot of mixed opinions shared on social media this week about England’s squad selection but we want to know who you think is the most unfortunate player to not get a place on the Three Lions’ plane to the 2017 Rugby League World Cup this autumn.
