TOMKINS IS BACK IN FOLD
SAM TOMKINS is back in the England set-up for the first time since the 2014 Four Nations.
The Wigan full-back has earned a recall to Wayne Bennett’s elite performance squad alongside Warrington prop Mike Cooper.
Castleford loose forward Adam Milner is the only new face in the expanded 25-man squad for the second half of the year.
But there is no place for Warrington winger Josh Charnley, who has also been overlooked for the England Knights squad.
Coach Bennett said: “The door will remain open for the remainder of the season as we head towards the International Test Series against New Zealand later this year.”
Ten players have been added to the England Knights training squad ahead of a tour of Papua New Guinea later this year – Oliver Holmes, Joe Greenwood, Matty Lees, Harvey Livett, Brad Fash, Robbie Mulhern, Ash Handley, Mikolaj Oledzki, Max Jowitt and James Batchelor.
