Adrian Lam says Leigh's Josh Charnley should get England call as Wakefield woe continues

Leigh's Josh Charnley grabbed another two tries to wreck winless Wakefield and leave boss Adriam Lam wondering why he’s not picked for England.

Super League’s leading scorer grabbed a brace to take his season tally to 12. The ex-Wigan winger, 31, was too sharp as Leigh condemned Wakefield to a ninth successive loss and left them already fearing relegation. He has scored more points on his own this term than the entire Trinity team who stumbled to a FIFTH nilling in only nine games.

Yet Charnley - who’s not played for his country since 2014 - was again overlooked by England boss Shaun Wane when he named his 40-man squad last week. After a fourth win left his promoted side just two points off the play-off places, Lam said: "I think he should be in that squad. That’s all that needs to be said. I felt for him. He can’t be doing much more. It is what it is but people around him are really proud of him.
