The first important thing is to be a team player,and not a selfish go for individual glory person.also open when sharing information with the team,and not being a secret hoarder.
all round ability,not just commercial or natural water angler,as carp and bream feed differently,and being the greatest distance caster does not equal the best angler.

any macavellion leader/selfish bod will do then he can pick himself above all others and also dictate policy, don’t like it? eh then walk lol

if anything the more I think about it the more it makes sense that way why bother with trials your face will either fit or it won’t simple the leaders way or the highway! bye peeps! 😮 😮 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

The more I read on the matter the more convinced I am that the whole operation appears to be Mickey mouse, it’s about time there was some sort of proper qualifying system for anglers who wish to fish for there country, trials need to be properly organised and run cream always rises to the top over a series of qualifiers you soon find out who your top anglers are when there fishing for there place on a results based system, however we have this old pals act, a system that sticks ! selection is done on whether the manager likes the cut off your jib ! no wonder Grant and Darren have walked

Not a ‘fishing’ manager thats for certain. Cannot be objective and retain respect!

my two penny’s worth is that Tommy Pickering wants to be the first World Champion to win individual gold for feeder and float and maybe is being selfish. I know the Captains used to take there fishing tackle with them in case the team came down with sickness but that was all they never fished in the worlds. only myy thoughts nothing personal meant against anyone
