England pivot Gareth Widdop has welcomed moves by new coach Wayne Bennett to usher in controversial new selections.
Bennett has spoken to Josh and Brett Morris as well as Trent Hodkinson, all of whom qualify to play for England under current eligibility rules.
The Morris brothers have both represented Australian and Hodkinson has played for NSW.

"It is great to see Zak out here," Widdop said.
"He has been tremendous over there in England. He has won all the awards, he is a good player and he wanted to come out and test himself and now has the perfect opportunity to do that.
"It is good to see another Englishman out here."
