I was at Scott Taylor's testimonial event recently when Sam Burgess was a guest. Someone asked the panel why Houghton never had any international recognition and Burgess said sometimes it's just down the coaches personal preference. Some players get picked regardless of form, the coach just prefers them or they suit the coach's style of play,
Tommy Martyn and Lee Briers as a couple of examples had very modest international recognition despite both having great club careers.

Martyn and Briers were good but likes of Sculthorpe at 6 were better options
Sculthorpe was world class
Martyn and Briers very good but not world class
Whilst I agree with your point that Sculthorpe was a world class player the rest of your post is questionable.
Sculthorpe was one of the best LF to have played the game and whilst he could play stand off to say he was better than the likes of Martyn & Briers in that position is questionable.
