Well I'll happily listen to people's opposing views but that's just Effin stupid!

Forget about the player, its the shirt on that players back with the england badge on it that matters.

Born in England
At least one parent born in England
The end

If someone lives here and they're good enough they'll get picked for their country of birth if not hard lines.

Changing national alegiance because it's convenient is ridiculous.

Why? The poster said that the penalisation of a minority was acceptable. I've simply pointed out instances where this has been the case in the past.

Is that really how you see it?!

If I need to explain you'll never understand so I won't waste the time.

Go on...the poster said that the penalisation of a minority was acceptable. I've simply pointed out instances where this has been the case in the past.

IWTID is a dour misanthrope, but I don't recall him advocating that anyone should be gassed.

No, but he's applying the same principles of unfairly punishing the minority for no reason.
Perhaps, with Wakefield being a minority in SL, we should charge them more than other away fans for getting into Wheldon Road?

Listening to a number of fans sat around me at the game last night, the majority of the England team aren't international class.

Funnily enough the Loiner fans seemed to think the team should have more Leeds players in and I bet you could say the same for Saints, Wigan and Warrington fans...

You've lost the plot, go and have a cup of tea, regathering yourself, get a sense of perspective and come back talking sense.

Fa'asavalu played for GB, i believe he scored a try in the red/white and blue....i believe i cheered.

Yep thats how i see it.

Oh dear - I feel a bit worried for you now. Is there someone there you can talk to?

I'm still waiting for you to explain why my comments were so silly...
Agin, the poster said it was acceptable to penalise a minority. I pointed out instances of when this had happened. What's the problem?

Where as the current rules are punishing the English players who could be playing in his place. You can twist this as much as you want, but the only reason you're supporting Chase playing for England is because he's a Castleford player. Let's say Vince Mellars decides to make himself available for England and as a result keeps out Joe Arundel for arguements sake, I don't believe for a minute that any of you will be coming on here saying "Well done Vince". Rangi Chase is a mercenary. If he has to no loyalty to his country, I can't see him having much for Castleford.
