You could equally same the same had Buderus had the game time given to Diskin.

Under todays rules that suddenly make Willie Manu English as well as Fasavalu (sp) i'm sure we could get him in an England shirt alongside Pat Richards who apparantly is Irish. If we are going to get foreigners to play for England at least make them good ones!!

Tony Caroll played for both NZ and Oz so anything is possible with RL's judgement of a players nationality.

That wouldn't surprise me except the player still has a say in which national team (if any) they wish to be considered for. I guess theirs is the final say once all other obstacles, grandparents, residency or whatever have been cleared.

IIRC Richards (for instance) has been sounded out by the England management and refused point blank to consider it. Going back a few years I recall Alan Tait doing the same after some soul searching.

Not so much needed in thje forwards, but I'd bet there are a few English-qualified backs in the NRL who wouldn't get near a rep side in Aus but would be at least as good as some of the English players.

The other thing that strikes me about the MOS/Dream Team and Leeds is that I would have thought the selections suggest a general belief that Leeds are a team where the whole is better than the sum of the parts, rather than a team full of stars.

Ah right i see... seems a bit daft. As both those lads should be in (Tomkins & Mcguire)
