The use of players like this is short term gain and an insult to young players in Rugby League!

I also heard Hemmings on Sky Commentary banging on the door for Pat Richards to play for England because he has been over here 5 years! |

Well, why not? If we are going to let Manu in, why couldn't Richards do it? In fact, I could understand a player like that as we do not have an English winger as talented as him, unlike second row which is probably our strongest position.
McNamara has opened up a can of worms now, he has to make a choice as it could get ridiculous considering the foreign talent available in Super League.
However, I think Richards considers himself Australian Irish and I doubt that he would want to spit in the face of his parents, so I can't see it happening. |

Nobody wants FORIEGN players playing for England wheather there Tongan, Soamon, Australian or Kiwi. I am a proud Englishman and I want to see 17 Englishman turnout for England in the Tri Nations. The way things are going young kids who are trying to make there way into the game are going to pack it in because they will be demoralised by seeing overseas players making the England Team. We have 40 English players playing Super League good enough to play without resorting to picking overseas players. Its a bloody insult to every player who doesnt get picked and further more its an insult to our country. |

Yeah, Richards has said he would never play for GB, so you have to assume that applies to England as well.
As you say though, you could understand it if it was a position we were struggling in, however is in at the expense of Joel Tomkins who has (arguably) been the best second rower in the competition this year. Joke. |
