It's hard to choose what nationallity he is. He has only ever known australia, but his heritage is English. I think a decision like his should take time and he will want to make sure he makes the correct one.
Aside from that he is a class above the centres we have plying there trade in SL. Even if he has only played 20 odd games. If we could have him and Watkins in at centres we would have two international quality centres for years to come.

This was against the NRL Minor Premiers. To say that he shouldn't be in contention for the centre spot is ridiculous.'"
that try owes itself to bad ridiculously bad defending,from the minor premiers no less, that awesome play,as i've stated before that melbourne winger actually runs away from reed as he nears the tryline 
and one of kirk yeamans...at least here he actually hands people off

Yeah those two clips, and defences, were quite comparable.  You are making yourself look a little foolish here. Reed is declared for England he is amongst the top 4-5 centres available for selection. He will train with the squad and maybe get a game against the French.
You don't agree with the selection - that is fine. But to infer he isn't in the top 4-5 English qualified centres on current form is laughable.

oh right....so yeamans try is a "freakish solo effort" too then? if the defences are comparable? it most be freakish...no?

Who is saying that? Not me. I have watched all the NRL games on Premier Sports and Reed has been very strong. Have you been watching the NRL this year?
Along with Yeaman, Atkins, Bridge and Tomkins he is in the top 5 centres we have available. He should be in the squad on form along with those others. There is nothing else too it. If he gets found out in the French game fine - his place should be under threat. We are talking about a National side who has had Leroy Cudjoe and Tony Clubb in the centres within the last 12 months!
