Hull KR the pride of East Hull.:



PNG

Mainly because as a city & clubs we have close links with the country.
And Stanley Gene & Makali Aizue who were great players for the club.

Otherwise the only other tems I'll be following are the ones with Rovers players in to see how they do.

Quote: Grimmy "Interesting article, I'm glad things are progressing there far more than I had assumed. My concern is the likes of Eddie Pettybourne, who has played for Australia Schoolboys, New Zealand (in the squad but didn't play) and Samoa before moving on to the USA, will be running out instead of someone who considers themselves American. Maybe he considers himself a proud American, but I seriously doubt it, and think they are just a vehicle for him to play in the world cup.'"


Agreed mate, the worst example I always think of is Tonie Carroll. Not a fan switching (think international payments don't help this) or of residency rule myself but all for heritage players 2nd/3rd gen.

Looking at things like this the selection process for State of Origin, it really does put a spanner in the works for international RL and needs to be addressed more than it has been, you'll then get stronger national sides (Pacific nations especially), but weaker Aus/NZ short term and but would increase the market and exposure game.

International RL is key to the growth of the sport and needs nurturing more than anything else IMHO.

I have found that having a second team keeps your interest in the tournament high, especially if your first team is not doing as well as you would have liked.

The thing about this WC is that most sides saw how well Fiji went last WC by taking it seriously and teams like Samoa, Tonga, Italy, PNG and Lebanon have put in much stronger sides and have taken the buildup very seriously this time.
Last WC the Samoan and Tongan sides came together a week before kickoff and were still introducing themselves to each other before the game.
This time, they have not only been playing regular games against each other and other sides since the last WC, but have done some serious training camps and talent identification.
PNG have also taken great strides forward with about double the number of players now playing overseas and a home grown professional side.
Fiji have continued to develop and now have many more players to choose from.
Lebanon used the same model Fiji used for last WC and have been identifying talent and having training camps for years.
Usa have taken a different path. They have favoured home grown talent this time, and since they have automatic selection into the next 2 WCs, they can take a longterm view and get flogged a few times this time around.
