How many of the welsh team were born in wales?
Also how many bona fide welsh fans will there be at the games......10?
What is the point in having a seperate wales team, it's embarassing. Also, how the hell does iestyn harris fish out all these random players from the nrl or super league whos grandads brtohers dog did a turd in wales. Does he go through family treees, studying back generations.

France won't be that competitive with 14 full tiem players to choose from. If the RFL are serous about developing France then they need to introduce a second French team, or make it compulsory for every SL club to have at least 1 French player. Increasing France's full-time player pool by 13 would certainly give them a little more depth and increase they strength.

| Quote: Cardiff Cymru "Iestyn Harris will be talking about his Wales squad and the upcoming Four Nations live on Real Radio tonight from 6pm. Call him on 0845 1052106 to ask a question or go to
This was a great bit of PR for the 4N as most of the phone-in contributors still wanted to talk about the 'red card'. When he got the chance Iestyn made some good points of how it would have been handled in our game. The RL guys who phoned in to speak to him enthusiastically bigged up the development of the game in Wales and about attending the 4N.
With Iestyn (and Gareth Thomas?) now being at Wigan the player pathway into Super League for Welsh juniors that he talks about must be through Wigan. This can only be good for the development of the game at a national level in Wales - that is until there's a Welsh club team back playing at a higher level to bring through these homegrown players.
So many positives for the game in Wales.
Shame though Iestyn hasn't selected big David Mills for his 24-man squad. A man of his size and ability and having had a tremendous season with Leigh he would be a great asset in the 4N. Still, great to see Jordan James, Gil Dudson, Ben Flower and Andy Bracek in the squad.
Maybe wishing David Mills 'Good Luck with Wales' at the LSV the other week put the mockers on it for him.

But then again, the Australian team in 2000 was vastly better than the squad just announced |

The 1995 team being vastly superior to both of them. RL has gone backwards since the invention of SL. |

A Welsh Rugby League side made up of players that came to our game for the money on offer is not representative of the strength of our sport
I would rather have the 2011 squad that contains genuine Welsh Rugby League players any day of the week than the 1995 squad... and that would be the same whether the Union game had gone professional or not
And as it happens, the end of the Welsh Union players coming to our game had nothing to do with the Super League, rather the professionalism of the other code where they could make their money openly. I have absolutely no idea why you would lay the blame on this on Super League |
