They would have done better with the SA bron players who qualified their nation for the World Cup and won the recent deries against Canada 3 to 1.
The heritage players thety have selected are mostly non NRL level Aussies. A really stupid squad. |

You think a team made up of amateur RL players from the USA domestic comps that play for about 2 months of the year would be better? I don't. But yes it's still really bad. |

Good point, surely with a name like that he must have an Irish grandparent or something!! Anyone know how far back you can go to claim a place through ancestry? Is Great Grandparent too far??  |

They've actually chosen low grade OZ based players and American RU players over true USARL and AMNRL players who have played for the USA in the past. Joke of a squad. |

[quote="King Street Cat":1wa9s43t]Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.[/quote:1wa9s43t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6731.jpg |

Quote: Bull Mania "Maybe but I'm looking forward to seein them as thy have 10 born and bred USA players in their squad.'" You shouldn't be. The squad is an insult to everyone involved with RL in the USA and the latest in a long line of disastrous cock-ups by the AMNRL. See this video from the owner of Jacksonville Axemen: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151974655508982 |

Didn't know that. If that's the case then it's a travesty. Surely there are rules that you actually have to be an RL player lol |

Don't know why people make comments like this. Stuff like "qualifying for Wales, granny must have had a caravan in Prestatyn etc...." . This guy obviously qualifies to play for Ireland, otherwise he wouldn't be in the squad. I think it's quite insulting to take the pi55 out of someone's heritage and pride in taking part in a World Cup. |

Everyone said that last time and they got within 80 mins of a gama against Aus in the semi. |
