| Quote: The Changing Man "I didn't drift this thread and nor did I make it about the RWC. It's a sad reflection on the standard of posters here that debate is dead and accusations are the new currency. You claimed I'd ruined the thread, the Printer and loiner claimed I'd made it about the RWC 2015 and that's all people want to hear......because they can't handle certain facts. ....here's a recap for you.
PAGE 1
PAGE 2
I HAD YET TO POST IN THIS THREAD AND ALREADY PEOPLE ARE COMPARING BOTH GAMES ON AND OFF THE PARK....
PAGE 3
SO HALF WAY THROUGH PAGE 3, WITH PLENTY OF COMPARING GOING ON AND I ADDRES THE ORIGINAL POSTERS CLAIMS
AND THEN IT BEGINS
ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH TO ACCEPT YOU WERE WRONG?'"
What are you going on about? I wasn't wrong because i know what i thought the OP was talking about and a few of us have actually tried to say that the OP has actually got it wrong as to say that our international game suffers because of who plays for whom and where they're really from. There are far greater problems than that. A few of us have tried to ignore the inane ramblings about Union and tried to concentrate on our sport. My point about "why are so many posts about Union in this thread" were aimed at posters just using this as a RUWC comments thread. It wasn't about you, the only time i mentioned you was in telling Him to ignore you as you cannot tell the difference between "we cannot copy what Union do" and "we could learn from what they do" which are two different things and you tried to tell Him who made the point and i fully understood, that they are the same thing.
Jesus, talk about trying to pick an argument over nothing. And grow up will you; "man enough to admit you're wrong"; we're adults here trying to have grown up conversations. |

The International Game, as applicable to Rugby League, is now a joke. It has no relevance to the major teams (my club , my club, ad infinitum), and offers little or no help to develop , promote or foster the game.
RL HAD a lead but just didn't have the gonads or vision to take it to the next level.
If it want's to meaningful, regular COMPETITIVE international games again it will not be a short term solution but will take generations even if started now, which is unlikely under the current regimes.

| Quote: The Changing Man "1. So what. The claim was Toulouse were as good as the 2 relegated champ side and I simply pointed out their 3rd tier record in England.
2. They were in it...that's all I said.
3. That are on the map covers the region where the elite 1 clubs are based from Avignon to Villeneuve in the West.....it was elite 1 that I was tasked with...and toulouse are covered by that red zone...it's south east of Villeneuve.
4. 22 from 23 originally saved me the bother of a single dot on a map of france...I really didn't think anyone would attempt to bring elite 1 up!'"
1.They don't have a 3rd tier record in England. They have a 2nd tier one but as I said, put together on less than their elite side. Their elite side was better than their Championship side.
2.no you made a flawed argument highlighting their Championship performances as reflective of their elite quality.
3. So it doesn't cover Catalonia. Odd choice.
4. And that makes it a misleading overstatement. Which is pointless. There is no benefit to us overstating the problem and no use in us understating it. The game is strong in the north of englanf and south of France. Everywhere else it struggles and has no plan to overcome those struggles or a system where that can be done. |

| Quote: galliant "The 2 players who got it most in the press were Robshaw and Barritt who are part of the 'experienced Union', which blows your paranoid theory out of the water. I've seen most of the England team get a slagging in the press but you are saying because Farrell and Burgess have been included along with the rest of the team it must be because they have a RL connection

Rumour has it that he's struggling with a knee injury. Will probably still play in the playoffs but could see him become one of those that miss out through injury for the Eng/NZ series. |

He's struggling a smidge with the English language on this thread isn't he?
It's almost as if he just sees what he wants to and ignores what is actually posted. |
