Like Brian Carney


So what you are saying is if there were 5 "GENUINE" celts you would go back to GB like J Davies, Scott Gibbs etc

How far sighted off you.

You have just criticised Australia for picking and choosing which polynesians they will play and when they are needed then are suggesting the same thing for ENGERLUND

like carney???? i'm on about now !!!! not 6 years ago...

and yes for GB to be viable it has to contain genuine welsh and scots players.....how narrow minded of ypou not to think so!!!!!!!


GB has to operate like the british lions in union to sustain itself...

only a fool would think otherwise...


17 englishmen playing australia or NZ might aswell play as ENGLAND cos it sure has hell does'nt represent Great Britian!!!


and i critized australians reaction to us picking celts......cos they do the same with islanders.....learn to read!


DO YOU UNDERSTAND!!!!!

The problem is that we are talking about diofferent things.

I am talking about the development of INTERNATIONAL RL and the game as a whole. Losing every talented Welshman to England does nothing for developing the international game. It certainly does nothing for Wales.

You are talking about some sort of national eligibility criteria which is probably more about your personal prejudices than developing RL.

maybe you think we should cancel the WC because only 3 countries are truly eligible or maybe we should tell all the other nations that they have to play nationally home based amateurs so that they are "pure " enough to fit your criteria.

maybe your avatar tells me all i need to know.

You should have a look in the mirror bigot. You lot started all this when you decided Polynesian players shouldn't be allowed to play for Australia and you ed and moaned about it constantly. Now Ingerlund is ripping the guts out of Celtic nations, including born and bred Welsh players, and the hypocracy is astounding. But you never ever ever ever acknowledge the fact that you were dead dead wrong to have a go at Australians of Polynesian (and Melanesian) descent playing for Australia. Seems like the only difference is that our players are non-white. Is that what allows your hypocracy to pervade? You lot can do it because they're whiteys? Keep waving your St George cross. We know the kind of folk who like to do that.

A Championship select England team should play the French,Welsh,Scots and Irish in the euro cup

Not a bad idea.....but what about the Knights?
How about an off season tour down under to play the development sides in NZ/Aus and a full test against PNG? That would be good for these 'fringe" players...

Yes it would

A lot better than having Englands 2 nd string battering everybody except the French , and putting a big score on them

You will not get the home nations fans,players,coaches or media interested in a competition they are never going to be successful in or even competitive

The home nations squads consist primarily of Championship players , put other Championship players up against them , France have a nucleus of Lower SL quality players with Championship 1 players as back up

there you go every one....an idiot on display!


you're a clown pal and that post barely warrants a reply cos everyone can see you for what you really are..

maybe the native Australians are sending all the convicts back home.

Thats a much better idea, it would be alot more competitive if they were to do that.

Yes, let's keep the bar low and the standard mediorce...

I have no doubt the English championship players would probably beat their counterparts , when they start losing then you change it back again , it is pressurised competitive games you need , not blow outs with exhausted Championship player tackling them selves out gainst full time SL ' seconds '

As Gutterfax has suggested the ' Seconds get sent down under to play the better quality antip ' seconds ' like the Moari's,Abbo's and PNG

Its called , not trying to run before you can walk

Fair enough.

Probably your best idea i've seen and one I agree completely with. It would allow you Championship lot something to shout for internationally too, as most of you seem disillusioned with the 'Super Duper League' International side. Hoenstly though, I dont think they'd beat France

Only one way to find out ?
