I guess the weight catorgory thing is to avoid the "Give it to the big kid" strategy, which is not condusive to improving the skill side of the game.

As for the influx in polynesians - surely this is oppotunituy to boost the international scene of our game?
Even if England aren't particulary benifitting, surely if nations like Tonga, Samoa & Fiji can pick from this pool of players, then the Southern Hemisphere at least could have a very interesting international set up.

The international scene is the massive difference between the two codes, but in terms of club rugby, reports on here suggest the NRL is outstripping the super14s in Aus quite dramatically.
Proffessionalism in RU has meant their all-encompassing international scene is a lot less competetive than when the world cup started in 89 or whenever. If we managed to boost the international scene with more decent fixtures for the likes of Samoa, then these kids will be less enamoured with qulaifying for the Green and Gold.

Perhaps England should be inviting Samoa and Fiji over for Autumn internationals, it might help us get some decent international veiwing instead of us getting bummed by Austrailia every year.

and black people can't play tennis and white people can't sprint

Maybe you can explain why the Warriors are only mid table on penalties conceded?

Do the Warriors even have the most Polynesian players?

What about your statement that “other than play making roles and lock and hooker i can see future NRL teams being largely Polynesian” – this is implicitly stating that the Polynesian players cannot perform these roles, despite their ‘gifts’ (whatever that means)

its a pretty simple statement, once which was elaborated above

read it a few more times, maybe itll sink in then

i didnt know you 3 seasons ago lol

anyway im putting on ignore for now ....sorry but enough is enough

have a nice life

Sorry, can you clarify what you mean by "once which was elaborated above" as I have no idea what that means?

nope im not here to teach people comprehension skills, sorry

once ive repeated the same points a few times i just leave it at that

either someone just doesnt get it, or does but doesnt like the point

all the best in the future

OK, never mind then

All the best to you too

Should it bother the NRL or ARL?? We all know that the international game won't improve much because of this....why? Because as at present New Zealand and Australia will continue to pick the best of these players and grant them the appropriate nationality to play. The rest will just be left to join Tonga, Fiji and Samoa........the shape of the players may change, but the super powers won't.

More likely is that England will fall even further behind the southern hemisphere sides because of this...I mean look, we can't even live with the teams physically in the outside backs at present...imagine how it will be in the next few years!

What a ing knob.

It's an old story.....but I can understand why dally messenger, after being pretty much outed as a no-nothing on the NRL boards and after being warned about the number of "nothing" threads he starts with links to someone elses story has moved to the VT.....
Now here, he posts a story (with a link) but when it is pointed out that it was raised by someone else on the NRL board over 12 months ago and at the time he said it was rubbish..he spits his dummy out and puts someone else on ignore

dally messenger....alone, unloved by his mother and that desperate he has had to create multible log ins to have a discussion with himself

Still..he can console himself with the fact that he made sure we all knew where the bomb kick/up'n'under came from......Gridiron

Considering you joined here 4 seasons ago, you may want to rethink that. But I guess I'll just have to carry that cross you've given me.
