Fat blokes in the mud, flat caps, bogs that drain pi55 directly onto your boots - Now it's all 'Big Ask', 'Arm Wrestle', 'Collision' 'Contact' 'Facials' 'Upper Body Strength' 'Big Units' 'Scooting from Dummy Half' 'Energy Levels' 'Laying the Platform' ‘Middles’ and 'T-R-Y'.

All the commentators have done is put the game down. It's been a decent game IMO and although England have begun to run away with it, Wales deserve a lot of credit for the way they've played.
Comments like "He'll go down as the first Australian to score for England" aren't needed at all, especially by someone who is meant to be Pro-RL.

Why, is he not the first Australian to score for England?

I'm not sure, do you think the RU commentators undermined the International game when Hape played saying he's the first RL international to score for England? Or Cricket commentators say when Strauss was made captain that he's the first South African to captain England? |

[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 |

They aren't going to say that because Tony Greig, Allan Lamb and Kevin Pietersen were all South Africans who captained England before Strauss did. |

Did you get rid of all the voices in your head? Do you now miss them and the things that they said?: |

People moan about Eddie and Stevo telling us how good our game is and when its the opposite on the beeb people stoll moan. RL fans in this country are a major reason why it wil never grow out of the heartlands.

I was using potential examples, if you wanted to be technical you could have jumped on the RU comment too. |

So is the idea that we pick these Australians and New Zealanders but then never let them in front of a microphone, or mention them? We undermined international competition when we selected them.
Oh, and neither was Hape the first RL international to score for England. You could probably choose any number who got there before him (back in the days when England RU used to score tries) |
