I think our very own Richie Myler would have something to say about that.

The one thing I worry about, as has been said before - is the "coming back to bite you in the ass" part!!

Danny Brough will of taken Tonys comments on board, and may well have the game of his life when they next play us - in the Challenge Cup - or if not then, in the Play offs. For years I used to stand in the Fletcher Street end, and listen to us sing abuse to the oppositions best players, such as Greg Mackey, And Farrell, Paul Bishop, and in particular, Bobby Goulding, only to wind them up, and then rip us apart - just hope this doesn't happen here!!!

only difference was, we were crap back then.

I'd love to actually hear from the horses' mouth the reasons they both give for their actions, although i agree with Rico TS SHOULD have said 'No comment' i'm thinking deeper. I think maybe TS has probably very subtlety been McNamara's mouth piece on this, so i'm thinking i know McNamara's side of the story already.

The scrapping of GB and i think this is a major problem for the country hoppers, England is now seen as the 'top' team(even though they would be GB or no GB) but it makes players only really want to make themselves available for England.
Bring back a once every two years GB team.
Enforce rules of the first International team you play for, you play for life.
Bring in tournaments between the home nations, scrap the Exiles and have it running through the year, mid week games.

Stop players like Brough, Bridge, Evans brothers, Carvell, Grix and whoever else being put into the situation even remotely in which they almost feel compelled to only make themselves available for England.
We could grow the international game better if the players spread themselves out evenly between England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales and knowing that whoever they played for did no harm to their GB selection.

This.

Not difficult, surely.
