to be fair to the RFU, seems the RFL arent to fussed either, Brough, Harrison, Bridge, Evans twins and Faasavalu iirc.

I know that chief, was just having another pop at our Stains supporting friend.

fair play then! proceed!

The boy is class

He is also a nice lad. Spoke to him many times and he seems very polite and reserved. Will be a great asset to our squad. Welldone Rhys!

Give it a year or two of everyone telling him how awesome he is and you might find that reservation goes from his personality. Fingers crossed the politeness doesn't go with it!

Superb young player who I first commented on here about two years ago. The challenge will be to keep him. in Rugby League

He looks like a fantastic little player, but surely for the sake of international RL he should play for Wales (and his brother too, if he's as good as advertised).

Similarly Brough should play for Scotland.

On the subject of playing for England or Wales:

He has a free choice. He could even play for Scotland if he wished. The reason lies in the loose definition of what constitutes a country, and therefore, nationality. Wales, even by the loosest definition of a country is not one. If you want to get technical it is actually part of England: a region of. This is the reason they have a regional assembly and not a parliament. You can only have your own parliament if you are recognised as a country. A simplistic view of this would be to ask everyone who live in Great Brittan to look at their passport and see what it says. The all share the same nationality. My wife and I, she who was born in llanidlose in mid Wales share the same nationality. We are both British. We were not born in separate countries. As is usually the case this comes down to money. Because players are paid to represent their 'country' they cannot be excluded from doing so based on the region within the country that they were born. There is the power of employment law.

Just noticed at the end of his interview on Sky, he was asked about the England/Wales situation, and said that for him right now England is the best choice.

The code the twins could of easily have played in South Wales but instead made the move up North to play league?

Can't see it somehow.

Money talks but it's a none topic really isn't it.

Anyway I was impressed with him today, and not just in attack. He kept Kallum, who is regarded as the best young British centre by a lot, quiet for the majority of the game and put him under pressure casing dropped balls a couple of times. Looks like were finally starting to develop some good prospects at last. Now all we need to do is teach them how to read an attacking line without ball watching

First seen/heard of Rhys years ago. I remember him going around the HJ with his service area team, my mate's brother had seen him and said he was as fast as anyone up to the 16's/18's at the club. Always kept my ears open for him and it's always been a matter of when, not if.

Am I correct in saying that the main reason we got him was down to the lack of (at the time at least) scholarship for u-16's in Welsh RU and RL?

Definitely a stud, fingers crossed we keep him for his best years.

Lets give him time,before we start to big him up to much.

But he wants to play for England and England RU have plenty of cash. Being Welsh I would prefer that he went to England RU, then at least we could make excuses for him and say he choose England for the money and not because he has no pride in his own country of origin.
