Im patriotic mate and i love beating the Aussies but i get a far greater buzz seeing my hometown win something than i would do seeing England/GB win.
Im the same with football.Im a big Evertonian but im even more passionate about Wigan RL simply because its my hometown and it gives me that extra buzz.
Just how it is with me.Each to their own i guess.

But from where I'm coming from.

Which is better for Rugby League, not which is better for Wigan.

And there is nobody who bleeds Wigan RLFC more than I do.

Can't speak for anyone else, but I was around and supporting Wigan in the fifties - I remember my dad taking me to the 1960 WC final, mainly because Boston & Ashton (amongst others) were playing for GB. Had there been no Wigan players in the side, I suspect we wouldn't have gone - which would have been a pity, if only because of missing all the "biff"!

I wouldnt disagree with you at all and yes i'm probably being naive and selfish but its just the way i feel.
I used to go all the Internationals up until maybe the mid 90's but i grew tired of some of the grief i had to take from some bitter and jealous fans of other clubs(yes a minority but still annoying) just because I had a Wigan shirt on even though we were all supposed to be supporting the same team.
I suppose that may be why i feel like i do.
And i know you bleed Wigan RL !!

Brian Carney? The same Brian Carney who has retired from rugby league?
So you came up with one player out from three whole nations.
The same was said about Argentina and Italy in rugby union and look what's happened to them.

Best thing about internationals is seeing the spectacle that is Aus V NZ. Never a dull game. Or any Aus game for that matter, its like the best of queensland and Nsw, come together. Awesome team, great to watch

my 1st ever match was GB v Aus at Central Park in 1982

I've loved internationals ever since.

As much as I love watching Wigan / Superleague in general, I dont think you can beat the atmosphere of a full house when GB v Aus play each other. I dont buy into this England, scotland etc, unless we are going to develop the game properly in all the regions

Perhaps they should be playing a home four nations, with a developing England team to give players exposure at a higher level, and stick with GB to knock f*** out of the aussies

Not too bothered about England but was hugely passionate about GB when we played the test series v Aus and NZ in years gone by.

We have played as GB since year dot and we should still do, I know its almost the same team anyway but its the pride in the jersery which is different.

Surely it's GB in all but name? I could understand Englishmen not being fussed about Irland or Scotland, but England?
Wigan RLFC... Wigan Warriors RLFC.

Lee briers?

Danny brough?

Danny McBrough went back to Scotland after McNamara overlooked him

More like if Wigan changed its name to Lancashire Warriors or Whelley Warriors it would be the same team and fans but wouldn't have the same prestige as Wigan.

Lancashire Warriors ... I like it
