Why thank you i'll take that salute.
I love rugby league with a passion and go to every possible international game, grand final, challenge cup final etc etc but as a fan of the sport i can see it's in abit of a struggle at the moment.
The standard of the league has been dumbed down not built up and it was proven by Englands awful preformences in the world cup. We're further behind then ever in the international stakes at the moment and something has to be done.
I remember going watching Great Britain teams including Davies, Schofield, Hanley, Edwards etc etc and more recently Sculthrope, Farrell,Newlove,Connolly ect and thinking they were poor sides in comparison to the Austarlians but christ they'd kick our current team all over the place.
Wellens, Gardner, Burrow, Westwood etc international players? not in my lifetime.............oh wait they are
