I disagree. He's not English. He's Tongan. He's played for Tonga. He shouldn't, therefore, be able to play for England.
Fernando Torres has been in England for a few years. Doesn't mean that he should be able to play for England in a couple more, does it?
They're both great players, but neither should be able to play for England, as they aren't English.

If Torres hadn't have played for Spain he'd be available for england whenhes been here long enough |

Manu is better than them both IMO but I don't think he should play.

| Quote: sandy "hardly, I welcome the foreign influence in superleague which has made our game the spectacle it is, especially from east hull of course with all the foreigners in our team ![]() I don't believe in shoe horning foreign players into the team to try and compete with the australian team in the name of bringing credibility to the international game. All that does in the end is undermine the international game by weakening teams like tonga, samoa etc. By the way I'd say the same if I was Irish, Welsh etc and the farce that is the grand parent rule!
This is not a Hull versus Rovers thing either, I've gone on record in the past that Willie Manu is a class player and believe it or not I would support an England team with 13 Englishmen who play for FC in it should that happen but nobody with the game at heart can seriously think picking people who have played for other nations for England on residency grounds is a good thing whoever they are, we are not England RU. ![]()
So you never cheered when Tony Smith was in charge? After all he was an integral part of the England team, much in the same way Capello is in the Football.

I'm pretty sure this is one topic in which xenophobia is allowed. International rugby (league and union) is a joke when this happens. The rule should be born in the country or at least a parent born there. Residency is a farce and especially if you've played for your own country before.

I'm pretty sure the same rule applies in football by the way, unless you have already played International football. |

Probably the funniest thing I've ever read on RLFans. Westwood is the most underrated player in SL and is the form back rower of the comp now. His work ethic is amazing, never say die attitude, his tackling is solid and he kicks goals and scores tries. I'm guessing you never watched the match last Friday.
You know nothing about RL  |

Westwood has made more tackles, carried the ball more and made more yards. He's bust more tackles, made more tackles from marker positions, missed less tackles, given away less penalties and made less errors.
Of course Tickle is the better player
