thought newton could only play for the USA or australia?? saying that tho...at least 5/6 of your squad can play for who the hell they like.... especially when it comes to new contracts and passports

| There's an Aussie backrower about to make himself available for England after being ignored by Aussie selectors, can't recall his name, where's Sheldon when you need him.

totally agree with you philb, its a load of bollox this residency/grandparents/friends/mothers cousin lark, when you start messing about letting overseas players play for GB makes a mockery of the game!
I think Manu is a class player, but seeing him in a England shirt, would be just wrong!!

This is the thing that really sticks in my throat about it all. Besides the issue of whether or not it should be allowed, in many cases people ignore the reasons as to why the players want to do so in the first place. Often it's because they are being ignored by their main country. It's insulting IMO, and how on Earth feeding from cast-offs will help close the gap is beyond me.
I'm personally against it anyway, even if it would be for someone as good as Manu.

| Manu strikes me as a very proud Tongan. I'd be surprised if he wanted to play for England.

| didnt Jarryd Hayne represent Fiji and is now a regular for Australia and state of origin. If someone is good enough and qualifies to play let them whats the point in missing out on a player (not just Manu anyone) Austrailia and New Zealand do it. I think the Quota system is all wrong anyway what with all the loop holes they should just say 17 of the top 25 earners in your squad (salary cap) should qualify for great britain

| Love Manu but it's a no for me. That said the coach should exploit every opportunity he can, the aussies do.

| What's the difference between Manu and Fa'asavulu?
If Macca wants to pick him and he improves the national side then why not.

That is my point...whether it is right or wrong the bar has been set, so manu should be considered.

Our game is a laughing stock at international level already imo. I dont agree with what the RFL have done already and wont agree if Manu gets a call up.
