and Danny Brough?

dont talk wet..jack reed BORN IN ENGLAND..chase born in new zealand, thats enough for me to say that reed should be allowed to play and chase shouldnt do..

born in england????????????????????????????????

What a farce.....this makes rugby league a laughing stock! I at least had pride in telling the rugby union supporters at work that we at least can call our team English.

Whilst I think Rangi is a good player I don't think he's international quality anyway. I wonder if this is Mcbanana's idea. If so I hope its just to give extra impetus to lads who were actually born here!

Like I said i'm not your pal and judging by your intellect I can't imagine we ever would be.

Rangi Chase is a New Zealand citizen, and because of some ridiculous loophole he can play for England, if he does we will be more of a laughing stock in this part of the world then we already are.

Steve McNamara is a desperate man.

look, and the end of the day, if your born in england then you should be allowed to play, if you aint, then sod off....... simpleas that, maybe if these rules were used, the state of world international rugby league would be in a better shape......
fiji would benefit for a start, samoa,tonga too.....

BUT it isnt therefore lets get on with it, if other countries are doing it then why should we not?

sheer principles...and if these rules continue to stand, international rugby will die........ how can you have a national team, with differant nationalities playing for them???

Because the rules are shabby. you can only play by the rules......

RL makes the rules up as they go along...complete farce...hope chase doesnt start doing the haka at KC come november time....

from what i can remember jack reed was offered the chance to play for aus or england, he chose england. but would everyone be complaining so much if the aussies had selected one of OUR english players for their squad

More of an issue for me would be that, someone who is classed as a resident of England and plays for 'his' country (England) is still classed as 'foreign' overseas player... Not saying it's right but surely he shouldn't be a quota player....

Have to agree with you on this, just cos other sports & countries are doing this I don't think we should follow.
The England games aren't hugely supported anyway but this just makes us more of a laughing stock if you ask me.
I've got nothing against Chase as a player, he's been great for Cas this year but I would much rather give Lomax a shot at it. He has stepped up this year for Saints & played really well so why not?
That's where I think we are behind internationally, the fact Oz & Kiwis aren't afraid to pick people on form regardless of age.
For years now players have been picked in positions they haven't played in all year just to get them on the park.
