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.
Sinfield at 6 or 9
Farrell at 6
Horney on the wing

Very good point surely he'd then be "English" & only count on the non-fed list?

What are people thoughts on this BTW? Guessing it's going to be more of the same. rlCherry-Evans for England?rl

ATTENTION

Any English youngsters wanting to play RL and hope to play for England....DONT BOTHER.

Not just KP....Trott,Prior,Strauss,Morgan,Dernbach,Lumb,Kieswetter and this other 1 just been called up.

Not just us though look at the aussies, Civonneceva, Uate, Tuquiri to name a but a few.

What a farce and what a kick in the teeth to the young lads coming through.

How the RLIF can justify allowing Chase to play for England, less than 12 months after representing the NEW ZEALAND Maoris and the EXILES just beggers belief.

It should be if your not born in England, then you can't represent England. I don't agree with the heritage ruling either to be honest but allowing Chase is beyond a joke, he's only been in the country three seasons. Also you should only be able to play for one national side during your career.

Am i the only 1 who thinks he is vastly over-rated as well?????
