What about the issue of trying to reduce the amount of foreigners in our game in order to develop our youth?
Yeah you can only have a limited number of Aussies/ kiwis playing for your club ( I know even this is rubbish now but eh) cos we want to be competitive on the international scene. Er but we don't mind filling our national team with said Aussies/ kiwis.
Joke . End of

What a joke.

Quote Sebasteeno="Sebasteeno"Widdop is gash and only gets in the team because he plays in Oz. Lomax is good but isnt as good as Chase though might be in a few years'" I'm soooooo glad you don't work as a talent scout for Hull mate lol. Widdop is awesome on a different level to Chase I'm afraid, it's a whole different ball game out there and it's his rookie season. If it hadn't been for the spectacular season by Cherry-Evans he was on for the Dally M. Also read Macca wanted Cherry-Evans for England aswell?

Hes a New Zealander. End.Of.

Sorry state of affairs when we have to resort to picking foreigners to play for ENGLAND.

I cannot ever understand an individual wanting to play for any other country than their own. For me it show a lack of respect for his/her own country.

Who is most likely to miss out now?

Widdop?Brough?Lomax?

Couldn't agree more. I think its embarrassing, when it happens in any sport.

It stinks and the RFL has once again stooped to a low level.

Why not ask the NRL to field two teams and call one England or maybe we can just hire in who we want. Sorry this has lost me I like the internationals and I want to see English players taking on the Kiwi's at the KC, appears I am watching mercenaries.

Garbage. How can someone who was born in England be less English than someone who was born in NZ, didn't come to England until he was in his mid 20's and has only been here about 3 years?

I think macca' and Rfl need to take a long hard look at them selfs' if macca wants to coach a team of nz'aus players then he should fook off to the nrl. Mind you would he get an assistants job out there. Just sure's you how much faith macca as in his players he's even tried to talk cherry evens into playing for England what a joke.

Fair comment.

All sports do it RU, cricket and football etc.

But i've always being proud of the fact that England rugby team has not gone down this route.

I think McNamara is desperate man, another poor 4 Nations may result in him losing his job.

Also Chase played for the Exiles against England only a few months back.

Agree 100%.
