The problem is not really Brough but the system. Kevin Rudd (RLEF) on the TotalRL admits it is a problem and is going to press the RLIF on some rule changes at least for the next world cup if not before.
I think its sad that players change nations just like this. I am proud to have played for Germany 6 times and would never even think about playing for any British national team in any sport at any level-simply because my heart would not be in it 100%. I think sometimes the managers/Coaches who pick the squads should be tougher and just pick players who show true commitment and are not likely to change "Nationality" when they feel like it.
I understand why the 4 Nations have been Split as it brings in MILLIONS of Pounds more to the game at various levels. To be honest GB was basically England with the odd exception. Scottish, Welsh, Irish Players now have more of a chance to represent their nation against other nations like Serbia, Russia, Lebanon, South Africa etc. Internationals will take time but things are going in the right direction. I would rather see a proper Scottish team than a team full of English/Aussie Heritage players.
u can't possibly change the international sides that you play for its just a joke
and clearly proves (as stated before in a previous post) that our international game is a joke
the rfl say they want rugby league to expand (never going to happen)
so what good will this do young supporters in scotland if their star player and captain doesn;t want to play anymore
DISGRACE
