Re: Australia vs England : Sun Oct 31, 2010 7:53 pm  
Like someone said above, I paraphrase, let us play on a level paying field, may be we will still lose but at least there would be no excuses...

I think the RFL need to get off of their chicken livered backsides and get that particular chestnut sorted....

Hoewever, read this I persoanlly think this is someone talking who has a modicum of sense...

Dave Woods speaks a huge amount of sense there. I just wish that the RFL would listen to people like him instead looking in on themselves all the time.

I thought that we played better in the second half. But we're are still not good enough.
It does not matter what side we put out, the Aussies will always beat us.
The american football game from Wembley was far better.
The next game is against P.N.G. and this will not be a easy game for England.

Re: Australia vs England : Mon Nov 01, 2010 11:41 pm  
I've always said that there are far too-many 'imports'.

No matter what anyone says, the RFL still bow to Sky and touch their forelocks in obedience.

There should be no 'residency term-qualification' for any player. Forget how many have grandmothers/granfathers who used to live in England/Wales/Scotland. Individual players must have been born in the country for which they wish to play. That should be the only qualification.

How many Australian clubs have non-Australian players in their teams, let alone their National team (forget about the Pacific Islands).

It's the same in any England squad - especially cricket.

We need to develop our own talent and forget about 'multi-culturalism' wherever and whenevr it raises its ugly head; otherwise we're doomed. Let anyone who isn't GB born and bred (also English) play for their own country and see if they can break into their Test squad - no matter what sport.

I'm all for Imports, so long as they're top quality.

It's the mediocre ones the that shouldn't be over here.

Due to EU employment law we can't stop the ones with EU passports from coming over.

There should also be financial incentives for the Semi Pro and Amateur clubs to produce young talent. What's the point of them investing precious time and money on developing players if the cream of the crop go to Super League for free?
