This is quite pathetic and typical of a small club syndrone.

Get real.

It's not I couldn't careless tbf, the best English forwards are in the NRL, so for me I would not want our players playing/training for nearly a full year, it's pointless my main priority is FC, if they get recognition then fine but if they don't then that's even better from a clubs point of view, do we really want them coming back with big heads demanding bigger contracts? (Westerman) anyway let stevie ward & Ryan hall rip it up, they're playing well at the minute.

You pick out Westerman as if he represents all players who have plaed for England. Westerman has always rated himself more than anyone else has and this has always been his problem. If he could marry himself, I suspect he would.

Scott Taylor, Marc Sneyd and Liam watts have all spoken of how they would love to play for England and hoe it motivates them. If you told them they can no longer play for their country and they are all on settled long contracts what else do they have to motivate them to play well?

steve ward would't even get on the bench at Hull so christ knows how he's got in. Has eddie had a word in bennett's ear? Maybe bennett is just picking the worst team he can get away with him being an aussie and all that

Carl Abblett has been trying that for 5 years and doesnt get selected for England.

It's all well and good to say it will benefit the club but for players it is the pinnacle of their career to play for their country. Players who are snubbed may feel if they played for Wigan or Leeds or an NRL club they would have a better chance of gaining international recognition. Be careful what you wish for.

Exactly, you asked me what they would play for? SL clubs have lots of players that would never get to represent their country, but do a good job.
