Tours would be difficult as the league seasons run simultaneously here and in Aus.

No more a make believe cover up than what is happening now.



At least under the old system a player declared himself available for a nation and stuck with them because they knew that if they were good enough, they would get picked for GB.



And if players of the calibre of Barrie Mac, Terry O and Harris played for Wales and Ireland then the standard across the home nation sides would be much, much higher than what it is currently.



Yeah I agree that it is a falsehood. But just imagine English born SL players with roots elsewhere deciding to play for Wales, Scotland etc, and then you would have players who would never be considered for England, getting invaluable international RL experience. This in turn would undoubtedly increase the standard of play in the Super league.



It has got to be much better this way, than having 17 aussies running out for the home nations, because no other Bug*er wants to play for them. It is always going to be a falsehood because people in Ireland or Scotland have no real interest in RL.

Yes its true iv posted something of the same on VT its all down to money the reason we changed from GB to England

GB

sorry mate i cant understand your reasoning.

you dont have to pay for a welsh team to play for wales.



all the best welsh players are already in superleague, making them eligible for GB



the great W J Boston was welsh and played for GB.

GB everytime. In the International game GB has respect! England has none!

That's the only reason for me

GB for me

GB everytime.

If the International game is to be taken seriously long term we need all the Home Nations to thrive. I'm all for a GB tour every four years or so but individual countries are the way to go.

Great Britain for me.



Great Britain means Rugby League.



England v Australia meana cricket or rugby union.



With GB, its the Lions crest, the white jumper with the blue and red chevron, its simply Rugby League. The Ashes have to be Great Britain, not England.



I grew up wanting to play for Wigan and beat the Aussies playing for Great Britain. Playing for England sounds 2nd rate when it comes to RL.

I have been watching International RL for nearly 50 years and am proud to say that I have seen Billy Boston, Alex Murphy, Mick Sullivan, Brian McTigue etc., etc., pull on a GB shirt and play with immense pride. To me it will always be GB. I haven't even watched the England game against PNG yet - and I probably never will.
