Dont blame the player blame the RL who have failed to expand the game and have for years allowed too many over seas players into the league using spurious ways to get them off quota, e.g Willie Mason who thought he could pretend he was from Tonga, Korki who had Greek heritage, to name just 2. Start closing the loop holes and reducing the quota and we may start to bring through and develop our own players.
And don't pretend the Aussies don't do it either Petero Civoniceva & Lote Tuqiri = Fijian. John Hopoate & Antonio Kaufusi = Tongan. Karmichael Hunt, Big Willie Mason & Tony Carroll = all Kiwis. Magic El Masri = Lebanese. Have all pulled on the Green and Gold Jersey and One of Aussies greatest ever players and captain Warrington born Bobby Fulton.
And to those who have enjoyed the success of the England Cricket team over the last 18 months maybe you would like to check the nationality of various players.
The win at all costs attitude has mean't that we no longer stick to the "you gotta be English to play for England"
Quote="Richard1"The thing is chase is virtually guaranteed to play scrum half for England i think as his form is better than DB and he has better skills than Lomax which is a shame. I dont think he should be in the squad.'"
Totally agree lads..England have the chance to mould Widdop amd Lomax into a partnership for next 10 years... Bit like the Thurston/Lockyer combo for Aus, but instead the look to foreign imports...Laughable
