So from 2 in 2000, to 8 in 2013 and 9 in 2017 which probably would have been 14 or 15 but for injuries, shows just how well the game is developing in Wales. Can we expect come 2025 a fully born Welsh team?

some good boys coming through the system got 3 boys at Halifax  and 1 at Hunslet all around the same age as Regan Grace and Morgan Knowles at St Helens . next couple of years are going to be exciting i hope.

Why should they? Other sports' Welsh national teams don't, nor do most RL nations. So why should Welsh RL seek to sacrifice themselves on the altar of national purity?

If you have a team that comes from Wales that's what the younger boys will aspire to.  If Cardiff boys see boys from their hometown representing their country it gives them the belief that they can get there to.  the pinnacle of all boys ambition is to represent your country if they think that every time a big tournament comes round we are going to parachute players in from elsewhere why are they going to bother.  For Wales it isn't  about winning the World Cup   its about inspiring the next players to want to play Rugby League and the more who play the better we will get and then who knows.

Personal being they didn't want to go probably.

Dudson has trained all year with the squad, I think he's been carrying a knock, and has chosen to get that sorted

Patrick hasn't played for Cas for some time so could be an underlying issue there

Dont know about Dan Fleming

Gil Dudson, Larne Patrick and Dan Fleming unavailable for personal reasons apparently. http://www.rlwc2017.com/news/wales-announce-24-man-squad-world-cup . Was hoping that Stevie Ward would put his hand up after being left out of the England squad. 

Stevie Ward is having shoulder surgery ---- again!

Is Danny Ansell (a half back who has just joined Swinton from Hunslet) likely to start?

Kear's favourite combo is Olds and Davies. Ollie Olds is injured...

so it'll be Courtney's Davies at 6 and then a battle between Ansell, Seamark and Ralph for 7.

Id say as he knows him and his tactics, Ansell is fabourite

says nothing about Dudson being injured in any report I've read. Just says unavailable!
