Marauder Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 English Lions I believe are selected from (Summer) and BARLA are selected from any team affiliated to BARLA (Winter/Summer) Carlsberg don't do Soldiers, but if they did, they would probably be Brits. http://www.pitchero....hornemarauders/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoopdog Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Let's hope the player selection is much fairer and transparent than the head coach selection, absolutely shocking decision and another example of jobs for the boys, we wonder why the game is dying.

Is that a dig at the coach!? Or coaches obviously not sure on who are what but from what’s been said makes it sound like a given job!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoopdog Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 If you read the post it clearly states head coach. Not a personal dig more on the personal who decides the appointment. This is the coaches 3rd tour I believe, 2 with Barla , 1 Cumbria. On 2 occasions he was actually coaching RU in a very well paid job when he was appointed , what's the saying"it's harder to get out of BARLA then get in " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snoopdog Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Its a BARLA tour! And you confirm my initial post , whoever chose this coach made a poor decision, many coaches involved in the Community game are disgusted . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the community game, like which ones ? and as the saying goes, you have to be in it to win it (who got the job anyway) Carlsberg don't do Soldiers, but if they did, they would probably be Brits. http://www.pitchero....hornemarauders/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauder Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Before we go any further, I buy into the idea that the BARLA team should be selected from players who play in the BARLA leagues, t'other lot have the England Lions Carlsberg don't do Soldiers, but if they did, they would probably be Brits. http://www.pitchero....hornemarauders/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no problems with that, players and coaches should be rewarded for playing in their respective area of choice, obviously if they play both (not just registered) then both BARLA & England Lions should be available.

Cumbria1 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I find it strange that we have County tri series to which the BARLA GB is picked from. I was on the understanding was England Lions are put forward by there clubs. For me there should be trial game for the England Lions as well as BARLA as on the new registration system I have had to register players for the NCL (Run by RFL) team then have them duel registered to play for the 2nd team (Run by BARLA).
