Keith989 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 1 hour ago, JonM said: Fair points. Surely, it's up to RLI to decide what's best for the long-term future for rugby league in Ireland. Is it to pick a competitive team made up of Australians & Englishmen? Or is it to pick a team of people who actually play RL in Ireland, but who'll get battered in the WC. The latter does at least encourage people to start playing, knowing there's a chance to represent the country, but might mean that you don't actually qualify for world cups. The answer is obvious to me at least. Clearly the current system is doing more harm than good when it comes to garnering support for the national side. We need to get as many Irish born players into the side as possible and build the support from there. I know a guy who played union growing up but got onto the Ireland league national side some 10 years ago and he still to this day follows what's happening in the league world.

I allegedly remember when a certain NRL's club's players turned up in a Port Mar**** police station, to describe an alleged accusation they had allegedly been accused of. And allegedly all turned up wearing "thongs". I cannot contain the fe amount of research I had to do to calm people down. And me too, to be fair. "Australia is a spoiled nation.

Bedfordshire Bronco Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 18 hours ago, DC77 said: Dislike the Aussies attritional way of playing the game. They grind down the opposition much like Jose Mourinho and his anti-football used to do in the Premier League, so England going back to their own identity and playing a British open attacking game and winning against the Aussies would be a huge win for the sport. Defences win games and its the NRL's main strength over SL in my view... It can be boring at its worst but in fairness seeing a quality side defend a set of six from 5m out can be exciting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
