As I mentioned in an earlier post, my daughter has lived all of her life in the UK but has as much identity with Italy (her Mum's nationality) as the UK. I am not going to project my take on this situation to Radley as it means nothing - only he can say how he feels and he has and so I am inclined to believe him. Your projections are also meaningless. As for the opportunity, rewards and accomplishments. Maybe he sees representing his country at a World Cup as more of an opportunity and accomplishment than representing a state/province/county. Let me tell you, the vast majority of the world certainly seem to think that. Identity is one thing, nationality is another, surely there is a definitive answer when asked one’s nationality, what do you reckon Radley tells customs? Where does one’s allegiance lay if there was ever conflict? Given he’s lived his whole life in Australia I doubt he’s ever gone & told people he’s actually English? I mean why would you?

Young Blood Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Not sure how people can determine what nationality someone is My friend is a 4th generation Portuguese, he grew up with the culture, food and customs also speaks the language. He won't qualify for Portugal with these rules but if you ask him. He is proud Portuguese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has the amount of time his father has spent in Australia got to do with his son’s choice & why wouldn’t he last 5 minutes back home ? Weak links ? In modern day International sport representing the country of a parents birth & upbringing is seen by literary no one as a weak link It’s modern international sport that I’m basically railing against I could take a broader approach & not just stick to Rugby League The longer you live somewhere, the more you tend to assimilate & the more your former life seems to drift away, I doubt Victors old man would last 5 minutes because it’s putting yourself back into a third world country, I’m sure he’d be terrified & plead to go home 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Blood Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 It's doesn't make sense to me how Victor Radley called Brad Fittler personally to say include him in the NSW team despite being injured, now he changed his mind. TBH Murray who is same age , Yeo and Carrigan probably in front of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Victor was world class (and so better than Knowles) he would be playing for Australia. This is just a classic case of the NRL blinkers again....if he plays in the NRL he's world class.... I don't agree Frisky one, without a shadow of a doubt the NRL is quite a few rungs up the ladder than SL performs at, Knowles who is a very good player has yet to prove himself in this company, from what perspective are you looking from to say he is as good as anybody in the world without him being tested against them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
