| Quote DHM="DHM"If it weren't for all the one club bile spouted on places like the VT after international defeats or the constant reference to the "international form" of current SL players I would still be 100% behind the boys. I guess I'm down to 80% now. Even I'm human. '"
Perhaps that explains why I tend to stick to this board where I kindof know everyone and feel safe and warm. Even RhinoNeil loves me really. |

| Quote rich86="rich86"Yes, I have heard this theory talked about.
I just don't see the motivation for these players to get stuck in and give our boys a proper good go. Unless we are going to throw some cash at them. And why would these former Aussies/Kiwis want to help England be mre competitive?'"
Well they wouldn't want to "help" would they?! They WOULD however, like to get one over on England. Given that they're all from countries that love getting one over on England. Hence the motivation for giving our boys a proper good go.
Plus there's pride at stake. Delaney defending against Hall?! Morley trying to close down Briers kicking game? Tomkins trying to defuse a Richards bomb? They'd all be well up for it!
Edit - I do realise Delaney would be hard pushed at getting into said team! |

| Quote Damo-Leeds="Damo-Leeds"Looking at the bigger picture, I hope that every player does well in this tournament whenever their Australian, Kiwi, Papa New Guinean or English. After all it’s the best of what our sport has to offer at this moment in time.
However I’ll be supporting England because I’m English and I’ll be leaving club royalties behind. I think the whole ‘not wanting James Graham to succeed because he doesn’t play for Leeds Rhinos’ is childish at best.
Good luck to them all IMO and let the best team win!
 '"
Are you sure you are English ?
What does ''whenever their'' mean ?
What ''club royalties'' are you leaving behind ?
Translations please |

It's England and i'll be supporting them no matter what my opinions are re-coaches or the players selected.
Not expecting to win but wanting to win are 2 totally different things.

| Quote tvoc="tvoc"Rugby League - yes but other than that I am completely indifferent except for England RU where I actively support England's opposition (from my comfy armchair)'"
Yup. In fact, when the nancyball millionaires get embarrassed by the likes of the Faroe Islands these days I also quite enjoy that. |

| Quote DHM="DHM"A trip to the lunatic asylum that calls itself the Virtual Terrace come international season would see that one-club to$$baggery is a disease that infects the entire RL "community" with equal virulence.
Please don't take that as a suggestion that you should visit the VT though, I would feel responisble for any mental damage inflicted on yourself.'" Quite and I think that is the point the OP is making.
You just know that if by some miracle our boys do anything decent this place will be awash with morons from cas/Wakey/Hull/Huddersfield who won't care about celebrating Eng;ands success but will want to revel in the fact that it was achieved without many Rhinos players.
Sadly, it's not a scenario I am losing too much sleep about. |

| Quote Andrew J="Andrew J"This thread just about sums up some of the complete idiots that come on here these days. Hang your heads in shame if you do actually want England to lose.'"
Let me guess! A Huddersfield fan who has suddenly become patriotic because they've actually got some representation at International level? How am I doing so far?
We're you this patriotic when the bulk of the squad was Leeds and Saints' players?
Indifferent if I'm being honest. |
