@CherryWhitePins@leytherTom No you should just learn to manage the cap situation and stop whinging about it. It should be easier to manage when you’re just burning out teenagers, yet Wigan is the one team complaining
@CherryWhitePins@leytherTom No you hoover up players stopping everyone else signing them at 16. You could probably keep them if you stop signing the likes of Walters, Wilson and Thompson
@linmanfu@hypothxsis@woodward_curtis Ireland has too much sport that’s the problem? Just run a diaspora team, the team can literally be for the diaspora rather than the actual Irish, though still pick Ronan Michael.
@linmanfu@hypothxsis@woodward_curtis Didn’t they used to have overlap when they played Canada and the USA and a few British players would come over and play with the Jamaicans?
Obviously this doesn’t happen as much now (I think due to the other 2 countries)
@mkp6666@NRL Because he got a court to rule that he only played for Aus so he could play Origin and now that that rule has changed he should be allowed to pick a new country.
@linmanfu@hypothxsis@woodward_curtis It is on TV. My point was more that Ireland has a 6 team league that formed after they got a national team, it’s better than nothing (though Ireland is pointless as it is so saturated with sport). How does Jamaica’s national team have no overlap?
@HeCanPlayFor@linmanfu Surely that will be offset by those who do get to NZ becoming more likely to play League? Obviously I’m on the other side of the earth so not aware of any political or societal changes for this.
@BangorAyeGaz@chrisholme1983 Get rid of those 10 players and the quality craters and the English players get even worse. Producing more Alex Mellor’s isn’t going to help the national team
@hypothxsis@woodward_curtis It’s worked with Jamaica, got a diaspora team then developed a domestic game, also Lebanon before the country took a turn for the worse, Ireland, Wales, Fiji even. Give someone something to cheer for they’ll have a lot more interest
@linmanfu@HeCanPlayFor There is definitely still a steady flow from Ireland to England mainly to London but this somehow still leads to them playing rugby league, when at full strength Ireland always seem to have a Londoner playing
@the_real_flea@CamDonDuncan Also benefits Italy, Greece, Jamaica, Serbia and anywhere else where immigration to UK and Australia has dried up. Samoa and Tonga don’t benefit anywhere near as much as them.
@Nerd_Alert__01@RickHJohnston Nuclear waste isn’t really an issue but reprocessing is really expensive and the way the UK went turned out to be the wrong fuel type that no one wants, hence it’s all in a big shed
