In a couple years we could also have Joe Burgess from Wigan pushing for a Wing spot.

I'd personally prefer a squad of 20 - 25 international standard players in GB shirts who could challenge the Aussies and Kiwis. That would be far better publicity for the game. Smith, Tomkins, Briscoe, Khan, Ali I don't care on the names just all born in GB and worthy of the GB shirt.

So the England RL team in a different colour and named jersey? Top idea. You've sussed our problem, as England we've got no chance of winning but put GB on the scoreboard and we'll go on to win with the same group of players. Ingenious.

I take you have had a skin full.



The op said how wonderful it would be for the game to have 4 burgess boys in the team. Great publicity blah blah blah. I was merely stating that to get truly great publicity the game simply needs 20 - 25 international class players either GB or Eng it really makes no difference, who can compete with the kiwis and Aussies. Who they are or what they are called is irrelevant providing they are British / English. Until that happens we might as well pack up.

HTH.

The whole Burgess family want to emigrate to Australia full time so I suppose this is one way of doing it. The other 3 will probably end up working in a bar or something and they may well be joined by Sam if he keeps getting injured.
