Is Henderson the fella who made his debut for Bradford against Saints on Sky, after a video interview with him aired prior to the game said his strongpoint was his defence: who then turned around and ran away when Cunningham ran directly at him?

Or am I getting him mixed up for someone else?

I disagree, a lot of talk is about the pride that comes from wearing the National Strip, if you can swap that the strip every year then wear is the pride?

If you decide your playing for Scotland then you shouldn't be able to change your mind years later, if you have dual nationalities or have parents etc from different countries then fair play choose.

But once you've chosen you shouldn't be able to switch, a lot of sports have this rule.

That I agree with.

But I don't see the problem people have with players who don't have caps for other countries then playing for another country like Chase in RL then the likes of KP, Trott etc in cricket.

Problem was Chase had played for Kiwi's as a under - 21 player (if I remember right) which is technically choosing your side.

Correct player, however incorrect game it was Leeds at Headingley and I think it was Ryan Bailey who ran at Henderson Other than that he had a pretty solid debut and played a big role in our end of season run in.

apart from rangi chase never played for the "kiwis u21'S".........but anyway carry on



as for ian henderson..apart from playing for scotland last year...he's bloody 30 anyway..hows that building for the world cup??

Ah, happy to be corrected

I just remember seeing him turn and run away, and laughing as I'd only just watched him say words to the effect of "I'm an awesome defender"

Why can't we just be Great Britian? RFL

This.

McIlorum has been superb this season, only second to Roby.

Burrow > Mcllorum

+1

How do Wigan fans know that Mcllorum has been the 2nd best hooker is SL this season, have they seen every hooker in either game?

Or is it just guess work?

They don't, but they play for Wigan so they will automatically assume they are the best unless it's painfully obvious they aren't.

I'll say it again, once you select your nation you shouldn't be allowed to switch.

i've no problem with the likes of Henderson representing Scotland and Richards representing Ireland as their parents and from that country.

But i don't like them saying they want to represent Scotland/Ireland at just so they can play at a WC then wanting to play for England.

because that would be BORING zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

let's see some national identity - give everyone a team to be proud of

re - Hendo,if he was born in Torquay dosn't that give him some rights to play for England ?

I don't care if he or anyone else has played for another country - if the rules in force at any given moment allow then why not ?

Obviously its just their opinion, doesnt mean it is fact. Hes been one of our best in all of the 5 games so far and we are playing pretty well so i guess thats how they have formed this opinion.

His workrate is fantastic, and I think Bradford have really missed him since he left

however at age 30 he isn't one for the future, and we should be giving Mcllorum or Houghton a chance to impress

Eh?

I am pretty sure he said he was second best?

forget the nationality of the guy!

McBanana has clearly made an almighty cock upnot picking both Danny Haughton and Luke Robinson!!

Henderson is 30 and is not gonna play for England for the next 4-5 years, Robbo and Danny will. Stupid decision!!!

I kind of agree with that, but would players hold on to wait and see if they got picked for, say, New Zealand making the Pacific Islands teams even weaker?

How do all these pacific Islanders suddenly become a kiwi is it parents or living there?

www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... ml&BID=480 Quote Having made the switch from scrum-half to hooker with devastating effect for Leeds, Rob Burrow could be given the chance to do the same for his country. The diminutive Rhinos favourite wears the number seven shirt for the Super League champions but he has not looked back since moving to hooker and England coach Steve McNamara admits he now sees him in that role.'" so why pick the 30 year old scotland captain & HOOKER!!!!!!!! the guy is a nob!

Where did Brough learn to play RL ? Where did Henderson get his RL education? In a few years if he cannot make the England squad what odds of him turning out for France ?

These so called "Pacific Islanders" (sic) where did they learn to play RL ? Could you list the players currently representing came to new zealand on a pro/semi pro contract without ever playing in New Zealand before?
