I'm pretty sure they got married. I read they were married in Vagas
They've 3 children.

If Austin wanted a route out that could provide an opportunity to bring in George Burgess - with Widdop lined up to slot in to 6 next year anyway. That already sounds like a stronger team.

With Patton at #7

Not biting.

Good grief, hopefully not another early departure. Sandow, Hiku, Roberts, Austin?. Crikey I hope not

To be fair, it’s the chance you take with Aussies. Some settle and some don’t. We went through it with the alecan wife beater Barba.

It's always the backs that feel homesick. Pitty Asotasi never felt homesick.

Patton or Ratchford

I don't think Austin is the type to just walk away, so what if his missus posts about missing home. If i lived in Australia i'd miss home it's only Natural, doesn't necessarily mean they want to just go back home. Would be gutted if Austin did leave though as him and Widdop next year is potentially dynamite. Just need a good forward pack for a change now. Hill isn't Quite as good as he used to be and he's only getting older and the rest of our forward pack aside from Cooper aren't amazing so if we don't rectify that next year we'll still struggle.

4 children.
On social media his kids are really settled and his partner/wife does suggest she misses home a lot. To me looks like it's just comments reacting to family gatherings on other side of the world, for their benefit.

He's just been named in the England squad...

Who's been named in the england squad

No, Hu's been named in the Chinese squad. Watt's the guys name in the Scotland Squad

Austin in the England Performance Squad

Can't wait for the fume. Totally deserved place, if he's eligible he should be playing as he's brilliant.

Biggest suprise if Mike Cooper not getting in. Unbelievable.

Didn't Cooper rule himself out of selection one time?

No

Are England even playing this year? I'm not sure it means too much to be honest. Hopefully the Great Britain squad will be picked by someone different as there are some absolute howlers in the A and B squads. Sean O'Loughlin for example?

He's held together with rope and masking tape these days and is only still wheeling himself out to prevent Wigan from capitulating. There is no way he should be anywhere near an international squad in a playing capacity. And it seems you only have to be English to get into the B squad, some players in that list who will be lucky to get a game in Super League for the rest of the year, never mind do enough to be called up for an international squad.

I really hope they pick those who deserve it for the GB squad. This is the biggest failing of involving Bennett, he clearly hasn't watched a single game of SL in his life.

Still find it weird that Luke gale is yet again picked whilst out for the season. I don't care if it's about developing the Squad and blah blah blah if your out injured you shouldn't be included as you won't play apart at the end of the year Austin behind a quality forward pack will absolutely excel, i hope to god he plays for Great Britain at the end of the year

Isn't Austin an Aussie... Just saying

Is the guest on tonight’s super league match.

English and Portuguese.

Those that cheered the commonwealth select XI to victory over NZ on Sunday is also welcome to support an Rl world cup winning side that contains players with English grandmothers
Yeah?

Not quite the same.

Stokes & Roy - Lived in England since they were kids
Archer & Morgan - English parent

I really don't see the problem. Blake playing along side Widdop i would love to see before they get together for us next season.

Agree with this, no point in people complaining it’s been happening in sport for as long has I can remember. Remember the big drama about Zola Budd, it never changed anything and I doubt it ever will.
