10 reasons that clearly don't affect everybody.



Which ones apply to you (if any)?

I'm not willing to give any of my money to SL clubs or the RFL unless it involves a Championship club , but you knew that anyway

So you won't support England because they don't have any Championship players in?

And would this be the same if Leigh were in SL?

I would, can't wait to have Sam Tomkins on MY side in an England shirt!

Until the RFL ( Rugby football league ) start to treat the RFL ( Rugbys Forgotten Leagues ) with a bit more respect , no

I used to say GB before club but that was in a bygone era when players were picked on form rather than reputation, at the moment the England team is more or less picked regardless of form and only changes due to injuries. We will never compete with the Aussies/Kiwis until we build an England squad based on form, the England nights is a good idea to increase the international player pool, but as always come competition time the usual suspects will be in the national team again getting beat and whinging they paly to much rugby. Its time for a clear out we are two years away from the world cup and as such should be bringing in the players that will be the backbone of that squad not this current batch of nearly men, on the subject of cetral contracts I could not disagree more that they are needed all that would happen is the usual suspects would be guaranteed their place no matter how bad they play in the England shirt. I will go back to country first when the national team is picked on merit and form not on who they play for or because they have always played.

Club first for me, because the RFL have modelled the game towards club first and country a distant second. The season is to long for our international players, season starts in Winter and finishes in the autumn.

Too many overseas players means we can,t develop home grown players into future internationals.

Also our international past and present coach during super league is of abysmal standard, which means players play at a lower standard than there club form.

I'm just happy with this balance. Club game as the bread and butter, national game as a nice extra.

Seeing as England are never going to play Wigan in a competitive match I don't understand why it has to be either, or.

Who said it did?

It's a case of which one people prefer first. They may not play each other, but they may play at the same time. And fans will only have so much money and emotion to invest.

I used to be country before club everytime. I loved the ashes in the early noughties and I hated the aussies. Since 2008 the England team have just not given me anything to get passionate about, I want to be passionate about it but I just can't... I don't see enough from them... then the England fans booing our own players just topped it off for me. I am going to the four nations matches and I will probably be up for it when I get there... but untill England fans stop booing our players and untill the players play with some passion like Sculthorpe and Faz used to... I don't want to put my country before my club.



I do want this to change though, can't see it anytime soon though.

Got to say I'm club. Mainly down to the fact that there are more matches etc. But I'm more than happy to pull out my England jersey and go to watch the internationals when they are being played.



The atmosphere at international games needs to be improved. I know it's difficult as fans are coming from different clubs but a couple of chants/songs and also all the fans supporting all the players might help
