This is a joke - a kick in the teeth for the English lads who are in contention, based on a cynical attempt by Chase's legal team to strengthen his visa application.

International RL becomes more irrelevant as each year passes.

Yep its so different to Cricket, Athletics, Boxing, RFU, Wendyball The list is endless. Lets face it its because he plays for Cas thats the real issue and why nothing was said when Widdop was selected ?

Don't be crediting yourselves with too much importance, it has nothing to do with who he plays for. Feel exactly the same about Chris Heighington being in there. And to some extent Jack Reed, but at least he was born over here. Chase is a kiwi, end of and shouldn't be representing England. Couldn't care less what happens in other sports either. Oh and Widdop lived in Halifax til he was 16, he actually is English!

Can anyone honestly say this suprises them. When i looked at this an just laughed, thought this is what sport in this country is ending up like. Such a slap in the face to youngsters like lomax and gaskell who i thought might be a chip in for the number six shirt. If years of watching quality players being played out of postion for england doesnt suprise you neither should this, the international scene is a pee take.

6. P. Sculthorpe
7. M. Forshaw (No really)
9. K. Sinfield
13. A. Farrell
