Fa'asavalu selected in GB squad!!
Fa'asavalu selected in GB squad!!
I'm all for putting out the strongest possible team available, for a test match. But how on Earth can this guy be selected for GB?
No, this is nothing against him beig a Saints player and I know that he is classed as eligible because he has lived over here for a certain length of time. But, IMO if you are playing for GB you should be British. He doesn't even qualify through any ancestry.
I would love to have a player of his calibre available to us to come off the bench, but not a foreign player. What next? Trent will be turning out for GB!!!

I cant agree with you, Ive never rated Tickle and i still dont.I dont think hes good enough for G.B.
I thought when Wigan got rid of Tickle it was a great bit of buisness as its given Hanson a chance to shine and IMO was one of the most consistant players last year.

Tickle was one of the great "what ifs". Much undoubted talent, but, a "big time charlie" with an ego to boot. He could have been a real star for the club.lancaster077 posted:

He wasn't missed by Wigan last season, and IMO wont be at any point in the future. His attitude and application was more than questionable (as was his "one on one" defence).
