brian carney can play for gb because it's great britain and ireland!

We already know that.

The complaint is about Australians who claim Irish ancestory to get in without a work permit and who thus don't count on the overseas quota.

There is not one Wigan (or Bradford fan I should imagine) who questions Carney's right to a GB place.

In fact we are lucky to have him in the squad.

The problem is with players who get into team like Bradford as off-quota players because they have a suitable passport and THEN won't go the whole hog and commit to GB at RL.

If they want to come and play here as British players so they don't count on-quota they should be willing to play for GB.

None of them will which is one more reason there are too many of them in the GB game.

i h8 that rule that says 'if his grandparents/mum/dad/sister/brother/pet cat or whatever, is english then he doesnt count as an overseas player the point is, is that they are born and bred in australia or whatever so they should be classed as an oversea player aaaargh
