Including 7 from one club!

I know some of these are legit but to say this is disappointing is an understatement. The only real chance this sport has to grow is the international game yet it is treated with such contempt by a large number of clubs.

Not enough people take the international game seriously, but a friendly against a championship level side is hardly going to help England based players overcome their own limitations, not improve the poor coach in charge.

“You are playing a game of football this afternoon but more than that you are playing for England, and more even than that, you are playing for right versus wrong. You will win because you have to win. Don’t forget that message from home. England expects every one of you to do his duty.”

Awful article and more Saints baiting on here too. Saints had 9 of their starting 17 players out against Warrington and yet still face this blatant trolling? How about they write articles baiting other clubs, that have just pulled their players for the sake of it?

They are all banned due to the RFL vendetta against the mighty St Helens club

But that's because International RL has dragged itself into the gutter with a lack of games, players withdrawing etc. France also never making a step forward doesn't help matters either.

Union can make some very dubious matchups sell, England RL.should he selling out 25k stadiums with ease in the heartlands.

Anyone that’s pulled out of this game shouldn’t be in contention for the series against Tonga.

We’ll lose that anyway due to the bad attitude of the superleague superstars so it’s worth it to throw it away for the longer term gain of giving them a reality check.
