Thoughts?

Arguably the next best thing in the league after Roby.

Opens a can of worms.

Good player. English born and playing in Super League. Certainly have less problem with him in a rep shirt than Chase. Also has more sensible views on Castleford [urlhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bradford/7688460.stm[/url.

Yes, I'm well aware of the stereotyping by the convict. The unclassy member of the Henderson family.

Not really, born in England, played for Scotland, switched to England, just another Danny Brough.

Is he no classified as English then or off the quota? I remember when Andy tried to come off the quota but the rfl were having none of it.

He's playing well, but I don't rate him as much as Luke Robinson who is also playing well! I think Luke Robbo deserves another chance after his previous performances in an England shirt. Both Henderson and Robbo are better than Mcllorum IMO.

So you don't mind that a Scottish international with Scottish parents who spent most of his life in Australia and doesn't play in England has been selected for England?

I personally don't care, if he improves the side pick him...just a shame Manu has been overlooked, and I'd hope they've at least asked Dobson if he would be interested.



Milner & Clark at Cas are both better than McIlorum too but they aren't even in the Knights squad (from what I saw at first glance).

has he switched to england? or has he just been blindly selected

No. As with Danny Brough, I don't mind an English born player playing for England. We all know that the Scottish/Welsh parentage thing is a sham to create more competitive "national" RL teams in provinces where top-level RL isn't played. Our main international team shouldn't suffer because of this sleight of hand.

Agree Manu would add something to the squad if you don't mind his eligibility. Also add Houghton at Hull to the long list of English hookers better than McIlorum.

Always though Henderson was a decent Hooker at Bradford, was confused when they let him go.

Always been a big believer that this pick your country stuff is a farce. Would rather roll out 13 english lads and get mullered then a team with aussies, scots and Kiwis and put up a better fight.

Henderson and Brough should both continue to play for Scotland and improve their national team.

It's people that think like that being given positions of power that has stopped both the English RL and football teams from competing.

Most of the top teams in every sport have players from other countries representing them and when it's in the rules and makes your team better - you do it.

Its about time they brought in a rule once you play for one country you stick to that country.
