[iVeteran Leeds centre Keith Senior has revealed there was a "big divide" between the Rhinos players and their arch rivals from St Helens during England's disastrous World Cup campaign.[/i

And there is me thinking we failed due to us just being $hit

We're always going to have this problem when Leeds players get picked for England. It's called the language barrier.

Aye up lad thas nattering rubbish, nowt wrong wit way we talk ovver ere.

BTW is that the legend Sebastien Tellier as your Avatar?

Close. It's a pic of tb from the 60s.

Well that comes across, IMO , as they couldn't care less about the team as a whole, the international game and even less about the fans, especially those who paid their hard earned to go support them.

Is he grey now

I think this shows the problem with having 2 clubs who provide the majority of the players for the squad, if there was a more even spread of players from all clubs then there would probably be less tension between those from different clubs.

It won't be much of a problem if GB have any run outs in the next few years with Crusaders providing 90% of the squad.

It makes me pretty angry reading this, it was a World Cup FFS, surely they could have put aside any differences and rivalries, the chance of WC glory doesn't come around too often.

Every other country seems to be able to avoid these kind of issues

A lot of the blame has to go to Smith and the coaching staff, surely they could see the tensions? Something shoulda been done to sort it.
