Firstly I'd like to point out that I think this game is a good way of developing the England squad and far more beneficial than thrashing France or Wales as has become the norm. However the game has been scheduled for Friday 10th June whilst Rhinos currently have a game on Sunday 12th. Do the RFL intend to continue with the normal round of fixtures which we have seen in the past? If this is the case then surely Leeds will be missing several England players which form the backbone of our team but then with the addition of at least Buderus and potentially Leuluai and Webb the squad be seriously affected. Therefore could this fixture not have been better scheduled?

Several England players?

Go on, amuse me. On current form, who out of the Leeds side is going to be fit/available and meriting selection for England?

Can't see Leuluai making the Exiles side, Webb is currently behind Brett Hodgson in the voting and I can't see them taking two full backs into the 18.

I imagine Leeds (like any other club) will have the right to postpone their scheduled fixture that weekend if four or more (I think it's four) are involved in this event.

That they will choose not to (if past experience is any guide) is something people should take up with the Leeds CEO rather than the RFL if they're concerned.

Not sure when else this type of fixture could be scheduled without it causing some disruption to the SL programme.

Buderus is captain....

We'll lose Hall, Buderus and.. maybe Sinny?

McGuire back by then for us, McShane to hooker - and it's only a game against Hull KR so no problem

Wouldn't do Leeds much good for that weekend - do Hull KR have any England qualified players we would be able to vote for?

Hull KR struggle to have many England players full stop.

The powerhouse that is Ryan Bailey must surely be a starter?

if leeds are at home good luck getting leeds fans going to both games, if you can only afford to go to one thens urely it will be Leeds every time!

Looking at the website, if all the exiles players are fit and don't pull out they will make up a formidable line up. This could be a really good game.

Can't see why. It's not like he's been playing the game professionally over 15 years, captaining Australia & NSW in the process.

Poor choice.

[iAt least[/i Monaghan (sp?) is probably also gonna be on the bench so Bluey still won't ever have to play Buderus for the full 80. Phew

According to the voting so far;

Hodgson

Monaghan (J)
King
Carmont
Richards

Chase
Leuluai

Mason
Buderus
O'Meley
