No representatives from Bradford in either the England or Exiles squads.

I would have thought that out of the match fit Bulls players I'd have thought Kearney, Luila and L'Estrange were worth a call up for the Exiles and I don't know what Whitehead has to do to get a call up. It's certainly not change clubs because Lynch has still not got an England call up following his switch to Hull and going by his stats he's one of the best players in the competition.

Mind you, on the flip side of Bradford having no call ups, it does mean we're in a stronger position during the period the Exiles games are on as we're no players being required to do double duty.

Bateman could've got into the Knights squad too. On the other hand it's one less game to get injured in.

batemans in england academy squad for next weekends game. Certainly good enough for knoghts but maybe they want at least one more experienced head at the younger age?.

No players participating in a meaningless two game series is nothing but good from a Bulls perspective. I am pleased that it may be other teams who suffer injuries resulting from this contrived waste of time.

here here!!!

I'm with that ^^^^ one too!

People on these sites state they love Rugby League, yet when the game attempts to raise standards and the profile of the game it gets slated. Rugby League will never reach a wider audience with such narrow minded views. Rugby League needs to expand as many clubs are struggling to compete with other sports and could go out of business - namely your club. So these games, if they raise the profile of our sport do matter.

Don't worry, these people would have whinged [iexactly[/i the same about the first State of Origin games.

Dont think most are belittling the games but with our horrid recent record of injuries, im glad we have not got any players in either squad as no doubt they will pick up long term injuries

no place for paul sykes that is disgusting

Sad, small town, small team mentality from some on here.

Personally, I'd like to see Bulls players get the recognition of selection for both this and international games.

However, I can see the argument for players not getting picked being something in Bradford's favour given our run of injuries this year.

Leeds dont deserve 6 either

Do any Bulls players deserve to be picked for either, considering the form of other players in their positions?
