| Fancy us to beat the Kiwis this weekend as long as Ellis and Westwood shake off their knocks.
What have ticket sales been like, I know 13k had been sold early last week. Hope it's a full house.

| If 13k had been sold last week it'll be very close to if not a sell out.
Gutted I can't make it as it's always a good night a test at Hull. I shall be glued to the box praying the lads can get us in to the final.
Fingers crossed for Ellis, Peacock and especially Graham. The latter was flying until his back went yesterday. The best prop in the world without doubt.

| Me and a mate will be there getting bus down to Hull from Leeds about dinner, meeting a few mates in hull and then off onto game in time for kick off
All we need is a draw to reach the final so hope they lads go out there and put NZ to the sword and hopefully a hat-trick from our new found "Englishman" Roger Chase

Best English prop by a country mile. Best in the world not so sure but definitely one of the best!

| Im sure Carvell will do the job for us if Graham is out.
Rather get Graham fit for the final if we get there.
Also, if Ellis is out, JJB is more than capable.

1 to 5 picks itself....though kirk yeaman needs to book his ideas up
6. sinfield
7. chase - McNamara won't change it......personally i'd be tempted to stick maguire @ 7
8-13/17 is where it all changes...i've gone
8. ryan bailey
9. james roby
10. gareth carvell
11. jjb
12. ben westwood
13. jon wilkin
14. widdop
15. morley
16. heighington - only playing due to injuries otherwise i'd stick him on the plane home

Ordered 4 tickets straight after the game yesterday.
I'm sure many more did on the back of a very good peformance.
Would be nice to get a full house.

| The top tier of the east stand has tickets for sale. Hull fans know better than me , does this mean sales are going well? I thought they only opened the top bit when the rest was sold out?

I think you mean the West stand. For internationals the upper tier is always open regardless. Expect about 20000 for the game

For Hull games you are correct, however the West Upper has been on sale the whole time for the England game.
hard to say how ticket sales are going, as the KC ticket office only has certain blocks/rows on sale, with the RFL selling the rest.
I can see it being a full house after yesterday's much improved display though.

| Id like to see Steve Mix it up a little should our injuries get in the way.
Id personally go for
1 -Tomkins
2 -Hall
3 -Reed
4 -Yeaman
5 -Briscoe
6 -Widdop
7 -Chase (looked solid at times for England)
8 -Morley
9 -Roby
10 -Carvell
11 -Wilkin
12 -Westwood
13 -Sinfield (proven Loose)
Subs
14 -Maguire
15 -Bailey
16 -Jones-Buchanan
17 -Heighington
but id be tempted to switch Widdop/Tomkins (both proven at FB or HB) through the game to make NZ have to think more as Sams FB running is rather predictable.

| Get Chase and the auzzies out of the squad or sack the management. Both would be ideal.

i dont agree to be honest.
Steve Mc has a job to pick the best available players and if they are available to play for England then so be it.
Im born in England, Lived my whole life in England and played for England Schoolboy but i am eligible to play for Scotland or Wales and have an offer from both to be included in the U23s squads.
I will be accepting one of the 2 because its an honour to represent a country.
Heritage means alot to some people
Rangi has stated his commitment to England and Fair enough he is only here cos of residency
BUT
From NRL
Gareth Ellis - English - Born in Castleford, West Yorkshire
Gareth Widdop - English - Born in Halifax, West Yorkshire
Jack Reed- English - Born in Silsden, West Yorkshire
Chris Heighington - Australian - Come From English heritage (Father)
