Must be a tough decision for the tomkins brothers whether to play in front of 9000 at leigh or 70000 at twickers. the national game is an embarrassment

Going back to the OP, the problem is quite simple. The opposition are woeful. A cobbled together team of low level players which England should beat comfortably. I wouldn't exactly be delighted if England won a match that they are expected to win.

I doubt the crowd numbers will have anything to do with their decision. They either love £££ or the game of Rugby League. |

| Quote: Dunbar "That’s one point of view
Mine is that London has far and away Britain’s largest offering of theatres, galleries, museums, concerts, gigs, comedy, restaurants, bars and clubs
I live in zone 2 (Shepherds Bush) and I can be in the office in the city 20 minutes... at the same time, I can be in places like Holland Park, Hammersmith, Brook Green or Chiswick in 10 minutes to find a huge amount to do and places to visit
So, your opinion is that London is a poop hole.. well, that’s your prerogative? Do you mind if I enquire where you live so I can make a judgement'"
Sure, and if you need to occupy your life with those sort of things then I imagine a large city is a decent place to live.
I live in Keighley at the moment. |

To be honest it's about where your heart lies for me. If you're an RL man why give up a short career for money? You have another 30+ years to work after finishing if you want to make money. But, you only have a few years as a top sportsman and if you have any integrity or love for a game you should play that game whatever it is. To take easy money is short-sighted and from my point of view bad for the soul. |

Just announced it as over 10K so not the worst it could've been, what's LSV capacity?

You don't think playing in front of a crowd adds to the intensity and attractiveness of the game? |

10k isn't too bad for this game but it hasn't been played at anywhere near the intensity we'll be exposed to next week. Thought the kiwi ref was pretty good today

The fact is it should be bad for this game. Would RU see 10k as a bad attendance? Would Football? |

France got 10,313 for their friendly against Scotland which was being played at the same time.

Not really. You think either Tomkins brother would even consider going to RU if the money was the same as in RL, just because they could play infront of a load hooray-henrys at Twickers? |

I personally look on with envy at RU and Football Internationals, hopefully we can create a good showing next week at Wembley. |

The fact that you failed to answer the question is duly noted. |

Completely disagree. The potential to play in massive international matches will be a big draw. The huge payrise won't hurt either |
