Its great that we have no history!! Ohh hang on Wembley August 29th Warrington Wolves WIN the Challenge Cup!!! Yet where were StHelens and Wigan???:



Tonights game has got me thinking as there is a lack of "quality" International sides would it be pheasable to perhaps introduce an "Exiles" side on a more permanant basis.

I can understand the arguement that France/Wales/PNG whoever have a go in the four nations but is it good for them to come in to the tournament and get destroyed 2 out of the 3 games?

Where as the "Exiles" come over here give up their test jerseys but are still good enough to play at the highest level.

Jus wondering on other peoples thoughts.

think this would be a cracking idea but i think they are playing their cards as more of a british state of origin concept

See how it pans out over the next few years as a british SOO, move it to 3 games if successful.

Whilst i like the idea, they cant compete internationally on principal as they aren't a country icon_sad.gif good idea though

If rumours of a potentially small crowd prove correct then this may be the first but possibly the last of the Exiles. Good idea imo but another £20 plus is hard to find for lots of folk these days. Can't think that Red Hall would be happy to lose a large amount of money just to give McNamara the answers to his squad selection question marks.

Yesterday They Said they had sold over 10 thousand , so with another days sales plus the walk up i reckon maybe 15 thousand + would be a decent crowd for this first attempt at the Game ... I'd love to see it go to a 3 game series in the future . Maybe starting the season a week earlier, scrap the magic weekend too, which would create 2 free weekends for origin , and maybe have the second of the three Origin games as a midweek night match... Five years down the line this could be a pretty big series and a good competitive money spinner for the rfl, as well as great for the fans .

I'd have a game at rounds 10 & 20, then (hopefully) the deciding match after the Grand Final.

you kill 2 birds with one stone then, you have a 3 game series, aswell as a good warm up games before any prespective 4 nations or world cup !!!!

Personally I'd scrap the international game altogether if it means eight Warrington players playing in a pointless mid season fixture for England or AN Other two days before a meaningful one for us every year.

[b:33tg3xj5]Me:[/b:33tg3xj5] I'm still reeling from the news that someone is considering watching the 1st and 3rd game on Saturday and NOT watching Warrington play. It's like being in Shea Stadium when the Beatles came to town and deciding to nip out for a fag. [b:33tg3xj5]knockersbumpMKII:[/b:33tg3xj5] Is it FOOK, you're good but you're not THAT good, jesus you wanky fans need to get over yourselves, Beatles at the Shea in '65 was a once in a lifetime opportunity for some (despite the following years performance), you can watch a very good team in primrose & yellow play every week if you really wanted to but comparing it to one of the very best music groups of all time in an iconic stadia such as the shea is overegging your importance, you're not even the best team in SL atm:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_50086.jpg

The problem with people like you is that you signal the death of the game. Mainly by your attitude.

Arf.

I'll redress the balance by saying I would favour this fixture over the Magic Weekend if it was a choice between the two to fill a "free" weekend.

Have to agree, if they had made a bigger thing of it and had no other games this weekend, moved the game to a Saturday evening and made a day of it schools games etc.. before it I think that it would have a bigger impact.

When it comes to a toss up between a Friday night for a one off game like this or your club game 48 hours later,club wins everytime!

personally can't wait for this game!

and i reckon if it is a hit and gets branched out into a series they could fill 15-20k in a stadium in london if they marketed it right, i went to the union 7s the other day at twickers and there were 40 odd thousand aussies/kiwis there for what was one of the most un-interesting set of rugby games i have ever seen!!

Quote: Who are ya!! "Looks a good crowd on there.'"


It maybe a fair crowd but the game is lacking any real intensity which is mainly down to the Exiles not looking to get out of 2nd gear, you wouldn't be happy if you had shelled out £20 on a game that comes across as little more than a half hearted exhibition match, the atmosphere reflects that as you can hear a pin drop for most of the time. England look like they are trying but the Exiles don't really look interested in breaking sweat yet they are still in front at half time, its obvious whose the happier coach at the break.

Luke Robinson has looked Englands most dangerous player, Graham in the forwards and Tomkins has pulled off 2 great try saving tackles. Our half backs look devoid of any ideas whatsoever which has been the same story in the past with GB/England.

Play that at The Stoop on a Saturday night and you would have had (believe it or not) a cracking atmosphere.
