| By looking at the current results... Might as well say we've got no Hodgson, King or Joel that week already + probably Moz, Bridge and Westwood too!

| Quote shinymcshine="shinymcshine"On paper it could be awesome, but I can almost guarentee numerous hamstring tweaks etc the week before, and the Exiles will end up with a few NL1 players and fringe SL players.'"
It could be superb or it could be as you say, a selection farce with the side that takes the field bearing no resemblance to the one the speccies select. If the Exiles side drags players out of SL selection that weekend I'm sure there will be a few fans reflecting on how this became the defining round in the hunt for the hub cap. Just as long as the Wire players come out of it unscathed I'll be happy.

| To have this game on the Friday, when there is a round of games on the weekend is ridiculous.
If they wanted this game to be taken seriously, they should have held it on a sat/sun and suspended all SL games for that round.
It will either be
a) Riddled with players dropping out due to little injury's.
b) A stroll around resembling tick and pass.

| Quote lefty goldblatt="lefty goldblatt"so, when does the innevitable cancellation of the Salford (48 hrs later), game take place.
If we've allready got 5 involved for the exiles, then potentially
Atkins
Bridge
Morley (tho God knows why, we all know what he can do)
Carvell
Westwood
Harrison
when do we fit it in. We're allready booked up every weekend to mid Sept
'"
I doubt that they will cancel the Salford game, which may mean you have to do a bit of squad rotation, tho last time Tony did that it didnt go too well
Didnt Sean O'Loughlin play an international and for Wigan in the same weekend a year or two ago?
I used to play football every night for 3 hours in the park when I were a lad

I think the actual idea is good.
Scrap the magic weekend and play this fixture mid season with a free weekend of all games i.e no Superleague or Championship fixtures.

I did! It looks like Chase is well ahead in the voting though.

| This farce is stating the obvious.
A SL regular week round is more important than this sham of a match, for the fans and probably for the clubs and players.
I wonder what we will learn 'new' about the players?
Some people said after last years Four Nations that Ryan Atkins wasn't up to international level. If he shows himself able to compete against the likes of Buderus and Morrison will that answer questions, that he's not just good against SL opposition but can step up to the international stage?
Mind you it could be worse they could have put England against Wales for a mid season stroll.
I wonder if soon we will have an England v National League All Stars game.

| Are people honestly suggesting that the SL games that weekend will be of more importance to the players than the immense pride they will feel pulling on the "Exiles" jersey? Surely not!
Pointless and potentially farcical.

Why would anyone in their right mind on here pick any Warrington players. As Rugby says load The Exiles up with Cas, Wigan & Saints players

| Can't believe i'm going to say this but i just sent an email to the RFL, i loved the idea but not at the expense of potentially a first league winners trophy in my life time.
[i Quote Dear The Person involved with brilliant ideas and messing them up at the same time
Looking at the Exiles idea and thinking what a brilliant concept, the fans really want this, I'm glad the RFL are always coming up with great ideas.
But as per
Playing it on a Friday with a normal round of superleague games that weekend ??
Reasons why i wouldn't bother if i was the RFL and trying to make money
1) People are skint, given the choice of Friday night watching the Exiles or my team on the Sunday, no contest, a sheer idiotic scheduling decision.
2) My team Warrington having potentially 9 or 10 players playing in this (to be frank meaningless) game will be severely weakened against Salford.
Can't you suspend a round of SL or have it Midweek, or have a round of SL midweek, or move a round to a bank holiday ?
I loved this idea at first and now i just bloody hate it, another last thing (check if you don't believe me)
On the rugby forums, everyone is voting for players in their nearest rivals and not the best team for the very reasons I've stated, to weaken them.
clueless clueless fools
A great, no, fantastic game ran by incompetent fools
Yours
Miffed Warrington fan'" [/i
