Cameron Smith and Billy Slater went from playing Anzac test to playing the Broncos at Suncorp for Melbourne the following day ......

Therefore, should worse case scenario occur and 6 - 8 of our lads feature in the Exiles game, I'd hope that not all of them sit the Salford match out. If they feel good and raring to go again, just get on with it. They're rugby players not fairies.

Will Webby be fit? He was on crutches after the CC match with Crusaders?

Only 3 players are allowed to play for the Exiles from each team. There's no limit for England though.

As I've said previously. If I was Stevie Mac, I wouldn't play Peacock or Moz. I'd go with Graham, Carvell, Coley and Crabtree in the front row. I wouldn't pick Myler to play either if Brough is gonna call himself English from now on, but he'd be in my squad. Bridge is a definite inclusion, as are the Benny's (H if fit). Atkins for me wouldn't make the team but would also be part of the squad.

I think our squad will be fine against Salford. Get it played and get the 2 points.

It was just a dead leg I think.


I imagine that a few players will be able to back up on the sunday, but I'm still not sure which of our players will play, as people have said, with McLennan picking Webb today, will Hodgson play?

To be honest I wouldn't want anyone backing up. It's only Salford were playing, so no point risking injury to any of our star players by putting their bodies under unnecessary strain.

It's ironic that we're all worried about not disrespecting Swinton in the Cup. Nobody cares about disrespecting Salford lol.

Eddie said on BootsnAll that he had heard there may be some agreement whereby there are no more than 4 players per club involved in total in the match. i.e. if you have 3 in the exiles team you'll only have 1 in the England team. Or 2 on each. That would seem a fair way of doing it.

The Exiles team is capped at three players per club and it would be nice to see the same restrictions imposed on the England team - or a combined cap like they suggested on Boot 'n' All. This would work nicely for us but I’m not sure how this works with regards to the quality of international fixture - there's an argument that says it should be the best players regardless of any restrictions. We have Anderson, Hodgson, King and Monas x 2 in the Exiles squad so we will get at least two of those back for the Salford game based on the three player ruling. According to the Guardian, some of our players may well back up anyway: www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/wol ... d_matches/

Didn't Moz play at Hull two years ago after playing against France on the Friday?

I'd like to think a it would be a combination of using the squad players and have a couple of the younger internationals double up, not too many though

plus Myler will be fit for contention against Leeds, let alone this game.

Yeah, along with Westwood and Gleeson if I recall.

Thoughts now that Wolves have 3 in the exiles final team and 5 in the england. I remember (was it a couple of seasons ago) Moz playing for Wolves within days of playing for England v France. Any thoughts on which players might, or which players TS would wish to double up.

What are we expecting pending injuries from the exiles game? I'm not expecting to see Hodgson, Morley, or Westwood (maybe) appear.

1. Chris Bridge (to double up)
2. Rhys Williams
3. Matty Blythe
4. Ryan Atkins
5. Matt King (to double up)
6. Lee Briers
7. Richie Myler (to double up)
8. Mike Cooper
9. Michael Monaghan
10. Paul Wood
11. Lee Mitchell
12. David Solomona
13. Simon Grix

14. Carvell (to double up)
15. Anderson (to double up)
16. Mickey Higham
17. Tyke McCarthy / Ben Westwood

Think Laithewaite will get a chance.

Can't see Hodgson backing up, suppose King and Bridge could but guess that will come down to how they feel after the end along with the others.

Wouldn't mind seeing some of the following given a go.

Jordan Burke
Ryan Shaw
Ben Hellewell
Ben Currie

If that is the squad we put out then I think they should be more than capable of coming away with a win!
