Bookies have them to win by four. Can't wait for Friday myself, just wish I could be at the ground.

No.
And I wouldn't use the word 'probably' either.

Exiles by at least 8 for me. My money will be going on that. Englands backs bar Tomkins are tripe! And with Brough being injured the half backs are even worse!

Absoulute waste of time, money, advertisment and the risk of teams key players getting injured, it will never take off, nor will it ever get taken seriously by any supporter, just like the Lancashire v Yorkshire.'"
Who cares? A thread on almost every board, a 16-page thread on the VT, players in both squads saying they can't wait for Friday.
Even those who claim to have no interest in the game have come on here to give their view on the match. |

I hope its a big crowd, tbh I think it needs to hit 15k to be a success.
But I don't think its ever a good sign when they're sending out emails days before the game asking people to buy tickets. |

Myler is worse than 'tripe'? 
I reckon Sinfield will play at 6 with Myler at scrum half. Robinson starting hooker with Mickey Mac on bench.
Come the Four Nations Sam at full back, Widdop to play stand off and Brough at 7. |

As with Wigan games I tend to talk about what I think the score will be rather than the attendance when in the pub with the lads. I reckon the Exiles will win by 10. |

My point exactly, it wont take off, there is no demand (for whatever reason) for international or origin rugby in this country, end of. Christ we couldnt even anywere near fill the DW for England v Australia a few months back, this is a desperate last ditch attempt from the RFL to bring in more revenue from an "origin" style game like Lancs v Yorks, im going to predict a crowd of 12k and then it never happens again and we'll have Players v Players wives next season. |

We was debating whether it will be a success wasnt we.....the attendance will reflect if its a success or not. See above post. |

I think you were questioning whether it would be a success or not with the single factor of attendance being the gauge of triumph or failure. While attendance is obviously important as it provides revenue for the businesses that modern day clubs are, I don't think it's the sole element of a successful concept. |
