Tell that to the RFL, the attendance will dictate whether it gets done again. |

Players have spoken out in the past when they think something is a waste of time. Millenium Magic, James Graham... cough, cough.

Im sure a player will be made up, whoever it may be, when they get injured and miss key Super League games for the sake of a game, that means......erm.......nothing at all. |

We was debating whether it will be a success wasnt we.....the attendance will reflect if its a success or not. See above post.'"
But to be fair, the level of intensity and competitiveness of the game may dictate whether people go in future years. People may stay away this year as they're not sure what they're going to get. |

IMO this is basically another Lancashire v Yorkshire but with a different name, its Super League players v Super League players, that fizzled out because of lack of interest and I cant think of one valid reason why this will be any different. |

I think the concept is a good one, and if wasn't at Headingley which I am sick and tired of going to, I'd have bought tickets for it. |

Deadly serious me pal.
Although if we do win the game and it is a tough contest then I think it will be played again. I think if we get beat it will be played again. Lets be honest though, we still won't match the aussies or NZ. If by some kind of magic we do though, I'm sure the RFL will make out this game played a huge part.

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.'"
People can see through the marketing spin and are voting with their feet. Given how close it is I was considering going, however after seeing the England squad I decided against. Yesterday I got the email from the RFL with the title "Leeds fans - support England this Friday", which now means I don't get anymore marketing emails from the RFL. I wouldn't mind, they know I'm a Wigan fan as I've put it down on info before.
I'm hoping for the Exiles to win big so we might get a change of coach and at the very least the final curtain on some of the failed deadwood who should have been put out to pasture years ago. |

SOO is just NRL players v NRL players yet still commands a great attendance and viewing figures. |
