Don't forget Martin Johnson will be watching

You do realize that when you pick your team of 13 players the other 9 to make up the 22 man squad are picked by the coach and his assistant. (Bluey and Matterson) Therefore if no Wigan players are picked by you for the 13 they can pick them. At the end of the day the Exiles team starting 13 will be picked by the coach etc. So you could still have your quota of 3 Wigan exiles playing. Plus your English players.

Exactly. I think regardless of any tactical voting that goes on by fans I would be very surprised if there aren't 3 wigan players in the final 22, especially with 7 to chose from.

Besides, the tactical voting will all negate itself.

It would probably have been an unviable option with it still being a regular SL weekend but I would have liked it to be on the Saturday and have the England Knights v France as a curtain raiser to the main game. Would obviously mean clubs have even more players missing and require postponing and rearranging of fixtures but it would be good for this new set up to get a game under their belt.

Is there a limit of Wigan players that can feature in the game before we get a week off? Because obviously we may have 3 in the exiles team and at least 3 in the England team (Lockers, Both Tomkins and Prescott off the top of my head are in the squads) and that would mean that most of our team are playing in another match when they should be playing for us. And lets be honest we ARE going to have at least 3 in that exiles team because 3 of them are convincingly winning (or second) in their positions on the current results. Tommy looks guaranteed to feature.

How would playing a weakened England team against a poor quality French team help us beat the Aussies and Kiwis and the end of the season?? Ridiculous suggestion! The French, along with every other developing RL nation has to help themselves surely. You are almost suggesting a handicap system where a team is picked based on the quality of opposition. So Wigan could help Crusaders develop by picking a weaker strength team to play against them and letting them think they are better than what they actually are could they?

From Andy Wilson

I picked who I think should play regardless of club. I'm sick of England getting battered and if this helps us catch up then I'm all for it. I went for:

1 Kearney
2 Joel
3 King
4 Soliola
5 Richards
6 Chase
7 Leuluai
8 Puletua
9 Michael
10 O'Meley
11 Hoffman
12 Fitzgibbon
13 O'Donnell

Above Webb and Hodgson?

There may be an obvious answer to this but does anyone know why Michael Dobson isn't an option at scrum half? I know he's injured but will be fit before mid June.

He's not a registered player for any SL club

I'd delete that before it all starts again ha
