If it's on a Wednesday it needs to be close to fans, So either over west at Wigan or Wire or Leeds/Hudds.

How about the Ricoh @ Coventry? they've got a good amatuer team in the city, they've already had union played at the stadium as well as American football. Easily acessed via motorway, the only problem is the parking is £10 & £7 per car and it's a little bit further. Would be a decent Sunday afternoon day out.

brammel lane on a saturday night would be the ideal venue for me but if it was to be a mid week game then it i wunt mind it at the reebok

Apparently south sydney arent going to let burgess come over for the game against the superleague aussie/nz players because its not a real game and was just invented. Was state of origin or city/country or even tri nations not just invented at some point, bl••dy arrogant aussies barking out orders again. I know it will give someone else a chance but its still not right imo. What would happen if an nrl club dint let someone play origin

"England's NRL-based trio Sam Burgess, Gareth Ellis and Gareth Widdop will not be allowed to return to England for the clash with "Exiles" All Star team on June 10. Souths chief executive Shane Richardson told Australian magazine Rugby League Week: "He (Burgess) won’t be going – it’s not an international, it’s an invented game, a trumped up game." www.loverugbyleague.com/news_527 ... gland.html

Hope we dont get anyone picked for it especially if its mid-week, Its a silly game IMO and we would be bound to get our players injured.

No way Fitz and O' Meley won't get picked.

I hope we dont have any players picked as so far the one thing we have not had this season is the annual injury crisis, matches like these can only bode for older aussies wanting to prove something and so on and so forth and the injuries follow

I hope we have some players in there.

Yeaman, Briscoe, Westerman, Fitzgibbon, O'meley all could be in with a shot.

If we get no players picked then it misses the point of the game. The England squad needs to be challenged by their opposition. If we want no FC players selected for the game then we're accepting that our players simply aren't good enough.

If it were against France again, thereby being a legit International game, should no FC players be selected incase they got injured?

that would be an even more pointless game

I agree, I too hope we have some in there. I like the idea of it, a full team of 'Exiles' will be a good watch!
