voted and get 5 quid of not bad, great concept good to get the fans involved worked really well in aussie and as for the squad well its certainly going to be a contest some classy -players on show. personally id love to see fitz and ogre take to the field they both quality players and deserve to be in the team and if we are serious about this concept which we should be then lets have the best players playing and will be an great oppitunity for 1 or 2 young forwards such as kent and green to get some game time.

Just voted. Didn't even know we were asked to.

who's coaching the team

Indeed.

Rovers would get them all off quota and under the cap

As for the 17, we should be voting for the Rovers lot, make them loose 4 players injured

My concerns about this game are obviously injuries to our players as someone has already mentioned Prekkie. Also, what happens if this team put 50-60 points past England, I could see it happening!

Also, where does this leave the French international team, have we fallen out with them? Are they not a match for England?

i believe the opposite. if they beat us we will lose face. if we lose to the exciles at least we can say it was against a team that would match the Aussie's national team. (and that would be a game i'd love to see. Exciles v Oz)

this is where the rfl should use common sense and ditch the millenium magic weekend, use this game as the only game of the weekend, we lose fitz and o'meley for our game that weekend against quins, then possibly tom briscoe for england too

and Quins could lose Clubb, Purdham, Howell.

Would be ideal if this was played on a free weekend but we don't have that luxury. Lets see which players can back it up and play both games.

Well it wont be blowing Willie!!!

To be honest alot of players will play the sunday too, they do in Aussie and they have here before.

i see your point about injuries but injuries to players happen all the time even non rugby related injuries its part of life and sport that players will pick up injuries and i for one hope fitz and ogre play. the exiles will be a tough oppisistion but i very much doubt we will get beat by 50-60 points even so should we stop playing the aussie as they have put 50 plus on us plenty of times. as for the french well at the moment they arnt good enough to compete with england, there first 17 is pretty good and could stay close with england but the chances are they are going to be injuries ect then they are having to play part time players that is why a secound team in super league is vital but thats another disscission. what needs to happen though is the french should play wales in a test that weekend as that would be a good competitive test and will give both teams ideal gametime going into the interantionals

gives a great oppitunity for players like lynne,kent,green ect to get some game time, nrl clubs dont complain when they lose players to stae of origin and thats 3 games

Generally people don't like change. Eventually they'll get used to it and wonder what they were ever concerned about.

The RFL need to stick with this Exiles game. Great idea, great concept with fans choosing most of the squad, decent venue, should be a cracking occassion.

agree, the exiles game is a brilliant concept and with the fans involved now its makes it a little more intresting and like you say people will get used to it. hopefully if it is a success then we could start to look at playing it at bigger venues like elland road and really market it but its got to be a success first cant wait tbh

I have no problem with it as a concept just the timing seems wrong. It will be a good spectacle yes but would be better if it wasnt in the middle of the season IMO. Fair enough players can get injured in many ways but I will be majorly p!ssed off if we lose someone to injury mid-season for a game which essentially means little.
