Why?

Better class of opponent....up against ex-test players instead of also rans.

Its the intensity we need, would you be happy to go back to the roses games when the quality of overseas players goes down?

Not really as it wont take off over here....been tried,just cant see it happening.

So in a few seasons if/when the Nrl cap rises and they have to find enough players for another 2 clubs, the standard of overseas player in sl is poor what should we do with the exiles game?

Not botherd what they do with it....my support is Hull fc.

Good stuff.

It is isnt it.......Will a roses match giv the "test" players the intensity they need to take on the aussies...i dont think it will and until the RL sort out a better coach and let youth have a go and not bring in other players over them then we may have a chance.

It seemed to work in oz. No coach wants the job, they aren't fussed about a ft role for a few games a year.

Not bring in other players? Like Australia just have?

I meant the cheap shot merchant that is Chase.

It says a lot about our game when a player doesn't know which side he is playing for.

Have they announced when your re-arranged game with Catalans will be played yet? IMO the best chance for it to be played would be the free weekend of the Exiles game, the same time our re-arranged game vs Wakefield is happening.

It's absolutely ridiculous. The sport is a farce. It should really be cracked down on, you choose where you're allegiances lie when you go pro and stick with it for your whole career.

I hope so, given each clubs representation.

No chance now .
