such collisions could lead to the creation of the 'Menninga Lyon-Boson'.

Isn't Origin down under based on which team you represent on your 1st grade debut, not which one you were born in?

I think so from what I've read

Spectators through the turnstiles is the acid test regarding any concept. I've always thought there's not much mileage in the Exiles concept and the interest would plummet pretty quickly. There will be more atmoshere in your local graveyard than at the next Exiles game at Huddersfield. The only pleasure I took from last nights game was Ratboy being levelled by Meli.

Part of the problem with atmosphere (or the lack of it) is that the exiles fans are only small in number and tend to be disaffected fans of SL teams whose players have been ignored and they are still happy with an England victory ?

i think it would have to be based on where you were raised and doesnt matter as much where you were born.

very similar to the last team.



Game 1: Dw Stadium

Game 2: Halliwell Jones Stadium

Game 3: Galpharm stadium



As it gets more popular which will take years for it to get going properly, then move it to the bigger venues like the reebok stadium, elland road and maybe take it up north or go to somewhere like derbys pride park.

Which part of Yorkshire is Blackpool in? And which part of Lancashire are Leeds & Hull in? Referring to Larne Patrick, Jodie Broughton & Jon Wilkin respectively.

I think its been marketed very poorly this time but I`m not sure you need 2 exiles games v England



1st date Exiles v France Yorks V Lancs Yorks V Lancs Academy U21s



2nd date Exiles v England Wales V France



Personally I still think England V the previous years super league champions would also be interesting and ensure a big crowd.

yeah i made a mistake forgot about wilkin and broughton but i thought patrick is from yorkshire but any way the thing is you get the whole idea about the yorkshire vs lancashire.



It should be a mid season yorkshire vs lancashire 3 series like the state of origin.

Then at the end of the year should have a warm up match against the exiles, alternating the venue between yorkshire and lancashire. then it goes into the next big tournament.

Larne Patrick is from Yorkshire.

Check his player profile and he is from Blackpool

Seeing as he's spent his rugby career (and was at High School) in Yorkshire we'll call him an honorary Yorkshireman.
