| Quote sanjunien="sanjunien"plus a European version of SOO for the aussies ?
pick two teams from NSW v QLD playing in europe with say, three overseas players ie Kiwis or Fijians etc for each side and have that game as a curtain raiser ?
all sets of players would be playing for local pride & bragging rights etc'"
That might be the worse idea I've ever read. |

why ?
is watching England Knights batter Ireland by 60 points as a curtain raiser entertaining RL in your opinion ?
a half decent Exiles team would have trounced England |

| Quote wigan pier="wigan pier"So you were not one of the female saints fans in front of me who cheered all night for the exiles (Meli in particular!) and booed every time sam got the ball (as did others) I went with two saints fans who were very embarrassed by the childish booing and comments if it was wigan playing fair enough but England sorry it was pathetic.'"
So does Langtree Park now join Headingley on the list of 'okay-ish grounds but the Ukraine-type indigenous idiots make them unsuitable for international RL'?
If so, I wonder how many of us would have made a few bob betting on those two being first on the list. I know I would. |

Give over  there were other fans in the stadium booing...not just Saints fans.
We were having anti-Saints/Wigan/Warrington/Leeds songs coming from a few Saints and Wigan fans in the west |

The squad selection killed that game, McNamara using the same old routine, Peacock as captain being the obvious flaw, following it up with the Sinfield at 6, form players not even making the squad and Ablett in the centre, it was obvious that fans wouldnt get behind that.
The weather didnt help, nor the Exiles lack of enthusiasm.
The concept has the potential to be brilliant, but the booing of England players and Saints fans singing Saints songs, summed up, why the concept will be gone in a couple of years.

Whilst we are at it change back to Great Britain rather than England. I know there would be very few if any players from the other nations that would get into the England team but England just doesnt have the same feel to it as Great Britain did. I always used to look forward to GB V Aus/NZ but these days i just dont get the same excitement with England.
And somebody please get rid of McNamara as head coach. At the very best he would be acceptable as assistant but having him as head coach is painful and quite honestly embarrassing. Id even rather have John Kear over this clown.

I agree, we shouldn't even try. We should just roll over and die. |
