i put Brett in , casue i dont want to see him get hammered , but i dont expect him to win. and would rather he was playing for the Bulls. and a few players that might not be the best but would either organise a team or bring attention. got to wonder if teams like Warrington, saints and wigan that could have a lot of players england and exiles out will say?



W Mason

M Monaghan

T Puletua

S Menzies

G Morrison

D Faiumu

J Sammut

R Chase

P Richards

G Carmont

M King

J Monaghan

B Kearney

All teams listed above seem infinately better than England.

Please stop voting for Morrison. I know some of you like him from his bulls days but another injury to our weak squad will only make things worse.

I don't think you've got too much to worry about, I don't think he'll win the vote.

I disagree, all those I've highlighted below, taken from Mission's team, are not/no longer international class & would struggle to get in the England team. Not that it shouldn't be a cracking game, providing the Exiles are committed:



B Hodgson

F Meli

M King

T Leuluai

Interesting to see that Menzies currently has more votes than someone like Hoffman, and I can't understand why Faiumu only has 5% of the votes so far - the guy is quality!

I think this is an excellent idea, got to increase the number of competitive international level games if England are going to improve. I was disappointed they dropped the State of County idea years back as it seemed a good way of increasing the games they play as a group.



Would be better to have a proper break though as it starts all this club vs country debate. Sooner they change back to GB the better aswell, would save me feeling dirty supporting England!

origin was hard to fit into a busy season. some sort of origin for the U20's as a season ender could be worth watching. it gives the young lads something to play for and an opportunity to experience a higher intensity match.



would be worth having it as a curtain raiser for any international match IMO.

from a purely selfish bulls point of view hope kearney doesnt get in squad. On that note I'm going to vote for every possible saints player with our game against them shorty after the exiles game in mind

I'd personally like to see them try to make up a team by picking 1 player from each team plus 3 coaches picks. Might not be the strongest team and would probably take some thinking about but it would create a bit of interest for every club.



From a bulls point of view, it looks like we won't have a player in either team. Not sure about anyone else but my interest in international games increases if a bulls player is involved. I'm sure supporters of other teams may think on similar lines.

Not for me, but then I've always seen International RL as a different thing.



Sadly, 90% of supporters don't. In fact, it infuriates me when I attend internationals (and I go to most) and all you can hear is people cheering on players that play for their clubs, and ignoring others. Even to the point where some will slag off their rival club's players, even though they're playing for England too.



That sort of attitude doesn't exist in sports with thriving International games (at least not from the majority anyway).

Know exactly what you mean but its certainly not as I view it. I've watch internationals at Headingly before. The large family of Leeds fans stood infront of me boo'd every time a Bulls player got the ball, which was quite often as we had Peacock, Fielden and co at the Bulls at that time. It totally spoilt the game for me. Not because they didn't like Bradford but because I couldn't believe people could be so petty. It was England playing.



I must admit that an England team comprising only Wigan, Leeds and saints players doesn't have the same appeal to me as one which has a few other club representatives. I'd Still support them the same though.

Who are we playing after that game? I'll vote for players from that team then.

It's Saints, so get voting for Saints players.
