Yeah i have to agree there. Thought them comments will really poor from them particular posters. I wanted to see TJ picked but just because he wasn't shouldn't mean cheering on another country ffs !

There was a drop off of 9k people between the NZ game in 2016 and the Australia game at London stadium a year later, with people complaining on here about the poor view and poor atmosphere.



So no guarantees they'd have got 35k again and London Stadium will cost far more to hire than the KCOM.



I'm supportive of playing games in London, but not convinced the crowd and profit would be any higher. The core issue is still the RFL not marketing games properly.

I nkow that not all fans wear any club colurs at International games but, there were very few Leeds fans knocking about and even fewer from "over the hill".

The vast majority were FC fans. Perhaps it's not just SOME Trinity fans that dont turn up if their own clubs players aren't picked

I know Sinfield is obsessed with the town of Leigh (God knows why) but why do the RFL stage an international game (midweek) and at a ground without a train station ?

3 years ago, the same fixture at Leigh (but on a Saturday) had an attendance of 8,380, when England narrowly won 84-4.

I’d like to see RFL bring some showmanship to bear. I would have had a Barbarians style “Rest of the World” team first playing France in France and then playing England instead of the one sided game at Leigh. The thought of this England team playing an entertaining side with the likes of Hastings, Barba, Murdoch Masala et al would make the head of marketing jump for joy. If only we had one.

Pure rubbiish i thought Johnson deserved a game, and as for the myler comment, well they moan when the national side is made up from top 5-6 clubs but them moan when a player from 9th placed club gets picked.

The game being in Hull then you would expect the majority of support to be from there, just because people did not have Leeds shirts on does not mean there was not plenty from leeds. Plus Leeds had the south stand opening and shirt launch with the game in the big screen. Leeds out marketing the RFL as usual.

Even if there was a train you wouldn’t get far on a Northern Powerhouse train returning after 10. Yorkshire lads sitting next to us weren’t looking forward to drive home either. And also game was free online no incentive for mid week travel there.

Why omit the 23.5k at the KCom in 2015? Also, as asked earlier, where abouts did you sit yesterday?

Hopefully due to the England win for game 1 Anfield will be more packed out. No doubt a train strike will be announced for Sunday.

So, Leeds had a stand opening event on the same day as a test match? Classic Rugby League issue of lacking goal congruence for short term self gain.

So, maybe I was right about lack of Leeds fans ?

Poor form on their part to have the South Stand opening at the same time





You may even think that it was a deliberate snub by Leeds to have such an event clashing with an International.

And folk are complaining about Trinity fans putting club before country.
