dobson is in!



chan is in for the giants.... faiumu and faalogo have dropped out (faalogo taken ill with virus,miss hull game)

hope so too, tickets have been cheap enough...



seems to have been abit less build up for this game though compared to the first game.



was it 11k at langtree park?

I'm going !

Heard they had only sold 3K tickets as of last week, and are offering Championship ST fans tickets for £10, also you can get a ticket, a england and exiles shirt for £44 adults or £34 concessions.



Not sure this concept is working for a mid week game, that means not a lot and is on TV

One of the most under-rated back-rowers in SL in my opinion

Daniel Holdsworth got the nod over Dobbo , L'Estrange in at hooker. L'Estrange should have no probs finding a new club i would imagine. Like him a lot, if Higham doesnt get a new contract he would fit in well at the Wolves. Unless the Giants go in for him, Moore just signed but Brown on way to the Vikings, could be an interesting off-season to say the least www.code13rugbyleague.com/2012/0 ... y-england/

Score predictions?

I'll go for Eng 22 Exiles 16.

First try scorer - Cudjoe.

Hopefuly we will see a better game tonight, thats if it stops raining for a change!

L'Estrange is good too but dont think giants will be in for him.... we have robinson, lee and moore...with the latter fighting it out for a contract.... lunt is on loan at leeds too from us but cant see him back.

i think exiles will win.... bookies think England by 4, been alot of cash for england too.



just goes to show this is better for england as for us getting closer to beating the aussies...if we were still playing france we would be predicting wins by 40+ for England.

Well, the predictions on here have been way off. England have been terrible and Brough has been a disgrace to the shirt. Crabtree and Cudjoe have been ok, but Brough has probably been the worst England player out there.



Why was the crowd so poor? I'm sure it's not the fault of the local fans, I can well imagine it's been under advertised and having it mid-week won't encourage people to come out, but for those of you up there, has the game been given any profile locally?

Brough a disgrace??? He's been no worse than any other England player, who have been poor tonight,what a silly statement to make!

As for the crowd, well its hardly going to atrract a decent crowd wherever it was played but no doubt it will be huddersfield fans fault for not turning out to support their country blah blah blah

And yes the game has been advertised on billboards and on flyers around town but the people of huddersfield wont even support their hometown club never mind the national side
