My wife will be 37 weeks pregnant by then. Unless it's to Bethlehem on a donkey, there will be no long-distance domestic travel this year. True story.



Plus I very rarely travel for proper matches these days, so no way am I doing it for a friendly! I think it's important to be consistent.

ive seen enough of all 3 to say they wont let anybody down , hood been in great form all last season, and will be ready for the battle , singleton ready but slowly slowly with a 19 year old prop , all ready played super league and never put foot wrong , ward avnt seen much of im due to his injuries, but watch im for england academy at 2nd row great 2nd half for the lad , making half breaks for fun , so very intrested to see how they perform on the day ! these kids are our future , so no rush , and let them develop without to much pressure on them !

As someone who doesn't get to many games for geographic reasons (and laziness) its probably the one game all season I'm guaranteed to go to. Its a plus seeing some of the up and coming kids, and see what they can do. Its also a chance to catch up with friends I only see every so often.

That`s true but can also be misleading.
I thought Cross would make a pretty decent signing when I saw him play on Boxing Day once!
