Well at least you're honest about it.

Ok so forgive my lack of knowledge on the 'England' Rugby League set up......

I thought GB split because of the 2000 RLWC in order to make the teams up a bit with the old England Scotland Northern Ireland thing


I assume you are English from your avatar... so why does it matter to you?

Wouldnt you PREFER the team to be called 'England'???

Location of the game for me, they should have played it the anz.

Exactly.

But the Scotland, Ireland and Wales involvement of the international game depsite surving a purpose, makes a f out who can play for who and the there mere fact that anyone who has supped a pint Guinness can play for Ireland etc. Things like that are why I can't take the international game over here that seriously.

Sorry if it doesn't comply with pro-England RL opinions.

For those who are watching Mo & Ron Ball enjoy whilst I will be watching the match in Hi Def with full surround sound!

The watching on TV option wasn't available

Really or did you just make that up?

I can understand your little tantrum.

Saturday's meaningless friendly is the biggest thing to happen in little Leigh since the Wigan borough's existence.

Sorry for not sharing your enthusiasm.

i want england to be england and GB to be GB.....17 englishmen playing in the red&blue chevrons is'nt GB is it


don't get me wrong i love GB,grew up on it but its dead until the celtic nations develop enough to supply players towards a "proper" Great britain team which is'nt likely to happen for many,many years

Get off this thread with your sense and reason!

Don't talk daft, you clearly wern't about when Ken Dodd turned the Christmas Lights on.

I think hes not far off.

With the exception of the delightfully named 'Wayne Kerr' (a name that if I tried to register it on here would probably get me banned) most of the Ireland team were born in Yorkshire, Lancashire or that dead set Guinness drinking, potato eating Irish legend Pat Richards.... born in that quaint little Dublin suburb....West Sydney

There are some miserable beggars on here, its the only international on home soil this year, yet most of you S/L fans on here are whinging because "we cant get to Leigh, our players are playing twice," etc etc...

These are your players from your clubs playing for our country.

I really fail to see the problem.



I will be there cheering the lads on regardless of what you miserable bunch do

I wonder if these all of a sudden, international game infatuated Leigh supporters would be making the trip to Hull if the game was to taken place there tomorrow?

Well, personally I feel that, with the current crop of players, International RL from an English stand point is a none starter. There's more important things that need attention in the game at the moment. Mainly the development of at least 30 players who are capable of going for 80 minutes against the Aus/NZ teams. Without that, what's that point? To be consistantly the 3rd best team in the world?

Have a word with yourself I have been to all the tri nations games for the last 10 or so years regardless of where they have been played within the uk pal so dont give me that, a poor attempt at a put down

Where is the option im too lazy and would rather sit and watch it at home, posting on RLfans, complaining that International Rugby League gets shocking attendances?

But this is a meaningless friendly, that's the reason why it doesn't appeal to people including myself.

I suppose you'll try to claim that you've been to every international friendly too?

FWIW, I've been to everyone of those games too.

Got to admire your balls for having a go at people when you yourself won't be in attendance. What is it, 20 mins from Wigan? 10 quid a ticket too...



When does a friendly actually mean something? If it meant something ie World Cup qualification it wouldn't be a friendly.

No I dont claim that , but this is still the only chance this year I will get to see an international on home soil, friendly or not .

Bazza I will be on the moon watching the Quins
