Fair enough. I think it's been a decent game so far, with plenty of improvement in them obviously. Which is what this apparently meaningless match is all about.

I've got a feeling England could score 80 points and you would still find issue.

If they are good enough, they are young enough ..

Brad Thorn played lock for New Zealand when they won the RU World Cup last year when he was 38

I guess international RU is a joke too?

Agree they would be 16+ crowd

Nah.i agree with having the game but feel we should be playing this as a warm up match just before the world cup starts when all our NRL players are back and all the squad is together.

Damn right....if you want a crowd, take it to hull!

Of course there would!

Not greatest standard of game but least gets the team gelling. The exiles team has to be one of the slowest Ive seen for a long time. Brett Hodgson needs to get back on the bus!

Defensively England look very good, especially Leroy Cudjoe.

I think we need to have an England v.s England A in the future. They would be much more aggression as both teams have something to play for.

we are whooping ar5e and you bloody lot still moan.FFS

Got to agree on the Exiles, they look like they've just been pulled out from their graves. Lifeless. Menzies has been their best player so far, interestingly.

I thought I'd come on here for a quick check at h/t, expecting to see praise for Cudjoe etc.

I just don't get some people.

Cudjoe has been majestic. A world better than he was in last years post-season internationals.

Typically on here, people are talking attendances....there would be far more if this was in Hull!

Cudjoe had a fantastic first half

I reckon it would have at least been 10k, possibly 14k with promotions etc.

I reckon it wouldn't. But who knows eh?

Very lively performance from England so far.

Why do you think more people in Hull would turn up than those that have turned up in Lancashire?

Best player in the world not bothering with the 2nd half and saving himself for the vitally important SL game against Widnes game on Monday.

Probably because the match is a complete joke. The Exiles are not an international team, there is no reason for this fabricated team to exist, no incentive for anyone to be interested as a player or fan, the whole concept is the latest in a long line of poorly thought out attempts to 'recreate Origin', which in itself is a flawed exercise. This match is an embarrassment to the sport, it's totally disrespectful, counter-productive and should be removed and replaced with legitimate international matches. The only reason it exists at present is because McNamara felt the need to bring in a bunch of stupid, half-baked initiatives when he was appointed in an attempt to hide the fact that he is totally incompetent and unsuitable for the job.

Because Hull KR fans travel to away games in huge numbers?

What an utter load of crap.

I expect a sell-out for the World Cup match against Fiji then.

Really, which part?

That must be it.

Well if u think 10k is the capacity of the KC....
