I was wondering why this game isn't an easy sell-out. There are a number of factors against it. Maybe I can send this to the RFL.

I'm a student with no money and no car, otherwise I'd be there.

Im working a nightshift but i think location and opposition might have put me off

I've got other plans, but the fact that it's in Leigh and involves a longish journey for, effectively, a trial game, means I won't be there.

ball ache to get too with no car....

I've ticked the not interested in International Rugby League. Last internationals I went to was the England series when Rooney, Ferres and Atkins were playing. It's the lads from my team I prefer to support.

I'm doing a 14 hour shift at work which kind of precludes me being there. Have to settle for sky plusing it instead, which is a shame as i enjoyed attending the 4 nations last year.

None of the above.

Can't be d.

International Rugby League does appeal to me, but only when it involves Great Britain.

I just can't take England Rugby League serious enough to make the effort to travel to a game and spend money. Everything surrounding England Rugby League seems plastic, temporary, half hearted and untraditional.

I'm still a supporter and will watch the on tele, but unless it's a more meaningful game I don't feel as though I want to make the effort.

you better get use to ENGLAND RL then.....cos GB won't be coming back any time soon

Seems like England rugby league has much in common with many posters on RLFans.

Any game that gives a national side a decent hit out is good.

I think the French will get more out of this than England.


The main thing it will do is encourage the French to get a decent coach as they should get a flogging.

But then maybe it will also set the alarm bells ringing in Steve Macnamaras corner too if its not as one sided as you all hope

But apart from Carney (who has retired anyway) the England team is basically GB under a different name?

exactly.....GB would consist of 17 englishmen...so lets call a spade a spade...

I've personally missed a few too many of my club's games this year, so I'm going to that tonight.
Tomorrow will be filled with miscellaneous jobs and activities - I'll record the international and watch it at my leisure.

Football, cost, location and travel hold no problems for me.

Just look at who he supports. Typical.

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.
