It's not exactly an 'all-star' team though is it. It's a team of former NRL players. Current Kangaroo contenders are not playing over here and the Kiwi's only used Tommy L from SL.

A true all star team would have the likes of Lockyer, Inglis, Slater, Marshall et al...

Does Madge not know that DaveO says it will be a flop?

I just hope it's played at Widnes, Warrington or Leigh instead of Headingley.

Make it £10 a ticket and play it at the HJ, you might get close to a full house. Winning team share the gate receipts? 7k a man prize money might add an extra incentive.

Just a thought, with the new salary cap increase and all the other financial nonsense meaning less of the quality Aussie/Kiwi's imports coming over, is this a game they are hoping to promote now and turn in to an event people want to really participate in and feel excited about in a hope of attracting those that might not want to come at a reduced wage in an inferior league in the future ?
