On the news that Fitzgibbon is looking to secure the captaincy of the all star team, who would people choose as the 17/18 players for england to face?

With all the overseas signings i'm interested to see how varied the team choices would be

So you wouldnt mind if, using some of the teams named previously, if on one weekend we had the following players playing in a high intensity (albeit fairly meaningless friendly) game, with the risk of injury?

Roberts
Richards
Finch
Leuluai
Lima
Hoffmann

Sam
Goulding
Fielden
Joel
Lockers

This system is a brilliant idea to give the England team a warm up game at a higher standard but it could only work if there was a maximum number of players from each team. Otherwise some teams could have 10+ players out while others have none.

easy.........english, and non english...........then we have the proposed friendly under a different guise.

superleague england v superleague rest of the world

I don't understand how it's any different. Do you mean just the current system but fans vote for the teams instead of coaches picking them?

read back through my original idea..........yes.........fans vote for players, no limit to how many per team, and its held at seasons end...............thats the main difference...........it doesnt disrupt the season, and allows ALL PLAYERS (except grand finalists) the opportunity to be selected

Given that this is supposed to be a good test for the England squad, I don't see how we can play it at season's end, as too many players will be missing on GF preparations. Both teams will be missing upwards of 5 players from the expected first choices, and that really doesn't help the England squad to get a good preparation.

It needs to be mid-season, and include all the players for England that will likely be selected come the end of the year.
