Thomas Leuluai (vice captain), George Carmont, Brett Finch, Ryan Hoffman, Jeff Lima, Pat Richards and Amos Roberts are all named in the initial Exiles squad, a team made up of the cream of overseas talent drawn from the Engage Super League.
In a unique concept to British sport, the 34-strong squad will be reduced to 22, in part by public selection. This will mark the first time in UK sporting history that the public will actually be able to choose a team, with fans having the chance to select 13 of the 22 squad members to face England. The remaining nine selections will made by the Exiles coaching staff.
Who would your team be?

| Well they'll have to postpone playing Castleford again that weekend. In truth it's a total farce there are league games that weekend.

In the voting process you can only select 3 players from each side.

Why? Only three from each team (maximum) can play.

Does that include the England side though? If not, a team could have 3 in the Exiles side and just as many - maybe more - in the England side.
In truth, I don't want Wigan players anywhere near this. We've had key players missing all year and it's told.

Realistically we could be looking at both Tomkins and Lockers in the England team along with any that get selected for the Exiles.
It's a concept I'm looking forward to seeing but I hope it doesn't cost us in the long run.

| Fans getting to choose which Exiles players are included?
What a crock. Could any member of the exiles chosen refuse to play and what would be the ramifications if they did. (eg Roberts & Carmont), what could the RFL actually do? Neither are risking their future international careers by refusing are they?

I would imagine the initial 33 man squad will have made themselves available.

I'd imagine that all players listed for selection on the site have already put their hands up to play.

Exactly. Not questioning the logic of the match but why we have a set of League Games two days after it. Us bigger clubs will be hammered for players. If it was just England I'd say get on with it, like last year but it isn't really fair to expect 6-7 players to back up two days later.

| Currently looks like 3 Wigan players will make the Exiles final 22 - Leuluai, Richards and Carmont. And I wouldn't be surprised in the coaches pick Hoffman too.
I also think 3 Wigan players will probably make the England squad - O'Loughlin and both Tomkins.
That's 6 or 7 players playing 2 days before a league game. Surely we'd have grounds for postponing it, if that is the case?
I like the idea of the Exiles game - I even like the fact that the fans are involved in picking the side - but not on the same weekend as a regular SL round. That's just crazy.
Btw, Cas are likely to have just 1 player involved in the England v Exiles game - Rangi Chase.

This is the point.
More of the RFL's "level playing field" initiative.

| Well I've voted for no Wigan players to play in the Exiles. The results so far produce this team
B. Hodgson
P. Richards
J. Monaghan
M. King
G. Carmont
R. Chase
T. Leuluai
D. Buderus
C. Fitzgibbon
W. Mason
M. O'Meley
C. Newton
L. O'Donnel
There's no choice on Leuluai, he's the only scrum half available.
Oh and there's a limit to how many choices from each to team a single voter can make but I can see no limit imposed on the final selection.

| just voted myself but am wondering (never got round to checking myself as am on a quick dinner break) how many players for other SL teams have been selected for the game. does anyone have as many as (potentially) 7 players involved or with the possibility of involvement?
the rfl seriously are on to us
joking aside, i think its a great idea and i may be asking the missus if i can go to the game as its a day before my birthday - nice present!

i'm sure there was an option over leuluai - i just assumed he had 100% of the votes so far?
also, i think its basically 3 players per team per selection but overall if every picks a maximum of any 3 players from, for example, wigan, then overall they will become the majority anyway.
i.e. if i picked amos, richards and hoff and a hundred others did, then someone else picked tommy, richards & hoff etc etc they would become the majority overall

| Compare our 6 or 7 players involved with Leeds, who are likely to only have 3 - Sinfield and Hall for England & Buderus for the Exiles.
