Sam, O'Loughlin, Chase, Sinfield and Hall have all been rested for the second Exiles game. Great news if you ask me. Gives them both a well earned break and to lose either of them in a meaningless game would have been terrible. Charnley and Mossop still in side. Exiles team not announced yet. Interestingly, Matty Smith's form has earned him a call up

We need Finch out of this game as well.

Looks like the desperation to shift tickets for this has reached a new level:

[iAs a valued member of the Rugby League Community we would love to see you at game 2 of the International Origin series.

England go into the game knowing victory will secure the trophy.

Your passion and commitment can make all the difference on the night so we would like to reward you with this fantastic shirt and ticket deal.

For just £44 you get a match ticket, an England shirt and an Exiles shirt.[/i

good deal on the ticket and shirts

That deal was available for the last game at St helens.

Pay another £10 and you can play.

For £20 you can score a length of the field winning try. (hope they have allowed for the 10 mins for me to run that distance!)

Can you get 2 Exiles shirts and no England one .

I thought that the original plan for the second game was that any players who's team was in the CC Cup semi-finals would be excused selection for this game .

When I first saw the squad list, it was just the surnames and I assumed 'Smith' was going to be Lee, from Leeds, going on the usual selection policy. Good to see Sam and Lockers both rested - I wouldn't be upset if McNamara tried someone else on the wing and gave Charnley the night off too.

That shirts and ticket deal has been available for a while and seemed decent - the move of flogging the tickets off for as little as they dare this week just smacks of desperation, though. Not having Sky at home, I caught the first game in the pub - it's fair to say I'll probably not be there again for this second one.

We look light on props.

I'd have called up Chris Hill and Larne Patrick but obviously Macca is planning towards a world cup and a future without Peacock so why use this game to look at options!!!

Crazy man

There was a ticket and England shirt deal circulated. They have been doing that for the last few years to be honest via amateur clubs. It's the first time I've seen 2 shirts thrown in though.

If you throw away the ticket it looks even better!

The guy doesn't have a clue. He claims we should be building for the WC. I have seen few signs of this.

If we really wanted to prepare I would have taken an inexperienced squad down under after this season and let them get bashed. Some players will go into the 2013WC never having played Aus and NZ before. Good luck with that.

True!

Dont be daft

Its Tim from Wakey

I would be astounded if wigan allowed Finch to play in this game,my guess is that he will be fit to play against the Bulls on friday night but will pick up a niggle so that he will have to miss the Exiles game but will then make a miraculous recovery in time to take the field at the weekend at Wakefield
