hope the best players are selected for both sides if it is to be a success, we dont want it to be like football when players get mysterious short term injuries just before the game. Wonder where it will be played

brammel lane or city of manchester hopefully

It 100% will not be played at CoMS.

I don't see it coming to the KC, although I think that they should put in a bid for it.

I reckon it'll be Elland Road, or a Sheffield Ground.

Really like the idea of the All Stars game - would definitely be buying a ticket to that. Not at all bothered about a game against France.

The Galpharm Stadium would seem an obvious choice for it to me. Please, please... please, not Elland Road. Would love it at the KC from a purely selfish point of view, but if put in the decision role I'd never choose it - not for a one off, the geography is unfair on fans in places such as Wigan, Warrington, St. Helens etc.

I'm a bit ambivalent about this. Cannot see a big crowd to be honest and I would be concerned about a possible injury to a Hull player mid season.

It is preferable to an England v France game but is not going to make any difference to our chances of beating Australia or New Zealand.

but elland road has the best capacity for rugby league games like this becuase its bang in the middle of the heartlands and leeds have a big fanbase and we always get decent crowds for game there but would be nice to stage a game at coms but i know its really unlikley.

hopefully fitz will be involved in some capacity....and fingers crossed if he and others are, then lets hope theres no serious injurys as of steve prescott afew years back

Meaningless game and hope he and any body who is picked from Hull dont play.

as meaningless as playing france? or playing the ozzies tin there own back yard knowing full well we'll get stuffed???
i think its a good concept BUT i feel the all stars will win, and send international rugby into the bin....

What's the odds they'll play it at murrayfield to expand the game!

O'Meley and Fitzgibbon will play.

Definatley. I for one think it will be a great game!

I'd let pass holders in for half price, Would be great to fill a staduim mid season.

Sport is entertainment - its not meaningless at all.

But, that's the point isn't it - we want a team who =#0000BFcan beat us so that we have to raise our performance.

Luke Pattern, Joel Monaghon, Matt King, Pat Richards, Soliola,Mick Dobson, Brett Finch, Dallas Johnson, Fitz, Luke ODonnell,Ogre, Michael Monaghon and Joel Clinton....quick team pick.

Dallas Johnson plays in the NRL.

Thought he signed for Catalans?

He did but went home again. Frogs legs didn't agree with him

Didnt know that, shame really, he was a tackling machine....Who's he signed for?

WOW what a match that could be !!!
without much thought heres a team for starters that would give ANY international team a good match

Hodgson
Monaghon
King
Soliola
Richards
Witt
Finch
Omeley
Buderus
Lima
Manu
Odonnell
Fitzgibbon

subs from
Solomona
Hoffman
Hauraki
Puletua
Menzies
clinton
Patten

i know i would pay money to go watch those Vs England but so many different world class players who do you choose?

Being selfish I would rather Fitz and any of ours never played, not after that Prescott injury in the Yorks/Lancs match.

I must say i could see numerous rumbles as the game goes on and heads will get cracked because those not in rep status for OZ / NZ wouldnt give a monkeys would they but would have bags to prove

also you have to say that the injury scenario doesnt come into the Australian origin games so maybe this is something we need mid season each year to truly test England as a nation because the french games do not
If a full blooded affair is Good enough down under then why not here ?? just a thought
