International Origin: England vs Exiles

[Prop Forward]

some nice marketing being done for the game. The Exiles logo is pretty cool. Wonder what their shirts will be?

I hope we get it live into Australia.

It will be a good chance for the "exiles" to remind people how good they are back down in OZ.

BTW ... Where is the game being played? on MAIN ST ?

LOL @ being called "Exiles"

Its not very smart advertising. England are playing players that were exiled from Aus and NZ to.....England.

Logo and marketing looks great. I hope we get this match live into NZ.

How about the Boomeragng Cons as a name?

i'm waiting for my free tickets....given 99% of this was my idea ;-)

Marketing looks great. The OZ/NZ jersey looks cool.

I didn't give much hope for the Indigenous All Stars game when it first came about but it has proven itself worthwhile. Hopefully this will be a goer too.

I like the name.. it has that self bagging ring to it.. Jersey looks cool..

I'm just worried about 2 things:

a) English fans have proven to be resistant to new things (like the playoff system)

b) What if the Exiles beat England? They have 0 internationals from Aus, a handful NZers .. It would really be a slap in the face..

So it's on at 8pm on a Friday night in England in June - so that puts it on around 5am Saturday morning in EST Australia and 7am in New Zealand.

As I assume it comes under the umbrella of the 9's super league contract, I guess that means we probably won't see it at all.

It'd be a shame though, I think there'd be an audience for it.

that ain't the jersey.....expect a all black ISC jersey with gold trim

Did you design the jersey too 'spud?

 

[deluded pom?]

Wow, very creative.

I'd like to apologise for that. Sorry to all the Kiwis who are chosen for the Exiles team.

I think it's simply a case of whatever games Sky cover the NRL run, I'm sure if SKY give the necessary permissions or the clause is there they'll run it.

I know they're brain dead at Nein but surely they realise this would do a bit better in Aus than a regular game.

Wait.. that would be if they actually promoted it/played it at any sane hour. Oops. Dickheads.

I think there'd definitely be an audience here for it, even if it were on Digital or Foxtel and early in the morning given it's new and it's a quasi-international.

yep.....and for beingh a smart arse i'm not gonna tell you tonights lottery numbers :sarcasm:

 

[deluded pom?]

Can I have the Euromillions ones then?

 

[RedVee]

What is the eligibility criteria for the Exiles?

 

[Hindyscrack]

Most of the exiles squad looks like a masters team... Must be over 30 to be considered.

 

[Evil Homer]

Can't express enough disgust for this match.
