International Origin: England vs Exiles

[Redback71]

wonder what the game will be like?
Apparently the English fans get to pick the Exile team.

Don't know if aloud to post but here is the link for the site.

So what team would you pick?

My Team

1/ Brett Hodgson
2/ Pat richards
3/ Matt King
4/ Iosia Soliola
5/ Joel Monaghan
6/ Brett Finch
7/ Thomas Leuluai
8/ Mark O'meley
9/ Danny Buderus
10/ Willie Mason
11/ Craig Fitzgibbon
12/ Glenn Morrison
13/ Steve Menzies

14/ Michael Monaghan
15/ Michael Vella
16/ Luke O'donnell
17/ Ryan Hoffman

Now that is not a bad side and would give most teams in the NRL a run for there money.

The above is why I believe also that we need either a cap increase or another NRL team to try a bring some of these players back, not to mention the ones playing AFL and Rugby.

It's not a young team but they would probably beat the nsw origin squad lol.

Dobson was not available for selection.

why not, I thought he would be back from his ankle injury by then, maybe not.

I think he was de-registered while he's injured to make way for Mason, who is still getting a Tongan passport. When Willie sorts out his passport he won't be part of the quota and Dobson can re-sign before he's fit again.

FMD. Mick Vella is still playing!

 

[Perth Red]

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

 

[BDGS]

And this is their answer to origin?

It's not gonna work guys, I'd love it too though.

 

[timka4]

It's not a young team but they would probably beat the nsw origin squad lol.

The squad to me looks like it was the NSW team lol

 

[Bobby DIGital]

LOL @ being called "Exiles"

 

[bomberman]

Sounds like something out of Survivor. They should get Jeff Probst to ref the game.

Someone at the ERL has let their marketing department loose with the fog machine and bright lighting again. I can guess who the little guys in hoods are - I've seen lord of the rings.

Chase will be 6. He would walk into the majority (not all) of NRL teams and is one of the best young 6's I have seen. I know a lot of you will rubbish that claim because he left the NRL but he left as a kid and had Soward in front of him. He's developed well and I'd take him at Leeds and move McGuire to 7 in a flash.

 

[skeepe]

Haha Jarrod Sammut, forgot about that guy. Another Elliott success story.

 

[Zigwaa]

Can only be good for England's national side to give them some more hihg intensity games.

Does anyone know if england will try bring their english NRL players over like they did with the France test last year?

 

[Goldfields_Titans]

LOL @ the exiles logo

 

[gUt]

What's wrong with it?

Why are people rubbishing this idea? Surely it's worth a look?
