Cant believe this but patrick ah van is the exiles 18th man, what has he done, he has let in so many tries, how about heath, surely he should have been picked as an 18th man at least!

We should write to the RFL and complain.

Good idea. I will start my letter:
Reference 18th man.
"Am I alone in thinking it is a joke? And a disgrace."

I'm a bit stuck after that.

"Yours sincerely,"?

even if it is outside backs they are after - delaney, lulia, webster, moon, patten, robertson, howell, mellars, greenshields, webb, I think I would go as far as gelling??
Im glad it was not just me that scoffed at this decision. HMM Daniel andersson? former NZ and NZ warriors coach - poss while paddy was there?

Can only imagine it's due to versatility. Nowhere near good enough though.

Well Keith is in France on holiday right now. I suspect many other players you mention are also taking a well earned break, so it may have been a case of choosing from who was ready and available at short notice.

If Ah Van is the 18th best Exile in ESL then the standard certainly is poor.

Yours in disgust.
