team announced as..

1 Stefan Ratchford (Warrington Wolves, Wigan St Patricks)
2 Josh Charnley (Wigan Warriors, Wigan St Patricks)
3 Leroy Cudjoe (Huddersfield Giants, Newsome Panthers)
4 Ryan Atkins (Warrington Wolves, Stanningley)
5 Tom Briscoe (Hull FC, Featherstone Lions)
6 Matty Smith (Salford City Reds, Blackbrook)
7 Danny Brough (Huddersfield Giants, Thornhill Trojans)

14 Rob Burrow (Leeds Rhinos, Featherstone Lions)
15 Liam Farrell (Wigan Warriors, Wigan St Patricks)
16 Lee Mossop (Wigan Warriors, Hensingham)
17 Scott Taylor (Hull KR, Skirlaugh)


a few dropping out from the earlier game v exiles with injuries etc...which doesnt look good but then again alot of people were saying that they prefered the knights team!!! so hey a few have been promoted....vital for next years world cup to try new things and give players a chance

Yes mate, on a few occasions - had a stormer V Hull FC last weekend but was a bit ordinary at Salford on fri. Kick returns are top drawer and Tony Smith must now be considering him a direct replacement for Brett Hodgson.
When is the Exiles team being announced? I'd like to see Dobson get in , that would be a great battle with Danny Brough in the halves!

Just hope there's a decent crowd.

hope so too, tickets have been cheap enough...

seems to have been abit less build up for this game though compared to the first game.

was it 11k at langtree park?

I'm going !

Heard they had only sold 3K tickets as of last week, and are offering Championship ST fans tickets for £10, also you can get a ticket, a england and exiles shirt for £44 adults or £34 concessions.

Not sure this concept is working for a mid week game, that means not a lot and is on TV

One of the most under-rated back-rowers in SL in my opinion

Daniel Holdsworth got the nod over Dobbo , L'Estrange in at hooker. L'Estrange should have no probs finding a new club i would imagine. Like him a lot, if Higham doesnt get a new contract he would fit in well at the Wolves. Unless the Giants go in for him, Moore just signed but Brown on way to the Vikings, could be an interesting off-season to say the least http://www.code13rugbyleague.com/2012/0 ... y-england/

Score predictions?
I'll go for Eng 22 Exiles 16.
First try scorer - Cudjoe.
Hopefuly we will see a better game tonight, thats if it stops raining for a change!
