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/

holdsworth is a very good player too but dobson prob having the better season so far...

L'Estrange is good too but dont think giants will be in for him.... we have robinson, lee and moore...with the latter fighting it out for a contract.... lunt is on loan at leeds too from us but cant see him back.

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!

i think exiles will win.... bookies think England by 4, been alot of cash for england too.

just goes to show this is better for england as for us getting closer to beating the aussies...if we were still playing france we would be predicting wins by 40+ for England.

Well, the predictions on here have been way off. England have been terrible and Brough has been a disgrace to the shirt. Crabtree and Cudjoe have been ok, but Brough has probably been the worst England player out there.

Why was the crowd so poor? I'm sure it's not the fault of the local fans, I can well imagine it's been under advertised and having it mid-week won't encourage people to come out, but for those of you up there, has the game been given any profile locally?

Brough a disgrace??? He's been no worse than any other England player, who have been poor tonight,what a silly statement to make!
As for the crowd, well its hardly going to atrract a decent crowd wherever it was played but no doubt it will be huddersfield fans fault for not turning out to support their country blah blah blah

And yes the game has been advertised on billboards and on flyers around town but the people of huddersfield wont even support their hometown club never mind the national side

do you ever stop bagging Huddersfields crowds. Stop joining in.

There were plenty of people from Huddersfield there tonight.

It was an INTERNATIONAL blame the people of Bradford, Wakey, Cas, Leeds Bradford and Dewsbury as well.

You are like a broken record

it was tongue in cheek at the digs from others at our crowds recently!

Didnt know it was on till our lass turned TV over halfway through.

Did you realise how brough was utilised in that game? Erm that's right he wasn't- brough should be in the centre of the field where he can dictate play and utilise his kicking game- the ball barely passed through his hands. Madness of Macca to stick him out wide.
Of course the only wire players who had a good game were those in exiles shirts. Atkins scored a try yes- but defensively ......Cudjoe was miles ahead of him in terms of performance tonight.
