I'll vote for him as long as he promises not to get himself sent off or put on report. It would be just our luck for him to play in the game and then cop a ban and miss two games for us.

A great idea that the fans can choose the team. Although, looking at what I've chosen, England might get their asses handed to them.



Get in and vote for big Ray!

The only problem being that the 'Big' clubs have more fans = More votes for their players. Meaning it will just be full of players from the top clubs instead of players from all around the league. Oh well.

My thought's also , a reasonable attempt to field a Overseas Squad to Play England to be turned into th X-ile Factor !
If you look at the selection the bulk of the Squad are already loaded from the Usual clubs :-
Wigan - Leeds - Warrington- St Helens - then Huddersfield & Hull KR , the rest look a bit Token one from Salford , Bradford , Wakefield , Crusaders , Harlequins , Cas. saying that I think Ray will easily make it to the final squad.

Voting in so Far


Looks like the Warrington / Hull/ Wigan fans have been active already

At present it'll be a Warrington / Wigan / Leeds/ Saints team/ a Hull Back Row and Mason in as Prop so someone can thump 'im , Only Rangi Chase in from an ' unfavoured ' team ...

I'd rather not have any of our players in the squad tbh - Cashmere's already picked up a couple of freak injuries during his time here.

Let the big clubs let their players get knocked about - we should concentrate on trying to complete a decent seson on the pitch!!

from a salford point of view
no not pick pick him, but go for all the warrington players
it may help us on the following Sunday

Speaking to a Wire fan at work who I thought (for a Wire fan

) came up with a decent idea. Why not have 2 "exiles" matches with one team made up of say Lancs + Cru/Quins/Les Cats based players & one with Yorks players? There must be in the region of 70+ "exiles" in SL so no problem getting a team together. That way you could, say, pick 2 players from each team + 3 wildcats picks. Play the games at Headingley & Wiggin and use them both as Four Nations warm up games.

Re: Big Ray getting a call up I'd be more than happy for him to play. If he was British he'd be a shoe-in for one of the home nations teams but being Aussie he's missed out on international honours due to their strength in depth. This is as near to that as he'll ever get and it would be criminal for him to finish his career without having played at the very highest level.

Yeah just tried that but you're limited to 3 per team.

Having read the full article I think it's pretty obvious what will happen. There'll be floods of votes for Hodgson, King, J Monaghan, Thomas L etc so they'll be definites. The 9 coaches picks will then be dished out to players from outside the big 4/5 to try to keep everyone happy. IMO, the backs pretty much pick themselves but the forwards is where it becomes trickier to narrow it down.

Just had a thought. Warrington could potentially have around 9 players playing in this match (Bridge, Myler, Atkins, Harrison, Westwood and Morley for England and any 3 from the Monaghan brothers, King, Hodgson and Anderson for The Exiles).

There could be a few tired legs or even some unknown faces when we play them 2 days later.

Probably 8 then! It would be criminal if Atkins got anywhere near the international team again!!! McNamara would probably pick him, just because he's from Yorkshire.

Go on Big Ray!!! I've just voted my exile team and voted for Big Ray. Also bought my tickets today- When you vote for your exile team you get a discount code for taking the time, it got me a fiver off each of the five tickets I bought!!!! Well Chuffed my tickets only cost me £14 each to sit in the South Stand

If you're sitting in the South Stand you may struggle to see.

Good point Iain well presented, what a dullard I am at times!!! Still chuffed at the price and prefer standing to sitting anyway!! Cheers for lettin me know tho mate.

So are they selling standing tickets by each stand then rather then just general standing admission?
