Yea, I would reckon its nailed on to be the BBC game. They will want to show England, I assume the RFL believe this one will sell out, so they put it forward.

Fantastic.
It'll take me back to the internationls at Wembley days.
Was supposed to be played at the Kc, but they wouldnt guarantee the date because they didnt know what would be going on with the football season, so they ended up having to ask the JJB who said that they would guarantee the date, and inform Latics that the groud would be unavailable that day...

We used to play them at places like Wembley when Edwards was sent off for taking Clyde's head off for example. There was about 65000 people on that day. Have watched GB at places like Elland Road as well.
Somehow we lost ether the will or the ability to take such games to big stadia.
The Aussies only played at club grounds when playing the clubs as on their tour.
Those were the days!

We will never grow as a bigger game if these games are in the m62 corrider we needed to take a game to the midlands with a afternoon kick off i did mention this when the fixtures came out.
If it was marketed properly we could have it at a bigger stadium.
I love the Aus games the the JJB though they are an amazing atmosphere.
Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS
