On Friday

At the same time as the Giants are playing Hull in SL.

I am all for the international game and all for the exiles principle but this is a joke particularly as the All stars team includes Jermaine MGilvray and Luke Yates who were in the England squad.


How fffffing incompetent is the RFL.

If I was the Giants I would play the academy. Team against Hull and threat the game with the contempt it deserves

Particularly as we have two players out injured after dangerous tackles by Salford who have been given bans for the tackles as well as players struggling after Covid. How can the Giants be in any way competitive having ther 5 best players cherry picked out of the team.

Sezer, Edwards and Leutele are the others picked out.

Oh the irony...

Players leave clubs and you had a season to prepare. Not 4 days. The post is about the uselessness of the games management .

But feel happy about your parochialness and my club is better than yours arguements

The snake pretty much tried to take most of the Salford team with him. It's widely known that he rang players directly and tapped them up and was told in no uncertain terms by a number of current Salford players where to go.

So yeah no sympathy for Hudds one bit as your Galacticos and your super duper academy should be able to cope no probs.

Huddersfield name a 13 man squad for Friday. and then deleted the tweet.

Hull missing 9 players through injury or call ups - losing Connor, Satae and Savelio (probably our best 3 players this year) to the Combined team and Shaul, Griffin, Tuimavave, Taylor, Bowden, Matongo. We have signed a championship player on load to fill out the squad for a few weeks

If they was to be games this week the England game should have been Thursday and the league games Sunday then if any player wanted to back up and play Sunday he could the RFL want

This seems such a simple solution but, way, way too complicated for the games administrators to think about.
On a more rugby related note, how on earth are the "All Atars" supposed to provide a decent test, many of those involved have only just found out that they would be playing.
RL doesnt half look like an amateur sport, we have to be better than this.

The All Stars side hasn't exactly got the cream of overseas talent and there should be questions as to why none of Saints overseas stars have been selected, it certainly looks like some dodgy deals have been done.

Yet again you spectacularly miss the point.

This is not about the Giants it is about the incompetence of the rugby league management and administration of the sport of RLin this country.

Probably run by the same sort of people like yourself who cannot see past your own little bit of the RL world.

This is not about Huddersfield or Salford. No matter how much your parochialism gets in the way !

and now walmsley has dropped out for england

Farce all round this weekend, and it doesn't help either the club or international game. The England games are now going to be broadcast in Australia and NZ and its the first England game on SKY for a while...but half the potential audience will be in stadiums watching their clubs...while the TV audience isn't watching the best players we can find either...then we wonder why SKY want to pay a low amount for RL.

Quite right. He’s got an injury. What’s the point of risking it getting worse to play some stupid friendly against some super league B team
