Knowsley Road for a test match?
Someone is having a laugh. Talk about unambitious. The place is a dump and we want to stage a show piece game in it?

Yeah, I read that too, Dave. I wouldn't be all that keen on Noble taking time out from our problems to prepare for it, either.
Its strange aswell seeing that as i know it Stains have sold Knowsley Road in order to build an up to date stadium because they know how bad their current ground is :conf:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure
Reading it more closely, I noticed this bit:
"The New Zealand Rugby League have confirmed that their team - which will be coached by Brian McClennan - will be selected from New Zealand qualified players currently playing in the engage Super League competition"

Maybe he'll select DV? :sly:
Yeah he may need a pack mule to carry about all the equipment

How can the match be given full test status if the NZers aren't going to pick all their best players? Its just an excuse for GB to beat the reigning Tri-Nations champions to get the media interested in our chances for the next one (which we have no chance in because of the way our fixtures have been drawn up - again! )

thats the way it will stay with our games until they start the tri nations two week later as the aussies and kiwis have already played each other twice before we start due to the grand final being played
here mate is that tackle seven your jokeing my head marra
Why a NZ patched up squad?
If they want a good crowd puller, make it a rest of the world squad made up of all overseas players based in the UK not just NZ.
Anyway, on the bright side, at least it will give all our team a week off!!!!!!!
