if it's between the 2 i'd prefer the HJ
how many does leigh hold?

leigh, about 11-12,000 i think, it's nice i went the other week for a leigh v oldham friendly.

doncaster will get the france 4n test, it's the RFL's new baby, near or full houses for the challenge cup semi & wales test last year and @ 15,000 it's just the right size for a france test..

to be fair, heard good things about it after the wales game.

Is this some kind of joke?

You're going to market the game on the back of a bunch of losing Poms?


Just do this:

"Come and watch decent players play the game, and see England get crushed. Four Nations, 2009, BEEEEEEEE THEEEERRRREEEEEE!"

Burgess didn't play. If he had, we'd probably have won the tournament.

You could have has Jesus at halfback and Moses at lock, they still wouldn't have dragged sh*t like wellens, burrow, smith anywhere decent.


By the way, that fatty from Bradford is worse than Fielden these days. At least Fielden played a few test series before you idiots started saying he was the best in the world (Despite the fact he was brutally smashed in every series he took part!).

Fielden was as good as any forward on view in about 4 consecutive test series
