Given the general apathy in what will be a one horse race, I feel that these could be a total embarrasment in terms of attendances both at the matches and on TV.
 
Already we have seen a full team of players pull out for one reason or other usual RFL/Sky farce. 
What do you feel   |

I will still go to the game at Craven Park as not too expensive and could be a close game. I feel if the players hadn't dropped out and was going to be a full England squad then it would be a lot better attended.

 It would have been a tougher Forge than what is scheduled.

I am not sure, the ones that need surgery would drop out regardless I guess. 
The ones that did play would get a far better preparation for the 2013 WC in my opinion. |

At least the regulars can get a proper pre-season rest this year ready for next year's World Cup.
 
 This autumn's games are a chance for squad players to stake a place but really are just pre-season friendlies. Wonder if the apathy will spread to the World Cup? The Wembley date HAS to price tickets dirt cheap otherwise the ground will be about a third full if that.
