Do you think Michael Maguire being an Aussie has any influence on his Wigan team selection?

No.
Amos Roberts is not getting picked. Phil Bailey wasn't included last year.

Exactly, you've proven my point.

A coach's nationality has no impact on their team selection.

The Kiwi's in Super League are a better quality than the Aussies.

Re: Exiles : Wed May 04, 2011 9:41 pm  

Michael Monaghan and Ryan Hoffman should have been included. They have been two of the outstanding players in Superleague this season.

Who is to say that they won't be included?

Three players per club rule. Wire and Wigan are already there.

And to repeat myself, that is why the game should have been played on a "League fixture free" weekend.

We should have an International weekend. Just look we had the U15 and U16 International over Easter. They could have been played as curtain raisers as could the England Knights v France game.

Didn't know there was a three player rule, that makes the farce of a selection structure even more laughable.

I understand that they are trying to include fans to generate interest, but the RFL can't half complicate things.
