Wembley, Everton, and Headingley.
Anybody on here doing all three?

Wonder if anyone can remember which UK club side beat an Aussie touring side!!!???

'78? I think Wire beat 'em as well on that tour.

Tickets booked and paid for, for all three tests!
Bring it on!

Everton, and Headingley now sold out, so.........
Let's hope we can now get that little corner of Middlesex full for the opener eh?

They’ve done well to sell out Headingley and Everton so quickly, let’s hope we get a good attendance at Wembley as well.
If(I know it’s a big if) it’s 1-1 after the first 2, I think it could be quite full.
@farnworth-viking The Wembley match is the first one not the last one. If the Headingley one wasn't a sell out already the odds on it being 1-1 after the first two games would be low, not that I'm cynical or anything!!
Great news for rl - get that on bbc instead of ladies football

I'm sure they'll want to go to Headingley 2-0 up mate, coz they're so ultra-professional, but.............
If, not, and it is 1-1, I can see the touts (for once) selling tickets at above market price!
Over half a century since we got the better of 'em, and no series win here since '59, which was even before I was watching the game, so................
It's lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng overdue!
Bring it on, and.................
COME ON ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's (at best) highly unlikely that there'll be a Chemic, or a Lion in the England line-up, so............
Just for a bit of (unbiased?) fun, and assuming everyone is fit, if...............
The first test was this weekend, who'd be your seventeen?
Full back? A lot are saying Welsby is a cert, but he's currently playing in the halves for Saints, so will he be at number one?
I reckon the only shoo-ins are Williams as he's captain, and Nsemba in the second row.
Anyway, over to you mes amis!

I just hope that we can find a couple of decent refs!!! The SL offers have been very poor, managing to really change results rather than control the players.
In the backs I think Welsby, Farnworth, Wardle, Ashton, Williams & Smith pick themselves. We used to pick Dom Young on the wing but I don't think he's getting a game at the Roosters at the moment. Marshall I suppose. Mikey Lewis a bench option. An outside bet could be the winger from Hull.
Not sure about the pack, Pearce-Paul and Smithies are having good seasons in Oz, Nsemba will be in as well. Walmsley, Thompson and Lees I suppose. Maybe Leeming and Danny Walker at hooker (prefer Walker to Clark).

Who do you suggest mate?
Is there a "neutral" ref (France? NZ? PNG?) who could do the job? I'm not sure there is, so............
If (say) Kendall gets the nod, and an iffy incident goes our way, will the Aussies cry "Fix!" or summat of that ilk? And if (say) Kline is appointed, and a contentious decision favours the Green and Gold Machine, will there be outrage in our ranks? Prob "Yes!" to both question, so................
What's the solution? I've said it on here many times, and whilst I accept, there's shed-loads who'll not / never agree with me, I firmly believe that our officials are not bent / blind / biased, and act in a totally impartial manner.
Going back to my opening message, and who'll be full-back? He's a maverick, and a controversial character, but Jake Connor is the current leader on the Albert Goldthorpe Medal Table in League Express, so will he get the call from Wane?
