Both have withdrawn from the Exiles squad after picking up "knocks" - Eric called up.

I'm sure it's nothing serious and they'll be fine after a rest this weekend.

Perhaps Rangi Chase can change his nationality back to New Zealand and help out?

There isn't much time, but he seemed to manage it last time.

Good news for Wigan if its just a knock. Nice week off

Nice move by wigan, Finch and Carmont wont be here next year so why risk injury playing in a game that will have no bearing on their careers. Keep them fit for the club......lol, would look too suspect if Tommy and Jeff were pulled out as well.....

Agreed.

These Exiles games are a pointless waste of time with a worrying potential for injury.

do we care if it looked suspicious. The exiles is completely irrelevant and like you said will have no baring on their careers. It doesnt have the prestige of SOO and is a nothing game that to be honest doesnt even mean anything to the fans. Keep them fit for Wigan and stick two fingers up at the RFL and its attempt to mirror Australia by a creating tin pot series of matches that just puts more strain on the players and risks injury by playing more games in a short period of time ala the Easter period.

should have had a 2 game series of McBananas england aganst the form England players........lol

Not a jot . Pitty Sam and Josh are not "injured" as well .

Or real England players against plastic England players who opted to play for other countries first .

To be fair, if Wane says that you're injured, then you're injured!

Lets hope they are just "injured" and Wane's pulling a Tony Smith.

Some of the comments on here epitomise why RL is and always will be a marginal sport. Think you'll find that Finch and Carmont are injured and that IL and the club are keen to promote the international game (what's the realistic alternative to a mid-season Exiles game?) and that having so many players called up reflects well on our club.
