Sod the Aussies, why not have GF winners vs CC winners one week before the season starts. Play the game at Elland Road and sell it out. The WCC is meaningless to the NRL sides so let's scrap it.

I agree. He had a look of real class about him. Reminded me a little bit of Tony Myler, who had similar terrible luck with injuries.

Ditto, I did hope that Liam Sutcliffe would develop on similar lines to those two - minus the injuries obviously.

We will be sunning ourselves in Oz in Feb lol better than a wet night in leeds

The Storm scheduling a testimonial game around the same date may have put the final nail in the WCC coffin. Unless we play them in Oz they won't be interested and would probably send a bunch of reserves over if they are forced to take part. They might do the same even if we play them here.

There was a case for cancelling the WCC next season due to the World Cup prolonging the season and needing to give players a break, but they can't use that argument given the testimonial game.
