Personally I enjoyed seeing Leeds, Wigan and Hull on the tv playing Aussie clubs. It just looked and felt more exciting than watching the majority of uk only games.
I actually enjoyed the WCC game more than the first 2 League games. And this weeks TV games just felt small time again.

I suspect it’ll happen again next year in different combinations. With Hull and Wigan seeming to go better in the 2nd week having had a week to acclimatise you might get a similar thing where teams try a league game before playing an Aussie friendly or wcc game. Perhaps Leeds go closer if they had played a warm up game the week before in Aus to acclimatise better?

I agree with others that Leeds had to go as English Champions and so we bloomin should. We’ve hosted for so many years. There looked a decent crowd and Melbourne certainly looked to be taking it seriously despite the suggestion they wouldn’t. The players did plenty of PR stuff and hopefully raised awareness of the Rhinos and Leeds itself.

As for the “game causing injuries and we wouldn’t have them if we hadn’t gone as we’d have been resting up” I assume we’d have had a league game if not going over there so we could well have had injuries from that anyway so I think it’s not the right point with all the players involved. Moon might not have played I suppose but Ward, Cuthbo and Walker would have and could have got injured as could anyone else.

I think the next round of recruitment by GH is going to be very interesting

With parcel having a rare of day I thought we looked better when Dwyer was on.

And then you woke up with your head in a bowl of cornflakes!

Tom Johnstone would be a great signing.......we could use him as a battering ram in middle and give him no ball or chances on wing. He's a tremendous talent but he would be wasted at Leeds (sigh)

Now if you would have said coco pops I could have agreed with you there.
