 It's strange how many folk claim a team winning from 5th devalues the sport; even stranger that many of them then seem keen to devalue the WCC by scrapping the entry requirement of being SL Champions.
If I were a cynical type I might suggest that their opinions were based on their teams being found wanting on a regular basis. Good job I'm no cynic, eh?

To be fair that's when the Storm wanted it playing, and it was mentioned in some Aussie press as been set for that Saturday! |

It was never set for that date, rfl didnt want that date, it was never gonna happen because leeds utd are at home and the gate wouldnt be big enough and police wouldnt allow both games to be played same day. |

Thought it might have been staged in Dubai or somewhere else that's warm and exotic in order to spread the RL gospel to the whole wide world and showcase that the summer rugby doctrine is where it's at.
Shame it's being played in a cold winter month in erm...Leeds.
Epic fail then.

I worked in the UAE for a year or so and took some Arab friends to an expats RU match. The finer points of the game were totally lost on them, indeed they were more interested when one of the players had his shirt torn.
So rugby over there is ok for a 7's competition once a year with fans flying out for a jolly but other than some RU vets level expat´s stuff it is a none starter IMO |

I once watched about half a season of Newcastle Falcons' home games. I can empathise fully with your Arab pals  |

So when will the Storm start withdrawing players who "haven't quite recovered in time" from off-season surgery then? Wait until after Xmas once a few more tickets have been sold?

I think we can safely assume that Billy Slater's off-season ear reconstruction surgery won't have healed in time for the trip. |
