These highlights don't show everything but why did Leeds kick a penalty when already 10-0 down? |

5 wasnt it. 2 times in the league 1 in the super 8s, 1 in the cup, 1 in the playoffs.
If we do scrap it, which i think we should do rather than continue to half it, we should do a 9s comp somewhere warm to start the year or a magic style weekend where every game is televised but on the road games sold to bidding cities. |

Don't see anything with having the challenge cup winners take on the champions in a big event but like everything it needs to be put into a full fixture list which makes sense for everyone. At the moment we don't have any room with so many games and there still isn't a real international window.
Joined up thinking is what is needed.

Why not play it as the first game of the season, as Leeds' home game vs Hull, but make a bigger deal out of it? |

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg |

What we don't need is more meaningless fixtures - the WCC looks dead in the water so just see the positive its one less fixture to screw up the start of the season.

Always rated Nigel Wright, such a shame he had to pack in through injury.

Leeds Rhinos? 8 for you, Leeds Rhinos! You go, Leeds Rhinos.
And none for Castleford Tigers. Bye!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1140.jpg |

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. |

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.
