I'll enjoy the game and I'll enjoy the event. If we pick up the trophy that is on offer then I will celebrate that.

I have to say, the three WCC's we have been involved in have produced great games and big crowds so why focus so much on the negatives?

The WCC is a massive money spinner for the two competing clubs. There's no better, practical, way to determine World Club Champions and if the Aussies can't market this game down under and don't play their full strength team then that is a matter for them.

Ah well more chance of another trophy for us then!

I dunno what the fuss is about the media make mountains out of mole hills all the time and more than often tend to stretch the true anyway.

Both teams will want it and will try their best to win the WCC. People left out of the quad because of injury and recovery is fair enough. You have to work with what you have if you want to win and not complain about "we where missing X thats why we lost."

Should make a classic game no matter who wins

(I'm backing the Rhinos) SSSSHHHH!!!!

another player to miss out of the game... Melbournes new signing Chase Stanley.

be a good game for the neutral, well more towards melbourne because "we hate rhino's"
Im looking forward to watching it, might even be going yet. You see when you played them last time they were down a few key players in cam smith and G.I and it was close but they are playing now which will be a great game to watch, 2 massive rugby teams who play great rugby league, good luck guys.

I clicked on one of the links above and it took me to YT . There was a thing about biggest hits of '09 . There were a few replays of the tackle on Bailey after he had flattened Mary . Two Saints players appear to turn him in the tackle and hold him up so FGB can take a huge charge at him from behind . Dirty FGB . The action he took in that tackle was definitely aimed at causing injury . Ban him . The game would be better off without the red-faced freckly sunburnt fker.

nah probably not.

I don't see the game as a full on legit WCC because its simply too early in the Aussie's season. However, it is a fun game, and very interesting to see the contrast in styles - and strengths and weaknesses - of NRL and SL sides. I still think the Bulldogs game was one of the most entertaining I've seen in recent years.
