And we all know who they (or he) is.

Maybe the Aussies just don't fancy a game in Warrington, bet a game at headingley against Leeds may apeal. We should arrange are own preseason friendly

The standard of rugby league served up in SL doesn't merit any expansion of the WCC.

We can't even scrape one good SL team together, never mind three.

It's the fans I feel sorry for. I know they are some UK fans who like to salivate over the NRL and it's players, especially if they are beating a Super League team. Now they'll have less chance to do so. They must be really upset. Still, they'll have their memories to fall back on, I suppose.

So how do we get better if we don't play against better teams? How does rl expand if we just do the same stuff we have done forever?

At least GH is willing to try things.

You can bet if A N other chairman had mooted the point they wouldn't be getting as much flak as GH.

Apparently it would be better if we all pretended SL was brilliant and we are seeing a defensive masterclass from the likes of MacGraff Leuluai, the WCC makes those people look a little silly.

Three sides playing one game a year against NRL sides in their pre season isn't going to improve anything, unless the players and coaches of the SL sides involved use the events to genuinely assess their ability and make serious efforts to get better. I didn't see any rush of SL clubs to Australia to actually learn something, and still don't see it happening, except for the much maligned McNamara.

I find it strange that supporters take no pleasure in seeing the best players in their sport live?

Everyone knows the gulf in standard is large and that the WCC games will not be competitive - that is not the point it is the opportunity to see the very best live. Is that not also an attraction of international RL - is there anyone going to the England v NZ not looking forward to seeing Shaun Johnson live?

Ahh who cares? The crazed ramblings of a demented loon who only appears in times of adversity. He usually gets proved wrong again and then disappears for 6 months. This year he'll have a right arm like Popeye! Not worth the time I'm afraid.

Haha You know what I've noticed? Nobody bothered when a super league club pull out of the WCC.
But when A NRL team dose it well then everyone loses their minds!

I must be losing it. When I read your statement I could swear I heard the Joker from the Dark Knight saying those lines.

Same here! Glad I'm not the only one
