Adam Cuthbertson will be playing for Leeds in this game. He will retire after the game. A fitting send of for a great player.

Absolutely, I just think it’ll be a cricket score when they play New Zealand. It would be great if a Jamaican domestic league player got a pro or semi pro deal out the tournament.

That NZ side has the capability of really challenging the Aussies.

Anyone but Australia to win...basically

From that squad, so much for not playing leaving players
I think Rhyse Martin may drop out but that would be understandable

Surprised If Bentley, Martin and myler play so close to the WC

Surprised if we don’t draft in more former Rhinos what are retiring. None know of any more?

It was always an absurd suggestion that players under contract would for some reason refuse to play against one of the best teams in the world in a farewell appearance.

Mitch Garbutt?

Only if James Tamou guests for NZ…

I got it wrong about the strength of team by looks of that squad.
Will Cuthbo bring Ferres along to twist the knife into NZ ?

Ticket sales don’t look to be great for this, what was the crowd last time?

Edited to add - just checked it was just over 20,000!

2015 was a special event to be fair. It won't be as many as that, but it'll be more than were there the previous time we played the Kiwis (1993, att 6,820). So it'll be fine.

Have the club got the ticket prices for this wrong?

Did they think it would sell really well regardless of price - by that I mean keeping tickets at usual match day prices (is that what they are priced at?)

Lower the ticket prices and you get close, if not, a full house for this game.

I'm not going to it.

Leeds vs one of the best teams in the world should be discounted?

Yeah that's what I asked. Do people think the club got prices wrong?

Number of factors here for me.. end of the season, poss a slight bit of deflation after GF, hard financial times, world cup shortly, full price tickets (i'd have liked to have seen a small reduction)

They should have given discount to Season Ticket holders

Agree

Did someone say it was on TV?

frosties.

it isnt

With the Grand Final followed by a full World Cup of games there’s a lot of games in a short period of time in addition to the season ticket.

Normally I’d definitely be at a fixture like Leeds v NZ but this year have got tickets to World Cup games instead, I’m sure many will be in a similar position.

If we get 10,000 we’ve done ok for this fixture imo tickets at a lower price would have been more tempting.

I didn’t, but it’s on the RL app.

apologies

I think Sky Sports NZ (something called Sky Sport Next) are streaming it.

Im sure last time they didn't announce it was being shown until pretty much the day before the game - presumably to get more ticket sales?

Yeah it's streamed on YouTube, via Sky New Zealand or something, unsure as to whether UK viewers will have access to it.

But it's also going to be streamed on the OurLeague/RL World Cup app too
