| A lot of people on this forum are joyous about the news of Wayne Pearce's son, Mitchell, being exposed in a drunken series of events that will cost him his participation in the WCC.
St Helens players are likely to be complacent knowing that the Sydney Roosters' and NSW Blues star half back will not be playing against them.
What all of these cynical people do not grasp is that both of Mitchell Pearce's likely replacements, Tyler Cornish and Jayden Nikorima, are both consummate professionals with loads of talent. They will be playing behind a pack of forwards, led by Jared Wharea-Hargreaves and Jake Friend, that will easily overpower the St Helens pack. In that situation Cornish or Nikorima will have no trouble unleashing the Roosters talented back line to score bucket loads of tries against their English opponents. How ironical that one of the try scorers is likely to be former Wigan star Joseph Burgess.
Brisbane also have far too much talent to be seriously challenged by the Wigan Warriors, now deprived of Joseph Burgess, and with Samuel Tomkins still hampered by injury. Brisbane narrowly lost last year's NRL Grand Final, but have been strengthened by the addition in the centre position of James Roberts -- Dally M centre of the year 2015 and the fastest man in the NRL. The Brisbane pack of forwards is stronger than Wigan's, and the dazzling Brisbane halves of Benjamin Hunt and Anthony Milford will run rings around their Wigan opposites. I cannot see Wigan getting within 18 points of Brisbane.
I am afraid that two of the three WCC matches are likely to be one sided in favour of the Australian teams. Only Leeds have the talent to keep the scorelines close against North Queensland

| lets just hope its three good quality games, generally the nrl teams are better than sl teams, but it will still be pre season for the aussie lads so they will lack match fitness/battle hardness. could go either way to be honest

| Roberts is vastly overrated. He's fast but that's about it. Ryan Atkins would have stood out in that Gold Coast team last year. You neglect to mention also the loss of hodges , a true world class centre.

"Johnathan" is the way the North Queensland captain spells his given name.
You must learn to respect the facts.

| Should be 3 fantastic games hopefully played in front of sell out crowds with 6 points either way in all 3 games. Hope all 6 teams play their strongest teams the game needs these matches to be successes. Looking forward to attending 2 of the 3.
