Having the opportunity to watch some of the best players in the world live isn't something that comes around very often, even if my team isn't involved.'"



Interesting to note that its a cas fan back there sacking it off, if they ever get their fingers out and get a new ground, they'll reap the benefits of such, for example, as a wire fan i got to see New Zealand v Australia at the HJ, that still blows my mind as a long term rugby league fan.

I love going to new grounds i've never been before, i love playing new teams i've never seen us play in my 20 something years watching.

I got to see Billy Slater, Akuila Uate,Willie Tonga Chris Lawrence Darius Boyd Darren Lockyer (c)Johnathan Thurston Paul Gallen Cameron Smith Matthew Scott Luke Lewis Sam Thaiday Anthony Watmough Cooper Cronk Keith Galloway David Shillington Tony Williams Kevin Locke Kalifa Faifai Loa Lewis Brown Gerard Beale Jason Nightingale Benji Marshall (c) Kieran Foran Ben Matulino g Issac Luke Sam McKendry Sika Manu Simon Mannering Jeremy Smith Thomas Leuluai Fuifui Moimoi Alex Glenn Jared Waerea-Hargreaves

all on my doorstep.

Last year i got to see the St George Illawara dragons, i'm never going to get to australia as far as i can see, this is fantastic to have them playing in Warrington, and people complain as well as about repetitiveness in Superleague, surely this adds a bit of variety to the season.

Just because your club doesn't stand a chance of being in it, don't write it off, trust me if cas tigers were in it, you'd have a different opinion.

I like the WCC as long as it's one game, don't see the point in 3 games, who cares about second vs second in a one off game to prove who the best second team are ?? Wouldn't mind a 4 team round robin but we don't have room in the calendar. No wonder a high percentage of the nrl can't be bothered I don't blame them, it's a long way to travel for a pointless game to keep warrington/Leeds/Wigan happy. Nothing was wrong with champions vs champions for a trophy.

Best suggestion i've seen in a long while has been doing the rounds.

Having an NRL & Super League Grand Final rematch at Wembley early in the season. So this year it'd be Wigan - Warrington following by Cronulla - Melbourne. Two competitive meaningful fixtures, and chance to market tickets to both the heartlands and the Aussies in London.

It's surely a better sell for the NRL teams than the current options?

I dont see the point in that? It would be better if it was Wigan v Cronulla and Wire v Melbourne in a double header at Wembley...but even then, it wouldnt be anywhere near a large crowd

Considering Saracens can get big crowds for a RU league game at Wembley I not so sure about that.

Yes if the NRL don't bother with any marketing but if the NRL decide to really make a go of this then I don't see why we couldn't get a bumper cry at Wembley or the Olympic stadium.

People will pay for live sport if they feel its a big event.
