Quote: Fantastic Mr Catpiss "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.'"
Stadium doesn't come into it. I've seen Cas Tigers play Australia, New Zealand and in the ill-fated WCC against Hunter Mariners and Perth Reds - all at Wheldon Road.
I'm "sacking it off" because I see it for what it is. A money making gimmick to get an extra £30 from the paying customer in a series of games the aussies regard as a simple trail game.
