I've been saying this for the past few years and will say it again.
For a so-called 'nothing game' and a 'distraction', the Australians don't half take the WCC seriously. Did you see the Melbourne players faces when they realised they had won? And did you see their faces two years ago when they lost?

TBF for the past few years I've not seen anyone refer to the WCC as a nothing game. |

aussie interest in the WCC is very much like a basic maths equation
aussie team + wcc divided by victory = sort of interested
aussie team + wcc divided by loss = not interested. |

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

The world club challenge final has always been a serious game. After all it decides who is the best team in the world in one match. The only teams to of shamed this match are St Helens, Penrith, Cambarre, Newcastle, Wigan and West Tigers.
Eastern Suburbs 25-2 St Helens
Widnes 30-18 Canberra
Wigan 21-4 Penrith Panthers
Brisbane Broncos 22-8 Wigan
Melbourne Storm 44-6 St Helens
Bradford Bulls 41-26 Newcastle Knights
Sydney Roosters 38-0 St Helens
Bradford Bulls 22-4 Penrith Panthers
Bradford Bulls 30-10 Wests Tigers
I'm not even getting started on Hunter Marina 
Best score ever though in a match was -
Saints 44-2 Australia  |

I bloody have!
When the Aussies lose it's a nothing game that no one takes seriously. They get their excuses in early, and repeat them in the event of a loss.
If you are not aware of that, then you have either had blinkers on or you are illiterate. |

Where the hell have you cherry picked that list from????
Where's Wigan v Manly in 1987, where is Wigan's destruction of Brisbane on Australian Soil in 1995?

Quite why you feel the need to get all abusive is beyond me.
The buildup I've seen suggests to me that the Storm were taking it seriously. Perhaps the Aussie media is different but unsurprisingly I don't read the Aussie media.
Or perhaps I am illiterate and was just looking at the pictures. |

Like St Helens you’ve had good matches in the world club challenge. Only to slip in ten points or more in another final. |

I'd class being called illiterate as abuse, not particularly hurtful I'll grant you but abuse nonetheless.
Now excuse me I must go get a tissue to dry my eyes. |

Damo, how the hell is 22-8 an embarrassment?
