Doesn't seem to be much promotion of these two games, it's as though the journalists don,t know about it.
Are we going to see the great divide again between the two comps.

Not as many people interested in the WCC series as there used to be. Same teams every year, same thumpings, not taken seriously be our NRL counterparts.
In this piece here www.canberratimes.com.au/rugby-l ... ud1an.html it states "Ian Lenagan told reporters on Tuesday he had already held discussions about Warrington and Wigan opening the 2018 Super League season at an Australian stadium."
Why do we even bother ? |

When you say 'why do we even bother' do you mean big Nige with his RU scarf to promote the game? Nah, let's leave it to the big clubs, the forward thinking ones. The ones who have for years tried to promote the game outside its own backyard.
Or the clubs could just sit there, stagnate and hope people will still turn up weekly.
I do wish sometimes that Maurice Lindsay had been twenty years younger!

I,ve been calling for another "Uncle Mo" for quite a few years now, some practical visionary who can see beyond Red Hall. The world club series has lost its profile intentions. |

I can't speak for all the NRL clubs, but I do know that's not the case for Melbourne - who, incidentally, have never shirked a WCC following a Grand Final win.
For them it is not about not caring, it's mainly that the game is a week out from the start of the season and ALWAYS entails shipping a squad half way around the world to play in frigid weather when you have been conditioning the guys to start a season at the end of an Aussie summer.
Storm have previously tried to have a couple of their WCC played in Oz to no avail.
Most of the Aussie fans, however, don't give a damn unless their club is involved.
Anyway, I have said for years - since 2000 in fact when storm played St Helens(and beat them 44-6 iirc https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/rugby ... League-NRL |
