Quote: MadDogg "There are some truly embarrassing comments in this thread.
The idea of the World Club Series is for Super League fans to get behind all participating English clubs against Australian opposition. How will an expanded competition become sustainable if this doesn't happen?
Instead people insist on taking petty, schoolboy jabs at a Wigan side who put in a phenomenal effort there.
No team would have been able to play great rugby on that pitch. It inevitably turned into a forward battle and Wigan struggled to make the ground Brisbane did due to smaller and younger forwards.
Very proud of them and unlike some very sad people, I will continue to cheer on other participating English teams by pulling for Saints tomorrow.'"
Really? The 2nd best side in the SL against the 8th best side in the NRL. Wigan had home stadium, home crowd, english rules, english ref, english weather. Wigan are in mid season whilst the NRL doesn't start for another few weeks.
IMO Wigan (and Wire) should be winning comfortably. Brisbane were nothing special at all tonight and they still looked far better than Wigan. Fitter too which shouldn't be the case at this point in the season. No wonder we never beat the Aussies!
Phenomenal effort?? Not for me
