I wouldn't call a warm up to the Four Nations a 'high profile international match'.
I think it's good to see the sport recognising the events of 100 years ago. Only in rugby league....?

And I wouldn't call a curtain raiser to a real international match much of a commemoration either. We've missed the boat again. Yes it's "just a warm up game" but it's a game we could have used for the betterment of rugby league in one of the PI nations. If the big reason we're playing the Maori is because it's 100 years since we first played them then make it a stand alone game not an aperitif to another match. |

So we played a game against a tribe 100 years ago - big deal. Maybe we should play the Austro-Hungarian Empire in four years time in a tribute to Franz Ferdinand?

With England also playing Cumbria will this actually count as a international type match? TBH I would have preferred them to play Wales

Not sure about that.

The great one was not as confident as you.

I hope your words dont come back to nibble your little pommie backside!'"
PNG have drafted in Hull KRs Billy Mallinson to whip the PNG players into shape, in his interview in the local paper he says the language barrier was a bit of a problem, and he couldnt believe that some of the players hadnt lifted weights before either, amazing when you think how big the PNG lads are.
I reckon they could give us a shock tbh, but there downfall could be Sir Stanley Genes lack of coaching experience though. |
