So...if it had been played at a neutral ground then 15,000 Australians would have rolled up would they


Makes no difference where it's played......it's a nothing game for a trophy that only matters if you win it

....ask Leeds fans

It disappoints me that even amongst the die hard Wigan fans there is no optimism for a big crowd at a bigger venue.

With this being Wigan's first in a while they would get 20,000 of their own fans anywhere. I know a fair few people who are not even going to try getting tickets but have said they would have liked to go.

It just sums up our sport perfectly. If Union had this event, which they are bound to replicate sometime soon, they would play it at Wembley and get a massive crowd. Our sport just sits there and has the party in the back garden because it's cheaper than renting the town hall and putting up a marquee. Small minded and happy with it's decline.

No but it would of made it more of an even competition. But of course it's not about competition it's about a commercial marketing event for SL, that's why the Aussies don't respect it.

Kind of like playing the 4 nations in a RL stronghold of the Australian NRL Between Australia and New Zealand, with an Australian Ref



Fact remains....Bell End Road, Old Trafford or the DW Stadium.....the only real advantage is that it's played in the UK. If you really wanted to even things up.....play it at Craven Cottage.....you'd get more Aussies than Pies there.....

Gee this thread is droll compared to the other interesting one on the same topic.

Why?
Because it contains a more varied group of posters debating the subject than the threads where you and your bi7ch try to look clever

No because it is another variation of the "all internationals at Keepmoat Stadium".

And dead boring as a consequence.

You add a few notches to it though re- the boredom factor. Well done.

Internationals are games between countries......the World Club Challenge is a comp between TEAMS. There's a pretty big clue to that in the World CLUB Challenge



no...you just missed the point...nothing new there then

.......it's only boring if you miss the point....which makes me wonder why you bother posting on here.....you miss all the points

You may wish to google the words "a variation on" sometime when checking on the other information about rugby league I direct you to.

Maybe this thread could be merged with the other to save it?

Simple. Move the WCC to January. Move it to Australia for a Change.

How about you win the right to host the event? If the pies win, the event stays in Europe, if St.George win, the event goes down under until a SL clubs wins it back. And I know this idea will cue a load of people saying it would be in Oz every year, but it's just an idea.
