jonny 9 times out of 10 I would shout for thr opposition every time when Wigan play.
But when any English team play the Aussies I always shout for the English team even if it does mean shouting for the Goons.

Barry McKenzie wont be living in the UK when this fixture is on.

But if I was I'd be going for Wigan too

I have an idea. It doesn't help Liverpool, it's an amazing ground for atmosphere, it's a generally nice ground, it's near Wigan and St Helens and with the right publicity, it could sell out.

Goodison Anyone?

DW Stadium, anyone?

needs to be up north or i wont be going end of. wembley is a great stadium but the cost of going from (most rl fans) up north is a bit costly to say the least. st james park maybe??

He talked me into it along with his dad when he was out on the pop in Leigh, in a kebab shop.

I think that's my way of thinking mate. Aussies are bad winners, not sure I could put up with it. Pity they don't win much.

If you are still thinking of playing at DW rather than OT or Anfield, just let it come out here... www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/leag ... 16w1a.html

Id love to see that but.. its usually around Round 4 in the calender.. Travelling there, playing a game, and back in about 5 days would be hell.

I would love to see this match staged as a major event and therefore taken to Anfield, Eastlands, Old Trafford or even Wembley.

We just have to face facts though fello enthusiasts.

The RFL will be making every effort to ensure the Millenium Stadium is promoted as much as possible to ensure a decent crowd to kick off SL in the right manner and therefore will not have the resources to give the World Club Championship full attention.

To fill a larger stadium which isnt in Wigans backyard is a tough task and with no national media coverage or promotion it would be a massive risk.

A full DW Stadium is therefore the only obvious and low risk option which will provide the setting for a superb night.

I dont mean to be small minded hear but realistic.

Wouldnt the WCC be a brilliant close to the Magic weekend! ..just saying like

They already have to rearrange a fixture for the France game though. Just pick it outta a hat

Sounds a good idea in theory but St Sc*m Illaw*nka wont bring a full strength side or any supporters.

Better to stick with Wigan v Saint Helens IMO

It would be great to see a big stadium filled with supporters for this fixture, but given that it is going to be just a couple of weeks after the Magic weekend it's a bit much to ask your average skint neutral supporter.

Hosting it at the DW qould ensure a huge turnout of Wiganers, and perhaps a good contingent from Saints, Wire and Widnes.
