As it stands I don’t mind the game out there with Wigan as it’s classed as a league game and hopefully it sells the game to a wider audience for the good of Super League. |

I take your point. Just as the Milwaukee game did. (one for our older readers) 
But afterwards when we slump and lose at home due to insufficient recovery etc
The only hope I have of the Vegas game is it creates a catalyst for something to happen between the NRL and Super League. |

I remember that game I have a commemorative shirt from that game. And you are right about recovery time. In the beginning I was not a fan of this game but given it’s classed as a league game I came to accept it and hopefully it as some commercial benefit for the game over here.

How is playing a game in an empty stadium, in a country that doesn’t care one bit about rugby league “good for super league”?
Call it for what it is. A jolly |

Agreed.
The last 6 grand finals have been won by teams finishing 1st. The last 11 have been won by teams finishing 1st or 2nd.
On that basis, and because you're Warrington, you had slim chance from 3rd. |

You could have omitted that, but chose to hurt us  |

Fiji v PNG.
The PNG SL players really standing out in this game.
Tai having a solid game, Fiji running his side and defence held up every time, and helped Derby take 2 interceptions bring up tries.
Meme McDonald has been superb in attack.
Little Lammy and Rhyse Martin have been great too.
Fiji Naqama and even Waga Blake looking among their best.

Tai played Russell didn’t.
Fiji attacked Rod’s usual right side and couldn’t score.
Then in the second period they swapped Tai to left centre after Fiji scored twice down that side, the Fijian brief fight back was halted yet again. |

What was quite worthy of note was the Commentary Team's hype up of Rodrick Tai prior to the game. We have a world star in our midst! They love him.

Incredibly one-sided to say it was first against second. Toulouse didn't look like they would score if they had played until midnight!
The highlight probably being Max Jowitt becoming the first player in British rugby league history to score 500 points in a season although I had to smile at Jermaine McGillvary being offered, accepting and kicking the final conversion from near to the touchline minutes before retiring from playing the sport. |

Great atmosphere, it’s took long enough  their best 80 minutes all season, hopefully get into SL and make a better fist of it  |

Dan Russell starts in the back row for PNG vs Cook Islands on Sunday, so we’ll get to see how he goes on.
