Well, if the Wire and Wigan games are well attended we might be able to persuade the Aussies to put in a bit more commitment. I suspect the only thing that will convince them will be money.

I am not sure Wire 'qualified' anyway. I heard a rumour that in back room discussions, Hudds turned it down because they refused to put up the £170k bond that the RFL demanded.

Warrington qualified as the highest ranked losing GF semi-finalists (Rankings were based on the playoff positions which is consistent with you have to win GF to finish first) . It took a while for the reasoning to be clarified by the RFL

That's true. Saints Wigan and Warrington all paid £170k for them to come over. Hopefully bumper crowds will cover that and make profit.

If you're going to troll, at least get all your facts right. Prize money in SL is based on your overall end of season placing. Consequently after the play-offs Warrington were deemed to have an end of overall season placing of third.
It's not a smambles at all. Broncos chose to bring 18 players, that's up to them.

speaking of the broncos, they got here at the weekend, the dragons got here, thursday, i think, when are souths arriving? they're leaving it a bit late to acclimitize.

They only left last night apparently, a week should be enough for professional players to get to grips.

Warrington installed as 1/2 favourites on William Hill
