Assume Sam Burgess is the No 11 you have named in your strongest side. Never any chance of playing in this match as he is still recovering from injury and not expected to be fit to play until at least the end of February.

1) If a pre-season trip was about quality of opposition then we wouldn't have gone all that way. It clearly isn't.
2) If we did stay in the UK, I doubt we'd have got a decent run out anyway.
3) If the 200 or so Warrington fans that are in Australia are upset about the prospect of playing half a Souths team they need some perspective in their lives. And their bumps feeling.
As I say, I assume you're on the wind up anyway (although I know there are some that won't be when they read the team!)'"
Wind up? yes and no
Firstly as i've already stated i 'get' the reasons for going out there.
It's great for the players, top facilities, weather, bit of a break away from the norm.
Coaching staff and club officials making friends and ties and swapping ideas in order to both raise relations and more than likely increase revenue streams.
With that i'm completely in full agreement with the tour.
My main gripe is this
If i could have afforded this i would have gone, i'd have took the wife and yes i'll be honest even without the rugby would have probably had an amazing time BUT as a fan i would have loved to have seen MY team playing the strongest possible SSR team that were available because that was the intial draw for going.
I'd love to see were my team stood in terms of quality and i'll be honest if we won now it would be hollow, it all just seems a bit pointless now (for us fans) that love the best available 'contest' they can get.
The type of supporter i am is the one who is disappointed when the oppositions best player is injured. If we are playing Wigan i want Tomkins and Lockers on the pitch. I've never been in to the friendlies in which just the kids play, maybe it's just me.
Just slightly disappointed it's a 2nd string side we have to play when they could have quite easily put the big guns on, maybe as a sign of respect for travelling so far.

I'm sure after some nice warm weather training in the Canaries we'd have had a great game against Wigan (O'Loughlin testamonial) with 2 full squads and no jet lag.
I'm 50/50 on this now before i was just 100% behind it (from me the fans' point of view)

50086_1357229109.jpg [b:33tg3xj5]Me:[/b:33tg3xj5] I'm still reeling from the news that someone is considering watching the 1st and 3rd game on Saturday and NOT watching Warrington play. It's like being in Shea Stadium when the Beatles came to town and deciding to nip out for a fag.
[b:33tg3xj5]knockersbumpMKII:[/b:33tg3xj5] Is it FOOK, you're good but you're not THAT good, jesus you wanky fans need to get over yourselves, Beatles at the Shea in '65 was a once in a lifetime opportunity for some (despite the following years performance), you can watch a very good team in primrose & yellow play every week if you really wanted to but comparing it to one of the very best music groups of all time in an iconic stadia such as the shea is overegging your importance, you're not even the best team in SL atm:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_50086.jpg |

Good post but ALL friendlies are crap by their nature. It's unrealistic to expect Souths (and Maguire in particular who is dead inside) to give too much of a toss about one just because it's a foreign team. If a Warrington fan travels to Australia and lets a weak Souths team damage their enjoyment of a trip like that then they want their bumps feeling.

| I would certainly have gone if I had the money and a weak Souths side wouldn't have bothered me. I,ve been to Sydney twice previously and there really is no better place in the world for me (unless you could lodge me in the London Bridge PH around 1974). The Wire fans who are over there will have a great time and they'll appreciate the profile that RL gets over there.

the last thing we want is maguire, the cancer of rugby league, playing his newly trained first team poisoned assassins... chicken winging us in the tackle and trying to snap knee joints with cannonballs.
the less 'roadkill' achieved the better coming into the new season.

Believed you were naming the strongest Souths side available for the Warrington match so at cross- purposes.
Anyway my wife and I will be there for the match.First match we saw when we came to Sydney in 1968 was a Souths match. Most memorable Warrington match was at Wembley in 1950 when they beat Widnes in the Challenge Cup. First time at Wembley on a school trip from Hull and part of a massive crowd of over 90,000.

| Who's broke their leg then? don't worry you're not going to get in trouble for telling us of an injury.
