The international rfl board need to start organising events and their venues 12 months in advance so that we the fans can actually make plans to watch games instead of ifs and maybes. I love the game of rugby league but this is another case of bad organisation that the fans are suffering from. The NRL fixtures were released after 5 days of their grand final and we are still waiting for ours and the tickets to actually go on sale for Cardiff. Get it book for Reebok and then we can all get our tickets and have something to look forward. Also RFL can you let us know the venues and dates for the four nations in 2011.

Isnt the bigger issue that the sl season would have started and how would we travel over, have enough preparation time etc? i would think at least two games would need to be postponed and maybe another

Id rather play it at home, could easily derail the start of the season

We're not famous anymore...

Looks like we are now Famous again after all

If it was to be played in Aus, we'd more than likely have to play on the Friday night, fly out Sunday/Monday and play the WCC on the Sunday before another 24hr flight back to play again the following Friday. We'd be knackered!

Or, we play Thursday.
Fly out Friday evening arrive early Sunday morning in Sydney.
Game the following Saturday night, we fly back Sunday afternoon and arrive Monday morning in the UK.
Next SL game Sunday afternoon!
Job's a good un!

i can't afford to go to Sydney, but i'l be going!!!

My thoughts exactly!

Banks aren't that well protected are they?

I'd rather have it in Sydney than Bolton.

I see it as a great marketing tool to market the Wigan brand to all the Aussies especially the kids growing up, think merchandise or of a young Billy Slater, Lockyer, Inglis going to watch the game and end up supporting Wigan and end up wanting to play for us.

Once again beat the Aussies in their own back yard and show everyone that Wigan RL are back as 'THE' team in world RL.

I would go for sure.

The more i think about playing in Aus, the more exited i get about it.

It will make a massive change just to have a bit of pre-match build up and hype to add some spice to the event.

I am also facinated to see the reaction the famous Wigan would get down there.....before the event........and after we beat them!!!

In principle I'd love it if we went over there and gave the Aussies another pasting, but I don't want us to sacrifice the entire start of our season to do it. If there's a way around sorting out the fixture schedule so we can have a bit of down time after the game then I'm all for it
