I think I'd leave Crosby and gelling out, only to get Hughes in incase we get an injury in the back.

They're aware of our threats according to Mitchell Pearce on Wigan TV and will be pinpointing O'Loughlin, Chandler and our ginger backrower.

Think our lads should dye there hair or shave it off and confuse the sh*t out of them because it's quite clear from that interview that not all the Roosters players have paid much attention to detail!

Disrespect? Just a tad.

The Roosters shouldn't have much of a problem winning this one.
The Aussies have changed the rules to suit their own team by having the game played under NRL rules rather International Rules.
As if Ben Cummings didn't have enough excuse for penalising Wigan this gives him all the more.
Whoever agreed this in the Wigan camp needs a good talking to.
Yet another Aussie scam to give their team preferential treatment. That Wigan have gone along with it is naive.
If has been imposed then the Aussies should have been told "its either played
under International Rules or else it won't be played at all!"
With 25000 tickets or so sold they would have backed down!
No wonder I have a jaundiced view on International Rugby League.

why dont they all play in SBW masks and swap the numbers on their shirts to A - Q letters

It will be international rules, with 2 referees being the only difference.

I for one couldn't care what bloody rules it's played under. My team will win and bring home this World Club Challenge.
