| Quote: doc999 "Thats my point and to be honest with the format its hard to argue against , set it up properly at a proper time , make it the number one trophy to win , get rid of all the excuses , at the moment if they win its expected , if they loose its because they didnt turn up or one of the other 100 excuses , when Wigan beat Brisbane you could say without doubt they where the best team in the world , same with Widnes v Canberra , Wigan v Manly , the league format was easily the best and that did show the difference between the two comps but the rest of the WCC's seem more of a none event a bit like the charity sheild , not good for the game or the clubs imo. Dont take this as a dig against Wigan I am happy they won its more of a dig at the RFL .
send the Wigan team over to Oz to work with some of there academies to show what it takes to be world champs and really rub there noses in it , make them wat to take it seriously !
Yes Wigan where hardly game ready not much game time under there belts , just cant belive its not held after both GFs instead of meaninless internationals.'"
This is a big issue of me too. As already stated this game should be played 2 weeks after the regular season ends and played in both countries in alternate years. The Cronulla side of 2016 was a good side but i have no doubt they will struggle to make the NRL play-offs this time around. On the other flip side, the Wigan side of 2016 was tough and gritty but i firmly believe that this seasons side is a lot better. If this game was played in 2016 with 2016 squads the outcome would have been different i think. But..... having said that, i don't care at the moment because we are outright record holders of the competition and that is a fabulous achievement.

According to one poster on there we were average yesterday and Saints would have belted us
The thread on Red Vee is absolutely brilliant, pure vitriol and envy ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](images/smilies//icon_lol.gif)

| Quote: JWarriors "It's not uncommon to hear things like this. I don't know if it's just all of the one eyed fans that go on forums.
On RedVee there someone was saying our outside backs are poor.
I'd put ours up against any other team in the comp, even without Tomkins and Manfredi.
From reading what other people say about our club on forums it makes you wonder how we ever win a match.
Our outside backs are poor. Tomkins is an NRL reject who will never be the player he was. Burgess is an NRL reject. Gelling is crap and overrated. Powell is rubbish. McIlorum and Flower are nothing but thugs. FPN is past it and an NRL reject plodder. Tautai is a penalty machine and useless. Farrell is an overrated, average, penalty machine. Joel Tomkins is past it and rubbish. Lockers is and always has been overrated, and he's past it. And we are coached by a thick clueless gorilla.
These are just some of the comments I've read on these forums about our team
I just read it as attack being the best form of defence, and at present the likes of Leeds and St Helens have got a lot to be defensive about.
No doubt if Saints get to put one over us this year, as they always do at least once given that we play them so often, we'll yet again see celebrations at Langtree Park akin to the Second Coming. They just adore beating crap teams over there.
