Quote: Cruncher "On last season's form, they'd be lucky.

With the possible exceptions of Manfredi (if he ever plays again) and Bateman (though he's done little in the WC so far), none of those players are NRL standard.

That said ... if they play to the best of their ability, which as Wigan fans we are desperate to see, then it's a different matter.

It's a real Catch-22.'"



Would they be lucky? My point was the NRL teams can now sign that level of player as a squad player, doubling their wage which would still put them on less than the average player in the NRL.

Quote: MR FRISK "British RL is biggest laughing stock of all major sports in the UK
ill make a couple of reasons way

1 Video Refs at 2 games a week however every one else as to rely on a ref 2 touch touches and 2 in goal judges
2 Catalans were"relegated" in 2006 but was "exempt" in 2006 and 2007!
3 Catalans get a video ref at EVERY home game
4 Wigan spent more than the cap for at least 3 seasons but only got a small points deduction
5 Why as the world club challenge only once been played in Australia and Wigan playing!
6 Australia has 2 ref at every home game but in Britain 1 ref
7 Every game is on tv in Aus but not in the Uk
8 What sport do you no of that the top side wins a shield but dosent win the championship!
9 What sport do you know of has the bottom side not relegated!
10 The "doc" tried to make Salford a team of starsbut got into trouble for it!
11 Crowds at Challenge Cup games are almost non existent Wigan only took 12,000 to the Final!
12 The "million pound" game is a JOKE
13 How can a team lose 66-10 but beat that team later on in the season!'"


You lost me at point 1) What is a "a ref 2 touch touches" very poor post. Seek help now!

Quote: stpatricks "I have watched the games solely on premier sports. they have had the aussie channel 7 coverage. Good build up to the games and commentators and guests that actually know the sport. BBC coverage is embarrising'"


I've been watching Channel 7 too, but that main host is annoying. Reminds me of Eddie Hemmings.

Whilst I agree that being solely on pay TV is a bad idea I disagree with some of your other arguments. Here’s why

The NRL and Australian Rules

And rugby union in England too, surely? They have a play-off system as well. So you really don't have to look very far.

In fact it may be harder to find sports that have no playoffs!!!!
