I will say that I seen all the challenges since Manly + I don't go to games now but my two lads do,home + away + to see their joy at seeing their team win things makes me so happy. Been through a very tough time personally + watching this team the last couple of years for those two has given them a focus + really helped our family along the way. We said goodbye to their mum on Thursday this week after a 3 year battle with the harshest disease. To see them come home after every game buzzing + having something else to take their minds off things will never go unnoticed. The players visited their mum In the hospice before Xmas + it was very special. To see my boys enjoy the glory days that I've seen previously fills me with great joy + pride for my club. A tear was shed tonight

So much for the Australians 'never wanting to play the game again' due to the refereeing - Peter Vlandys in an interview called the Wigan Penrith game one of the best games youll ever see and talks about taking the game to 'state of origin' level. Also says the game needs a strong SL and they'll look at ways to support how they can. Good on him.

The sport needs a strong international platform, the more regular World Cups/5 Nations/Test Series tours the better it will be. Early 90s to Late 00's we had a great structure but we've let it slip.

Thise figures are domestic viewing figures, it would be interesting to have the global viewing figures as I suspect it would have been shown around the globe as part of the international TV deal as well

You only Watch When it's Wigan !!!
