Quote: DannyT "The people who will decide if the WCC goes anywhere will be the administrators and sponsors. 24,000 in a sold out DW, the week’s build up, a sell out weeks ago and some talking points from the game yesterday make it something more likely than not to happen again. It’s interesting that all this ‘it’ll never happen again’ line is coming from fans of clubs who’ll never have a chance of seeing their own team play in one and a few Saints fans who want to bring it back to 2023 as a comparison. Last night happened, that’s 5 for us now and I won’t really let fans of other clubs go unchallenged peddling the nonsense about the WCC being at risk.'"
I don’t think that’s true. The Aussie teams have all the power really, not the organisers or sponsors. If they don’t wanna play they won’t play, they didn’t play in 2021 or 2022 and they even forced the game to postpone its World Cup because they didn’t wanna travel. There’s every chance they’ll just say nah next year, and not just because of Saturday but SL rules next year are going to be so radically different from NRL rules that there probably won’t be much point in playing it.
That said congratulations for Saturday, whatever we think about the calls it was an incredibly gutsy performance and a really fun game to watch. I wouldn’t be d what oppo fans are saying, we’ve had people whinging about every win we’ve had for the last 5 years. Rugby league fans in this country are the absolute worst when it comes to stuff like that.
Should be a good title race this year. From what I’ve seen so far I think you and us are a clear cut above the rest, but as for who will win when we come face to face, I genuinely have no idea. Good Friday should be a cracker
