It's by Aussie fans to save face or by non-Wigan fans to diminish the achievement.

By jot taking it seriously I mean it's a big effort to get them to play the game witb UK clubs often having to front a retainer, with big names often missing. And the constant will it happen won't it happen scenarios. More so when it was 3 teams.

I am always happy when uk teams are victorious, but when they do come over to win they do. Your wcc wins and widnes' in that era were great and deserved. But there was a series when Wigan saints and wire all played and all got beat.

Not atal, I want any UK side to beat the convicts. Love for us to be in it but the more recent competitions have been missing a lot of their big name players there is a reluctance to travel from them. It's notable that we have not won a wcc when travelling to oz. (according to wiki tho I thought u won over there) You can tell when they're interested as don't turn up to the UK a few days before. I think that it would be better penciled in for a week or so after both finals with it alternating between being played in UK and oz

We beat Brisbane in 94 over there in front of 54k. Quite possibly our greatest achievement in history.

I thought so, I was in hospital n WiFi was slow n morphine e was kicking in thats y I referanced wiki.

I in now way mean to detract from teams that ha e won the wcc, especially the games like the brisbane game vand the widnes Canberra game, Bradford when they won there's too these wrre fiercely contested games. I probably mean the more recent wcc series n subsequent games I just feel that the nrl teams are not that bothered about it as It is a hinderance to their pre season and they don't ridk their stars.

I like the format I think that games like this should be on everyone's to watch list irrespective if who you support. I cannot attend due to a recent injury (broke 9 bones in foot yesterday) I remember watching warrington play Australia when I was younger the international game was much stronger. Regular tours. I think this also fed the Australian desire to compete in the wcc in that time now soo nrl n beating nz are their prioritys. Let's get that gb shirt back out there home nations is OK when therss no world up or nz Australia South islander tour.

Have been to all WCC matches played in Aus and that indeed was the match to remember. Brisbane had a great side but Wigan coached by John Dorahy triumphed with Shaun Edwards being man of the match. Goal kicking by Frano Botica proved decisive.

Good luck against Easts.

Dorahy had been sacked Graham West was coach then

Hardaker or Isa to centre if Sarginson can't go then.
