Agreed, would be good if it were here, but would be too disruptive to play it there.

Soooo...silly Wigan are now obliged to play a WCC game in the UK, meaning their pre arranged fane with Brusbane may not go ahead. Wonder what the odds are of us cancelling our 9 day pre season camp to Spain and jetting off to the Suncorp are! Perhaps might even have to fly out our 1st super league opponents too

The word in the Aus RL media is that Sharks V Wigan will be played in Sydney.

Last seasons competitors claimed it was around £150,000

Certainly an expensive venture. Disappointed though, would have been a very rare chance to see us play an NRL side. Positives in theory being avoiding a hammering and getting an advantage over the top 2.

Bad for the fans, good for team, as would be distracting and give us another game.

It should be the 2 champion teams who play each other, none of the fabricated, extended comp

Really annoyed about this was really looking forward to it, having been to everyone since Widnes beat Canberra at old Trafford (missed the Wigan v manly one at central park
Was looking forward to actually see my team in it how lucky fans of :Oldham Salford Leeds Wigan saints Halifax London broncos Bradford Warrington Sheffield Castleford Paris St Germain have been wanted our name added to the history books in a historic night at kc or in Oz
Think it should be champions only from now unless they move the goal posts to some how squeeze the rhinos in in 2017 wouldn't surprise me
Another great concept wcc but has now lacked momentum with Aussie teams not wanting to come or buying in to it! How long before rugby union run with this argggh
Bring back great Britain have a a three test and 2 club side mid season break from super league with Aussie kiwi tours hear and vice versa in the middle the stadiums will be packed we have lost any momentum internationally since world cup have we played internationally here since 2013?
And the BBC showing what respect they have for our international game having in on red button for the France game disrespectful?

Then should the champions be those who finish top after the regular season in your view and the top eight and grand final be another fabricated comp?

Football is all about the champions league and union have the Heineken cup again we can't organise a p up in a brewery as a sport

No, the champions are the GF winners. Everyone knows that

Meh. Would have been nice but honestly not bothered about this. One less opportunity for injuries and one less game to play in a crowded season.
