World Club Series Confirmed : Fri Oct 21, 2016 9:22 am  
Us to host Brisbane Broncos on Friday 18th February and Wigan to host Cronulla on the 19th February.

I know its basically a friendly but i for one cant wait for it. Hopefully a packed stadium against one of the top NRL teams. Its nice to see where we sit in comparison to the NRL teams.

Hull will probably be unhappy however it is the Top 2 SL teams against the NRL. Thanks should go to Wayne Bennett who sees the bigger picture of the game who will bring his Broncos over unlike other NRL clubs.

I think 2 + 2 could be about right.
3 + 3 weakened the concept somewhat.

While any game in the "series " is a friendly it will always remain a weakened concept.

I had hoped this would all end in something to rival rugby unions Heineken cup.... with a real rush for teams to finish in the top three at the end of the season. ...Sadly the aussies couldn't care less. ....

We should ditch the whole concept now...

. that said the broncos are my favourite nrl team so I shall be going. .... :oops:

If our 3rd team was Hull FC (and I've read your posts on how good you think they are), then I don't think that 3 + 3 weakens the concept compared with 2 + 2, it's the Aussies view on it and insular I'm alright Jack attitude that remains unhelpful

If rather see a 2 semis


SL LLS v 1st Aussie
GF winners v GF Aussie

Or GF runners up where applicable.

Then a final between those winners guaranteeing one Aussie and one SL.

You have to start somewhere and it is the best we can do with the tight calendar, geography and insularity in RL. The Union lot regularly pack out Twickenham for exhibition games - eg what on earth is a Barbarian?

I appreciate that we are the original pro sport... but why is it not possible to enjoy sport for sport's sake?

Re: World Club Series Confirmed : Fri Oct 21, 2016 5:14 pm  
I think that view mirrors mine as well. I really enjoyed our last WCS game with a pretty full HJ, even though it was a friendly of sorts. It's not often an Auusie team comes over here to play and so as far as I was concerned I was lucky to get the chance to watch it. For the players it was an opportunity to measure themselves against one of the top rl clubs and to hopefully learn and develop. I will be getting my ticket early November.

[quote="Ganson's Optician"] eg what on earth is a Barbarian? quote]

For me they scored the best rugby try I've ever seen in 1973 v the All Blacks.

7 man move going the whole length of the field involving magic side stepping and passing with an unbelievable diving finish in the corner by Gareth Edwards.
Even now I get shivers down my spine and goose bumps watching it and what a commentary from Cliff Morgan !!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwCbG4I0QyA

''This is great stuff, Phil Bennett covering, chased by Alistair Scowen, brilliant oh brilliant, John Williams, Brian Williams, John Dawes great dummy, David, Tom David, the half way line, brilliant by Quinnell, this is Gareth Edwards a dramatic start, what a score..... oh that Phil Edwards.... if the greatest writer of the written word would have written that story no one would have believed it. That really was something.

RIP Cliff Morgan. Truly brilliant commentary. (And he was a stand in when that Scottish union lovin' sod we've heard too much of over the years (Robertson?) was ill on the morning of the match)

Back then it was special and shown on the TV a few times and iirc even on the national news - which in '71 was very unusual for sport.
Today the sports writers would be creaming themselves over something like that - especially in this over-hyped era !

It may be union - and I know that for some on here it's heresy - but that's my number 1 try ever.

(And there was also another good one in that match later on !)

(I sound like a right old g*t, but I'm not - honest)
