    World club challenge

    So Saints without Batchelor which is a shame but we have some strength in the back row. Team likely to be: 1 Welsby 2 Makinson 3 Hurrell 4 Percival 5 Hopoate (albeit personally I would like to see Ritson) 6 Lomax 7 Dodd 8 Walmsley 9 Roby 10 Lees 11 Sironen 12 Matautia 13 Knowles 14 Lussick 15...

    World club challenge

    Interesting thread - whilst I don't think Saints will win the WCC I certainly think they will suprise a few based on some Panthers fan comments on here. We're probably the most NRL-esque team to come out of SL in recent times, by which I mean we play with a high level of intensity that teams...

    SL isn't bubbled, the World Cup would be. You might as well compare the World Cup to the Euros games in England - no problem for the teams. And by the way "the way the COVID infections are going" is down. Way down. Not because we force players to tape closed their doors like in Oz, but...

    So travel to Oz may be cancelled whilst they play hide and seek for a few years. What about travel to the UK, any precedent for athletes visiting in 2021? As for a 4 year world cup - it's so inane that it's clear you're just a wind up merchant.

    It won't be meaningless at all. It will be a celebration of the sport and the nations and players who wanted to stand up and represent in the face of adversity (and in doing so might just have saved a number of those nations from financial oblivion). What will be meaningless is the noises out...

    Why would England have an unfair advantage? Are there different bubbles for England and the other teams?

    We're really not in a war. Unless the war you mean is getting an injection and getting on with your life, in which case it's not much of a war is it? The vaccines have changed everything in the UK - the NRL just don't want to acknowledge that.

    We are in a pandemic. Yet I spent yesterday wandering around, going to the shops, spending a couple of hours with mates in the pub, living my life as normal. I'm double jabbed and the vaccination programme rolls on. Come World Cup time Covid in the UK is likely to be well and truly under...

    You do understand the 2000 World Cup was 21 years ago right?

    It’s not about the below the line replies though is it? It’s about the blatant misinformation campaign being run to support and validate a selfish standpoint. There are plenty lapping it up and this is clearly what they are peddling to the players.

    Speaking of which: Yeah - just like every player at the Euros contracted Covid when they were flying between countries all across Europe. I can't even begin to describe how stupid this headline and article is. I'm just so relieved that rugby union players and cricketers are immune.

    Then let's hear from them then. Where is the joint statement from the Kangaroos players? The Kiwis? The PI nations players? Bar the odd one or two - silence. Where are they? Where are the fans cancelling memberships? Where are the boycotts? It's very easy to be a mildly disgruntled...

    This would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad. The equivalent of saying disband FIFA so the Premier League can run world soccer. Only an NRL employee could make such a patently absurd suggestion with a straight face - at least the REAL agenda is writ large in his every tweet. Shame on the NRL...

    It's here to stay and you'll catch it soon enough. I don't mean that in a horrible way to you, it's just the truth. Hopefully you have had your vax. And if we live in a world where nation states are releasing lab developed bugs into circulation (which I don't believe they are FWIW) you might...
